BOSTON - Adam McQuaid scored early in the third period, Tuukka Rask posted his second shutout of the series, and the Boston Bruins swept their way to the Stanley Cup final with a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night. The Bruins won the Eastern Conference final 4-0 and held the high-scoring Penguins to just two goals in the stunning sweep. Boston will face either the Chicago Blackhawks or Los Angeles Kings when the Bruins shoot for their second Stanley Cup title in three years. Chicago leads that series 3-1 and can advance to the finals with a home win on Saturday night. The Penguins season ended swiftly and shockingly as the NHLs highest scoring team got zero points in the series from offensive stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. McQuaid scored at 5:01 of the final period on a 45-foot slap shot from the right over the glove of goalie Tomas Vokoun. That unleashed loud chants of "We want the Cup!" from the capacity crowd. The top-seeded Penguins were trying to overcome both the disciplined defence of the fourth-seeded Bruins and history. Only three teams had lost a series after winning the first three games. The last was the Bruins in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia Flyers. Pittsburgh was swept for the first time in 47 series. The last team to do it was Boston in 1979.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It seems like an annual rite of the preseason to pick Notre Dame to win the Atlantic Coast Conference.The three-time defending champion Fighting Irish were selected Wednesday to win the ACC again. Theyve been the favorite every year since joining the conference before the 2013-14 season.Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw knows it wont be easy to win a fourth straight title.This league is getting better every year, she said. We have a lot of young talent to go along with a strong veteran group, but there are a lot of really good teams in this conference.To win a fourth consecutive conference title, the Irish will have to do it in a new venue. The ACC announced Wednesday that its conference tournament would relocate from Greensboro, North Carolina, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, because of a state law that restricts the rights of LGBT people. The ACC pulled 10 neutral-site championships out of North Carolina last month because of the law.Its been a difficult time in the state with lots of things, Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. I feel for the conference for the adjustments they had to make so late. We didnt want to ever leave Greensboro, nothing could match that. Credit to the conference for finding an appropriate place that could handle us at that late hour.Coastal Carolina will host the tournament from March 1-5. It will be the conferences seventh appearance in South Carolina and first since a five-year run in Rock Hill from 1992-96. ACC womens basketball associate commissioner Nora Lynn Finch said the conference also looked at sites in Florida and Virginia as possible hosts.Myrtle Beach had everything we were looking for in a site and was able to accommodate us for what we needed, Finch said.She didnt know if Myrtle Beaach was going to be a one-year site.ddddddddddddThats out of our hands, we love Greensboro, she said. Greensboros been the gold standard for womens basketball tournaments. ... We hope its one year, but we dont know. That rests in the hands of state government.North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell was a big fan of the move. She has a house in the area and has taken her team to Myrtle Beach to play for the last 22 years.I love it, Hatchell said of the relocation. We get better crowds down there than we do in Chapel Hill. They love us, they love womens basketball. ... Theyll have a great setup.Challenging the Irish will be Louisville and Florida State, who are second and third in the preseason poll. Syracuse, fresh off its appearance in the NCAA championship game, was picked fourth.Miami, Duke, North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Virginia round out the first 10. Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pitt and Clemson finish out the voting.The Cardinals are led by returning conference player of the year Myisha Hines-Allen. She also was selected as the preseason player of the year.Its an honor, Hines-Allen said. Seeing the coaches and media recognize me as one of the best players in this conference, which is the best conference in the country, is a blessing.Joining the Louisville junior on the preseason squad were teammates Asia Durr and Mariya Moore; Rebecca Greenwell of Duke; Leticia Romero and Shakayla Thomas of Florida State; Adrienne Motley of Miami; Lindsay Allen and Brianna Turner of Notre Dame; and Alexis Peterson of Syracuse.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
