Was over my grandparents house for most of the night but did catch the game.
The game was pretty great even though the Bruins didn't win but the biggest problem was how the Bruins were playing for OT while the Canucks wanted the win. They did great in stopping the powerful Canucks powerplay and Kessler/Sedin twins combo but also relaxed a bit too much in the 3rd when the game was too close to start relaxing.
I think at one point late in the 3rd, the Bruins had a 5-7 shot advantage overall and decided to slow down while Canucks took advantage and pelted Thomas with shots and attacks. Chara was gassed from the lack of offense bailing out the defense.
