The Bruins were looking to finally clinch the Northeast Division once and for all, and they would have with a win over Ottawa, who were playing to get into the 7th seed and avoid Pittsburg. Both teams had something to play for, it would depend on who wanted it more.
The Bruins came out with too many turnovers in their own zone, but the Bruins also had many chances and they could have easily been up 1-0 when Kaspris Daugavens broke through the Ottawa defense but couldn't raise the backhander shot over the goalie's pads. The Senators would score first off of a rebound that came high off Rask, Condra was able to grab it and get it in the empty net. They would go up 2-0 when Cowen scored on a shot from the blue line that got all the way through and past Rask. The Bruins would get back into it, though. They would tie it up 2-2 after Peverly scored with 4 seconds remaining in the 2nd Period and Seidenburg scored 14 seconds into the third period. But, then Ottawa would get the game winner and would then add an empty netter to win 4-2.
Ok, I mean, I just don't know. We are getting chances, a lot of chances. Our problem is finishing. There were plenty of opportunities that a lot of teams wouldn't miss. Now we have to face a Toronto team in it's first playoff series in 9 years. Hungry for a deep playoff run? Yes, they are. But, if we get back on track I think we can take this series, but we have to play better. If we play like this, it doesn't matter who we verse, we would lose. Game 1 is Wednesday at the Garden.
