Game 4 Recap

What a game and what a comeback!!! The Bruins pulled out the win in OT where they found themselves down by 2 goals at one point and came back to win. Tuukka Rask was huge and stole this game for the Bruins.

Detroit had their best period to start and the Bruins had their worst of the series so far. Tuukka Rask stood on his head and made a few ridiculous stops. Even though the Red Wings put on all of their pressure in the first, they were only able to score 1 goal in that dominant period. The Bruins could have had two goals with Marchand missing his first of 2 open nets and Reilly Smith hitting the post. In the second period, the Bruins got their act together and it was a very competitive period with each team netting a goal. The Bruins were in control for most of the third period with Lucic tying the game early in the period. And that momentum carried over into overtime with the Bruins dictating the tempo after successfully wearing down the Red Wings. After Tuukka Rask came up big with a huge stop on Justin Abdelkader, Iginla tipped the Krejci drive home to win it.

Game 5 Preview

I do not expect the Detroit Red Wings to lay down in Game 5 on Saturday. Detroit seemed to pull out all the stops to try and win Game 4 and the Bruins shouldn’t be surprised by anything they will see from Detroit on Saturday. Another solid defensive effort is needed and the Bruins will have the coveted last change to match up against the Zetterberg – Datsyuk line with Chara. Tuukka Rask is feeling it right now and it is hard to bet against the Bruins at this point. The Bruins take this game and series. Hopefully we’ll be getting ready for Montreal next week.
