Semi-finals Game 6: Boston 5 at Toronto 0

Boston Bruins exploded for four goals in the second period, as they closed out Toronto Maple Leafs with a 5-0 victory in Game 6 of their semi-finals series.

Bruins will meet Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Finals after Habs eliminated Detroit Red Wings in five games.

Cal Gardner scored two goals and added an assist and Bob Armstrong chipped in with three assists for Bruins, who missed a chance to eliminate Toronto in Boston in Game 5 with an ugly loss, which also ended 5-0.

But Bruins jumped on Leafs early in Game 6 as Gardner scored just 1:45 into the first period, snapping a wrist shot from the faceoff circle to the left of goalie Ed Chadwick.

The second period was all Bruins.

Doug Mohns, Jack Bionda, Gardner again and Johnny Peirson all beat Chadwick. The last three goals were all scored within three minutes.

Bruins goalie Terry Sawchuk made 35 saves as he posted the second straight shutout in the series, rebounding nicely from a rough Game 5.

Game 1 of the Cup Finals will be in Montreal on Saturday night.
