Boston Bruins 46-25-11) at Vancouver Canucks (54-19-9) Finally, Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is upon us! The Boston Bruins travel to Vancouver on Wednesday night in the first step in ending a 39 year Stanley Cup drought while the Canucks will be looking to win their first Cup in their 40 year history. <\/p>\n So what can we expect from Game 1? Vancouver has had eight full days for rest and rust while the Bruins are just four days removed from a grueling seven game series against Tampa Bay. <\/p>\n Boston won the only meeting of the clubs this season 3-1 but that game took place with Alex Edler and Kevin Bieksa on the sidelines for Vancouver and with Sami Salo playing his first game of the season.<\/p>\n Both teams enter Wednesday night\u2019s game playing very well offensively. Although they only managed one goal total in the clinching game against Tampa, Boston still boasts one of the hotter lines in the series \u2013 David Krejci (four points in two games), Nathan Horton (three points in two games) and Milan Lucic (three points in three games). Boston will also bring a deep lineup \u2013 three lines have proven that they are dangerous.<\/p>\n Vancouver has hot lines of its own heading into Game 1. Fresh off a five game series in which he recorded 12 points, Henrik Sedin has six points in his last two games, Daniel Sedin has four points in two games and Alex Burrows has three points in two. Like the Bruins, the Canucks have been effective at rolling all four lines and looking dangerous in the process.
