Game two of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals will take place on Saturday night from downtown Vancouver.

The Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins will meet tonight in game two of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver. The game is one that promises to be filled with pressure for both teams as Vancouver will not want to drop a home game in the series while Boston will not want to be in an 0-2 hole.

Game one was a defensive battle as the Canucks and Bruins played to a 1-0 final with Vancouver winning by virtue of a very late goal by Raffi Torres. Boston, as a result of the shutout loss, are still looking for their first goal of the series but both teams are actually in search of offense.

The Canucks have to be happy with the win, whether by a score of 1-0 or 6-0, but one goal hardly ever holds up for victory in the NHL playoffs. The Canucks didn't get production offensively and Roberto Luongo, although always capable of posting a shutout, has to be given some margin for error.

Boston might ground some confidence in the fact that they played the top seeded team to a close one goal game especially in a hostile environment. 

According to Boston coach Claude Julien: "I think we played a real good road game...To be in the situation we were after two periods, I didn't mind it, especially against this hockey club. I thought our PK did a great job against their power play. Timmy made the big saves when he had to...Obviously, (in the) third period they were the better team and they ended up scoring that goal. It got away from us, but we still got an opportunity here in the next game to hopefully get that one and kind of get the home-ice advantage."

Saturday night's game is scheduled for 8pm ET with television coverage available with NBC, CBC, and RDS.
