Canucks vs. Bruins Scoring Chances - Game 7

Ding dong! The Witch is dead
Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!
Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead

Wake up, you sleepy-head
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up! The Wicked Witch is dead

She's gone where the goblins go, below
Below, below, yo-ho
Let's open up and sing
And ring the bells out

Ding dong! The merry-oh
Sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!

4v4 chances do do not count as even strength time on ice. See here for an explanation.

Through two, Boston was up 7-5 and then sat on the three-goal lead and the Canucks generated some chances. The opening goal by Patrice Bergeron came off of an offensive zone faceoff win. The Canucks line taking the defensive zone faceoff? Sedin-Sedin-Burrows, the line with one of the most obscene zonestart percentages in the league.

Boston - Best and Worst

Top ES Forward: Patrice Bergeron +2

Bottom ES Forward: Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Rich Peverley -2

Top ES Defenseman: Adam McQuaid +2

Bottom ES Defenseman: Johnny Boychuk -3

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west and Johnny Boychuk is the worst Boston defenseman on the road. Once again, the Krejci line is out-chanced as they have been over the last two series.

Vancouver - Best and Worst

Top ES Forward: Chris Higgins +4

Bottom ES Forward: Alexandre Burrows -2

Top ES Defenseman: Alexander Edler +3

Bottom ES Defenseman: Kevin Bieksa -2

Jannik Hansen combined the worst of Alex Burrows and Raffi Torres with his questionable play and wasn't on the ice for a scoring chance for through two periods. Ryan Kesler was on the ice for 3 of Vancouver's 5 chances through two periods. One Canuck who can hold his head high for his series and this game is Kesler.

Head-to-Head Even Strength Scoring Chances

Bergeron's line ruled the day against the Sedins, especially through two periods. Vancouver's short bench shows in the H2H chances - the bottom two lines weren't getting ice time.

That’s one of the few times in this series that the eye lined up 100% with the stats for me. Except for game 5 where Lou could have laid on his side watching a portable DVD player featuring Captain Lou Albano’s Greatest Hits and still pitched the shutout.

Game 5 was clearly Vancouver’s best game of the series. When I run the recap, I’ll be interested to see how the Sedins did against anyone not named Krejci.
