That's all fine and good to say. If you've been watching these games, then you know how outstanding Ward has been, and how well Carolina has capitalized on their opportunities.
Previously it was the shorthanded goal (game two). In game 3 it was taking advantage after Boston missed 4-5 solid overtime chances (including a breakaway), with a rebound (Carolina's other goals in that game happened when a Boston defender fell in the neutral zone, and when another Bruin defender whiffed on a clearance, allowing Stall to capitalize). Tonight it was goal 2 on the powerplay (which was a fucking BRUTAL call on Chara, but I digress)... rebounds, rebounds, rebounds. This team scores ugly, and wins. My team needs more speed on defense (actually BOTH of them do...HA)... Ward, and Hnidy are killing us. Montador hasn't been good. Man, do we miss Ference.
They have outworked my team pure and simple. Sticks in passing lanes, blocking shots, and getting a TON of garbage goals - loads of shots at the net, with great traffic in front. Samsonov is back for revenge, and he's killing us (he did score a beauty tonight, that's for sure - the fourth by Stall was pretty nice as well).
That's playoff hockey, and my team would do well to take note. As I said before, this team is going to be quality for awhile.
Despite the fact that we're down, I've seen my team lose a 3-1 lead, so I'm not ready to concede this series yet. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
