skippy the wonder dog Wrote:BUT ... have no fear, next game HNIC will be blabbering on about how the Bruins found their offence and exploded for five goals, yadda, yadda, yadda ...
As predicted, CBC today declares:
"The Boston Bruins turned in a gutsy offensive performance to stay alive in the series in Game 5, using their offence to explode for a 5-1 win."
The facts are not quite as reported, of course. In Game 5, the Bruins had 24 shots, vs the Habs 32; they had 39 shots in Game 2, 31 shots in Game 3, and 27 shots in Game 4. Only in their miserable game 1 outing (18 shots) did they post fewer shots than during their "gutsy offensive performance" of game 5.
However, Price's save percentage in the 3rd period of Game 5 was 0.600.
Perhaps CBC is covering a different series entirely.
