ShitLOL!I only watched the first period in that game, so i missed a lot of the scrummy stuff obviously. I cannot be outraged when i didn't know that happened, lol.
Sitting in the Black Rose bar in Boston watching the Bruins hopefully lose the game.

You were wearing a habs jersey and hat, right?Moved to The Landing at Long Wharf. Outdoor bar and better atmosphere.
My train from NYC got in too late to make the game, otherwise I would have paid up for a ticket and gone to see the game live.

Puh-leeez! That goes on in every NHL arena.Here is my takeaway from last night's game:
- the Hawks were finally willing to work harder in the Bruin's end and get some traffic in front of the net and were rewarded for it.
- Crawford was uncharacteristically terrible last night. 2 or 3 of the Bruin's goals last night were ones he should have had easily but whiffed on. The one that went off the glass, top of the net, and then dropped right in front of the net was a really lucky bounce for Boston and probably the only one that he really had no chance on.
- Bruins fans chanting CRAW-FORD when their goalie has given up just as many if not more goals (this game) is just stupid.
After the last 2 or 3 periods of game 2 and game 3 I honestly thought the Hawks were done for. It seemed like they were giving no effort and were struggling to keep up with what looked like a far superior Bruins team. Last night it looked like they actually cared and had some jump. If the Hawks are willing to play the way that they did last game (throw pucks on the net and get traffic in front of Rask) I think they could win in 6. Crawford has shown throughout the playoffs that he can make the saves that he whiffed on last night so I wouldn't expect another performance like that from him.
Does anyone know why Leddy sat most of the game last night? If he was in the doghouse I'm surprised that Q didn't swap him and Oduya as the game went on. If he was injured, why was he still on the bench?

I'll admit it: I thought the series was over after game 3. The Bruins really looked like they had hit their defensive stride, and the Hawks look tired. I was afraid that maybe the 7 game series against the Wings and all of the overtimes had taken too much out of them.
Then a strange thing happened: The Bruins came out in game four and looked tired and disinterested, and they were never able to turn it around. Only Crawford's rookie league level performance kept them it the game at all.
This was a game that could have essentially decided the series and the Bruins didn't accept the challenge for some reason. Hockey is a very strange game.
PS - SLingbox is great for watching live sports when you're away from home.
The Bruins have those Blackhawks right where they want 'em.
In their own building with a chance to force Game 7. They've been there done that.Playing awesome with depth and one win away from another cup?
