commentary...
like i said earlier,i now can not figure out the Bruins,as i could not figure out the Blackhawks... this series reminds me of the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs,when Boston played Vancouver(the last time that Boston fell behind 3-2,in games,before winning the last two games,and Stanley)... in that series,Vancouver,and Boston had goaltenders(Bruins' Tim Thomas,and the Canucks' Roberto Luongo),who played like Hall of Fame member,and Montreal Canadiens' legend Ken Dryden,who amazingly won the Conn Smythe Trophy(playoff MVP),BEFORE,winning the Calder Trophy(rookie of the year),in,i believe,1971... (Dryden came up from the minors,with a handful of games left,in 1971,and was entrenched as the number one goaltender,as the Stanley Cup playoffs started that year)... Chicago,and now Boston,have gone cold in their scoring,and the Bruins have been chasing the puck,and their overall team defense have suffered,not badly,but just enough to lose the games,because the Blackhawks have been very good with their passing the puck,and making the Bruins turn over the puck in the neutral zone,shortening the rink by about half,and means that the Blackhawks' potent team offense does not have to go 200 feet,which means trouble for the Bruins,and does not give enough time,for goaltender Tuukka Rask to basically recover his composure,after multiple rushes,by the Blackhawks... even though Rask,and Blackhawks' goaltender Corey Crawford have had games that have been very good,both teams have had trouble scoring goals,in this best of seven series... well,now it is the Bruins' turn to be super in the clutch... well,folks,the Stanley Cup will be in the building,for game six,in Boston,and one question will be answered,in game six,can Boston return the favor,and win,and force game seven in Chicago??? this series has been tight,and both teams could have won this series in less games,if the bounces of the puck went the right way for either team... so,is this series going to be like 2011,or is Chicago going to skate the Stanley Cup around the rink,in Boston??? either team can still win this best of seven series,but momentum is on the Blackhawks' side,but again the same thing was said in 2011,when the Bruins last won the Stanley Cup,that year...
