Maxim Lapierre scored the only goal of the match at 4:35 of the third period while Roberto Luongo (pictured here) recovered from two miserable performances in Boston to post a 31-save shutout as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the visiting Boston Bruins 1-0 in game five of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday to take a three-games-to-two series lead. The Canucks, by beating the Bruins in Boston this coming Monday night, would win their first-ever Stanley Cup title---and the first for a Canadian club since Montreal in 1993. If the Bruins win at home in Game Six, then the seventh and deciding game would take place next Wednesday in Vancouver.
