The last 5 minutes of BOS-WAS was great, frantic hockey. Surprisingly clean, it wasn't even as if they were "letting them play".
It's because Washington grew a brain and weren't letting Boston get in their heads with all the post whistle scraps so Boston laid off because they knew they would start getting penalties if they were the only ones being scrappy.
Great game by Washington. Defensive play and discipline weren't as good as game two but they were good and it's obvious that when they play their boring ass game and slow it down Boston gets frustrated. Tim Thomas looked lost in net. They could have had two or three more goals if they had been able to put anything on net.
Worried about Ovie and Semin. They sat most of the 3rd. It could be because the 4th line was playing so well but it seemed like towards the end Ovie had a lane to get a breakaway and he had no gas left in the tank at all.
That shot by Semin was incredible. His play has been amazing. I didn't know he had it in him to hustle as hard as he is.
