OT - Bruins vs Senators

[Actual Pats Fan]

They had a 3-1 lead with under 12 minutes to play.. and then Chara flipped the puck into the stands with 12 seconds left.. started off OT with him in the penalty box. They blew it.

A wasted opportunity. I think they went into a shell after the second period.

God, am I glad I stopped watching after the second period.

I understand about injuries, but I believe the Bruins should win this series regardless. The Sens simply are not as good as other teams will be in later rounds. I think the Bruins sat on their lead. They had six total shots the rest of the way.

Playing aggressively and keeping the pressure on their opponents' defense is the way they should always play. They should learn from how game six ended in '13.

You can't lose as many defenseman as they have and be expected to win any series. They really need to get a couple of these guys back soon, if they do they should still win the series. If they can get them all back for the next series I'd pick them to win that as well.

Awesome

Nothing like playoff hockey, I love the identity these young players are bringing to this team.

 

[BobDigital]

That was a great 4 on 4 how the bruins didn't score i don't know .

 

[Huckleberry1]

Erik Karlson is a great player.

This is always a billion times more entertaining than the NBA playoffs, which are pretty much boring until game 6 of the finals it seems. Of course, ESPN hardly pays attention to the NHL.

 

[captain insano]

what a waste of a come back that was. such a stupid penalty to take.

 

[FCB02062]

They let karlsson get away W a hook then get the Bs retaliation after a crosscheck ...such bullschitt

 

[supafly]

what a waste of a come back that was. such a stupid penalty to take.

Terrible penalty for the second game in a row, and again--at the worst time possible as it pertains to putting the team in the PK situation in overtime.

How is this not matching roughing minors?

BOBBY!!! Steal another one at the garden and my Sens are looking good going back to the CTC for game 5 hopefully.

Yup, "Steal" is definitely how i would describe it. That was a BS call to give the Sens a PP in OT, especially after what they were letting Methot get away with throughout the game. Let the players decide the game.

That first Senators goal was absolutely amazing.

The last goal had some pretty sweet passing too (but obviously the goal pissed me off).

No surprises.

I hope the leaders on the team make it clear to the youngsters that this can be overcome, don't be discouraged, keep plugging.

Good Luck.

BTW, I think it's dumb that you guys can't hang eleven Cup banners from your rafters...same sport, same league, same city, same team name...they should be honored. JMO

Refs blew it, but Bruins must overcome it. Survive and Advance.

I would like to see us a little more aggressive, look for a SHG.

I really want to see more shots on their goalie. We were able to do that up there.

Terrible call, they let that go twice in the third when a Senator hit Schaller twice in the face right in front of the refs.

Because Schaller didn't fall like he was hit by Mike Tyson. Ryan sold it like he almost always does and the ref fell for it.

On a side note, Phaneuf should be fined (at the least) for that slash on Backes. Cheap shot by a cheap shot artist.
