Tim Thomas is quite the luxury. This Boston Bruins team isn't like the 1999 Buffalo Sabres who didn't have much offensive talent and chose to pack it in around Dominik Hasek, rather, these Bruins seem to forget about their defensive responsibilities for periods at a time and lean on Thomas to constantly bail them out. The Tampa Bay Lightning have consistently carried the play throughout this season and the story continued last night. Tampa owned the shot counts, the chance counts and possession in a huge way, but Thomas (and a post) kept the Bruins from going down 3-1 on the scoreboard and 3-2 in the series.

I feel like we've slipped into some alternate universe. Marc-Andre Bergeron leads the series in chance differential at +18 (23 CF - 5 CA). He looks good to the eye, but the chances are just crazy. His time has been well-managed by Guy Boucher and Bergeron is responding in a way I didn't think was even possible.

Pierre continues to laud Chara's play against Lecavalier, but in the end, I won't be surprised to see Chara taking the worst of that matchup. Recchi and Marchand struggled against the top of Tampa's lineup.

Krejci's line finally won a matchup, albeit against the bottom of the Tampa roster, but Bergeron's line turned around and lost to the top of Tampa's roster. Marc-Andre Bergeron's line is something else.

Not to say that Smith isn’t playoff calibre goaltending, but clearly he was not the difference Boucher was hoping for. Time to bring back the old man after a couple days of rest. Tampa is generating more quality chances, and Roli has never lost an elimination game. This series will go the distance (I hope).
I think I looked very confused for most of the game watching MAB trying to figure out if that was really the same player that I’d seen play here for a few seasons. The guy just looked unreal out there. This has to be some of the best hockey he’s played.
Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.

He’s been like that for most of this series.

I watched two of the games in the bar and just assumed that it was beer goggles making him look good. Crazy stuff.
