STOCKHOLM, (OTHL) --- The Bruins decided there series against Florida on home ice, as a packed FleetCenter got to see the Bruins win game five 2-1 to move into the Stanley Cup final. Pavel Datsyuk (6) and former Panther Olli Jokinen (6) scored the two Boston goals, with Jokinen being the decider halfway through the third period. Rick Nash scored the lone Florida marker, a power play goal late in the first.

Last season Nikolai Khabibulin carried the Atlanta Thrashers to cup glory, and then people laughed when he signed with Anaheim during the off-season. Now he is one game away from his second straight cup final, as he made 37 saves in game five, giving Anaheim a 4-3 over time win against Vancouver on away ice. Dion Phaneuf (4) scored the winner, only a minute into the first over time.
