Tough task for Portland to fight back against P-Bruins

As The Portland Press-Herald reports today, the Portland Pirates will have a very hard task on their hands as they try to climb out of a 2-0 hole in their playoff series with the Providence Bruins. The series resumes tonight in Maine. Click here to read the article by staff writer Paul Betit. Here's an excerpt:

The Providence Bruins made it look easy when they opened the Atlantic Division finals last weekend with two lopsided victories.

At times the Bruins, the AHL's best team in the regular season, looked like they should be playing for the Stanley Cup, not the Calder Cup.

In the two games at Providence, the Bruins outscored the Pirates 11-1 and had a 73-47 edge in shots on goal.

The Pirates are trying to put all of that out of their minds.

"It was a frustrating weekend but at the same time, it's the playoffs," said Portland center Jason King. "We have to leave the last game behind us. You can't change what happened."

Meanwhile, The Boston Herald's Stephen Harris writes today that the P-Bruins "may just be the finest hockey team in the world, outside of the NHL."
