game score,and commentary...

Vancouver 3,Boston 2... Alexandre Burrows scored at eleven seconds,of overtime... difference in series is that Vancouver has taken advantage of a very over-anxious Tim Thomas on both winning goals,in the opening two games,and Thomas has let two soft goals-being out of position,on both Canucks' game winning goals,and he has not played well,overall,in both games,at critical times... even the winning goal happened because of one great keep-in,by Ryan Kesler,and two great passes,a tic-tac-toe play,when Thomas tried to wait for a shot,and was out of position,when Jannik Hansen received a pass,from Kesler,and then quickly passed the puck,to Raffi Torres,for winning goal,with nineteen seconds left,in game one... as for game two,the Canucks were outplayed,by the Bruins,and were behind 2-1,at end of forty minutes,but Vancouver played the third period with desperation,and tied game,at two,with a goal,by Daniel Sedin,at 9:34,of third period,who chipped puck,over a outstretched Tim Thomas,into net... Alexandre Burrows had a beautiful wrap-around,and puck crossed goal line,with a twisting shot,as Burrows was going away from net,and Tim Thomas tried to chip on Burrows,as he went around net,and left an empty net,when he could not scramble back into goal... what a gorgeous shot,for a game winner,and puts Boston into an position,of trying to win four of the next five games-a hole that 13.4%,of teams have dug themselves out of that,to win series... however,Boston is one of those teams who have done just that,against Montreal,this playoff season,in opening round... the pundits say the series really starts,when a team loses a game,at home,and both teams now go back to Boston,for next two games... can Boston win both games,at home,to force a best of three series of games for the Stanley Cup? Boston has not played badly,but Thomas has broken down,at critical times,in both games,to allow Vancouver,to basically steal both games...
