Tuukka faced 22 shots all night, but stood on his head for half of them.  3 Stars: Rask, Bergeron, Miller

Rask was a beast. Big props to the 4th line and the fill ins tonight. They worked hard. Florek's fifteen second puck battle in the last 7 minutes epitomizes their gritty play tonight. Just tough, toughest when they needed it most.

Nice win, and thanks to Bergy for grabbing that EN right before the fire alarm in my building went off and sent me down 6 flights of stairs.

There are always underdog "teams nobody wants to face" in the playoffs, but when the B's impose their will they are quite literally the team nobody wants to face. Most just aren't equipped for the combination of physicality, tenacity, and relentlessness all combined with elite three zone skill and team cohesion.

Plus a grade A stud in net.

Terrific win. The Bruins did a great job of keeping the Wings away from the net for the most part and having to generate offense from the outskirts of the zone. There were plenty of odd man counters that I wish they capitalized, but a shutout in a game that turns everything our way? I'll take it for sure. Push them to the brink Thursday, close it out Saturday afternoon.
