Game 4 Recap

This was one of those games where it was a grinder, it wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t always entertaining, but that’s how the Bruins want it. Adam McQuaid’s improbable goal was all that was needed for Tuukka Rask and the stupendous Boston Bruins defense to close out the highest scoring team in the NHL over the last 2 seasons. Zdeno Chara’s incredible save on Evgeni Malkin in the closing seconds was the icing on the cake. It was an ugly, almost mundane game at times and you could sense Pittsburgh wearing away. All I can say about Jerome Iginla is, sweet decision and I hear Pittsburgh has some really nice golf courses.

The Bruins, in consecutive series, beat a team that has blocked the most shots in the NHL, in the Rangers, and the highest scoring team in the NHL in Pittsburgh. Two teams with contrasting styles that require two completely different strategies. The Bruins are the most versatile team remaining in the playoffs. They can win games the way their opponents want the game to be played, and are exceptional at playing their own style of hockey which I call Bruins Hockey. The sky is the limit for this team and I am looking forward to enjoying the ride.
