Ryan Miller with a big 'ol goose egg up there. Bruins would love to go up 3-1 but a 2-0 defecit against a world class goalie? 20 minutes left to get it done. Not like Boston hasn't has their chances. 0 for 3 on the power play so far. Role player type guys with the goals for the Sabres. Montador and a diminutive (5'10" 176 lbs.) Buffalo native by the name of Tim Kennedy. Nice to get goals from guys like that with no Vanek.
Boston gets a power play early in the third. Hunwick's shot from the point has eyes and Bergeron screens Miller so good he could have been in his jersey. Krejci bangs home a big fat rebound and make it 2-1.
Boston right back on the power play after Kaleta get whistled for boarding. Boston cannot tie it up here but they are buzzing around the net. They got the home crowd revved up!
Me and my big mouth. Bergeron is having a huge third period and surprises Miller after some fantastic forechecking by Johnny Boychuk. Game tied at 2.
Like you have heard every announcer say before, "Remember that save." Rask makes a huge save. Laying like he was going to catch a line drive in the gap. WOW!!!
Big time pressure by the Bruins during the last minute trying to end it in regulation. Time for the Zambonis to do some work and get the surface ready for OT.
Going to see who Shanny has for his OT winners on Twitter.
OT starts. Tim Connolly for the Sabres and Michael Ryder for the Bruins is who I am going with for the GWG.
Sabres go on the power play early on in the OT as Bergeron chops down Ennis. Connolly rings the dinner bell and then Blake Wheeler gets stoned on a short-handed breakaway. Edge of your seat OT so far. Miller makes an insane stop on Bergeron.
Back and forth we go. A long time without a whistle. What a barnburner.
I may be a hockey nut but the netminders are my favorites to watch. Miller and Rask making all sorts of 10-bell saves with the game on the line. I hope this game goes into double or triple OT so I can watch these 2 put on a clinic.
1 OT in the books. I like the shootout during the regular season but you cannot beat drama like this during the playoffs.
Miller holding down the fort. Boston is all over the Sabres. Lucic almost kills Miller with a slapper from just inside the circle. OUCH!!!
Bad time for Buffalo to take a bench minor for too many men on the ice. Can Miller slam the door and have this game continue?
And the answer is no. Miro Satan pots the GWG off a feed from Ryder. Hey, at least the guy I picked to score gets the primary assist. :-)
WHAT A GAME!!!!
Buffalo is one game away from elmination. That makes 2 high seeds (Devils and Sabres) needing to come back from 3-1 defecits. Can one or both get it done. Stay tuned!
