by Bruins Daily via twitter 5/13/2014 12:33:38 AMThree years ago, David Krejci had one point in seven games against the Habs. He has exactly that through 5 and 1/3 games this year. -
Jeff Pini, Boston.com 5/13/2014 12:34:29 AM#Bruins can only hope this goes how Game 4 did against DET: home team electric early on, crowd going crazy, but then they come back to earth -
Zuri Berry 5/13/2014 12:37:12 AMLars Eller's goal was embarrassing.
Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller failed to clear a puck near Boston's crease, coupled with Tuukka Rask failing to clear the puck, and Eller just swooped in to pot the easy puck just 2:11 into the game.
Montreal leads 1-0, thanks in large part to the mistake. But also because Rask was able to compose himself right away afterward. Just a few minutes later, he made a diving stick save on a shot from Brendan Gallagher that could've put Boston in 2-0 hole.
Rask faced 11 shots in the period, and at one point the Bruins were being outshot 8-3. But as the period came to a close, the Bruins closed the gap to 11-8. Rask was his usual stellar self after allowing Eller's goal.
The Bruins power play appeared to be listless in the first. Canadiens defenseman Mike Weaver was whistled for high sticking, but the Bruins were unable to come up with one shot in two minutes of play.
The Bruins are likely getting an earful from coach Claude Julien in the staff. They had made a point earlier in the day that the team needed to play just as desperate. There's nobody on the Bruins roster right now that can claim they're playing desperate. We'll see if that changes. -
Ccpdsr 5/13/2014 12:37:19 AMWhen is the league going to come down on sub ban for the constant forearm attempts to the heads of players. With Bergies history of concussions that could've been bad. -

Jeff Pini, Boston.com 5/13/2014 12:41:24 AMHuge PK for the #Bruins to start the second period.

by Kevin Paul Dupont, Globe... via twitter 5/13/2014 12:45:36 AMThis is hockey. Back-forth. Skating. Trade chances. Give me this by the 55-gallon drum.

-
Zuri Berry 5/13/2014 12:46:06 AMWell PK Subban has been a naughty boy this game. Another 2 minutes in the box for him. Another PP opportunity for the Bruins.
-
Jeff Pini, Boston.com 5/13/2014 12:46:10 AM#Bruins back to the power play as Subban is called for holding the stick 5:08 into the second.

Zuri Berry 5/13/2014 12:46:27 AMJust in general, Subban is trying to do too much for the Habs. He's not playing smart out there.
-
by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 5/13/2014 12:47:17 AMMontreal playing with good structure, numbers defensively. Bruins have to work harder down low. -

Zuri Berry 5/13/2014 12:52:37 AMBruins in control right now. Making it real tough for Habs to clear the puck.

-
by Bruins Daily via twitter 5/13/2014 12:52:45 AMSwing and a miss by Lucic. Still a great shift from his line. Still don't know how that missed.
-
by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 5/13/2014 12:52:51 AMCrazy zone time for Bruins. Chance quality rising.

-
by Boston Bruins via twitter 5/13/2014 12:53:20 AMBruins with some serious sustained pressure but can't find the back of the net yet... ^CS
-
by Bruins Daily via twitter 5/13/2014 12:54:23 AMThis pace is just unreal right now. Both teams seem to have an extra jump in their step last few minutes, because, playoff hockey.
-
-
by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 5/13/2014 12:55:03 AMBruins were roaring. Then the 4th line played.
-
by Bruins Daily via twitter 5/13/2014 12:55:47 AMFinally, a whistle. What a pace we have. Bruins making a push but Habs hanging on to a 1-0 lead midway through the second #DailyLive
-
Zuri Berry 5/13/2014 12:56:25 AMDisappointing Bruins couldn't come up with a goal there. They were in the Habs' zone for what seemed like an eternity. Lucic's whiff a concern.
-
Jeff Pini, Boston.com 5/13/2014 12:56:29 AMWhat pace over the last few minutes, both teams back and forth up and down the ice. Best zone time the #Bruins have had all night.
