Canucks vs. Bruins Scoring Chances - Game 6

by Derek Zona on Jun 13, 2011 11:15 PM MDT in Game Reports

Six shots from the scoring chance area. That's all the Bruins managed to put on goal in game five. Game six was a completely different story. The shot charts show just how badly the Bruins swamped the Canucks' defense and their goaltenders.

Johnny Boychuk comes home and moves back into the plus column. It's amazing what the last change does for the Boychuk-Ference pairing. The fourth line played their best game of the playoffs.

Tonight it was all about Kevin Bieksa. The Canucks rode him like a pack mule and he was on the ice for more than half of the games' total chances.

The Sedins beat Krejci. Again. Krejci beat Kesler. Again. Somehow, Campbell's line beat everyone. It's the Stanley Cup miracle.

Canucks chances

Not sure – but Edlers and Henriks PP ice time look a little out considering the number of chances they had – otherwise its great to see this amount of analysis so soon after the game

Just saw the first period – had no doubt that was the game

This is the weirdest series. Home ice advantage is one thing, but this is just ridiculous.

by melancholyculkin on Jun 14, 2011 2:17 AM MDT reply actions

More ridiculous than the constant diving?

If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!

I’d say so. Someone linked to an article that involves a comparison between this series and that ridiculous Pirates-Yankees series (Pirates outscored something like 55-18 but won series in 7), even though Vancouver is the better team.

If I reference a lot of stats, just assume I haven't seen anything to contradict or invalidate them.

Yeah, I pulled out that 1960 World Series comp myself yesterday. Cumulative score was 55-27 Yankees, but Pirates won four close ones while the Yanks won by 10-0, 12-0 and 16-3.

Vancouver is the better team.

Really?
