    With a chance to eliminate the New York Rangers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Thursday night, the Boston Bruins probably didn't need added motivation. Nevertheless, they might have gotten it from New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist.

    "I've looked at a few games, and they definitely got some lucky bounces," Lundqvist said Thursday morning. "Last game I blame the loss on lucky bounces, but they haven't changed the way they're playing. They shoot from the point, and they get a lot of people in front of the net. That's what they do, and they're good at it. You just have to play them hard and make sure we make it tough for them to get in front."

    There was at least one bounce that didn't go Boston's way in Game 3, which was won by Boston 2-1 when a Shawn Thornton shot got behind Lundqvist in the crease but didn't cross the line. Daniel Paille, however, soon rectified that by coming from behind the net to knock it in.

    Lundqvist's comments drew a smile from Bruins forward Milan Lucic.
