and now he moves it to Lewis let's move to the middle takes a shot McDonald's third ey Zone ability means he can distribute the puck so well makavo is a key blue liner not just because he defend so well but because he can add additional offense I'm expecting one of these two players to be the biggest impact for their team tonight back to you guys there's the whistle let's get the call from the officials I think you just get all consumed with the play here you're hunting the puck down and you don't even realize you're taking a slashing penalty past KNX got that zone ability and here on the power play a little more open Ice could be what he needs to unleash that offense the Bruins win it picked up along the boards by makoy denies him he got all of it retrieves the puck trying to Kickstart this power play sends a pass over there it is super power play go in the back of the net the Bruins get a little breathing room as they take a one- nothing lead they've worked hard for this goal James there's not been much room on the ice but they're able to get out in front Hamilton's won it takes the feed moves it quickly over to McDonald Hamilton's got him along the wall he almost lost it for a second there but regains control of the puck Boston's moving it up the ice he's only one goal away from his next real achievement you know he'd like to get it here and a smart heads up

defensive Zone they go on the attack through Center drives to the page scores talking about a buzzer beater on that one well now one team will be talking about the momentum gained the other team's going to be talking about how do we respond to giving up this late goal jeez I like this James when the Pucks in their hands they attack and they attack in layers the odd man r is work to Perfection both teams gliding into position and the officials set to drop the puck the Bruins win the face off coped away in the neutral zone by P and with the buzer that puts a bow on the first 20 minutes of

waiting for Bay Bank your team's proud exclusive making partner and we're about set to drop the puck here on period number two looking for that go-ahead goal here as the play is underway in the second one period already in the books Ray how have you seen this thing the Warriors like where they are that's the game's tied they don't like how they got here because they turned the puck over too much in that first period the details were not very good for their liking they'll try and be better here in the second the Bruins take possession in the neutral zone from the point looks to make something happen can't make the connection on the pass Hamilton's got it in their own Zone here they come on the attack down the right wing and into the offensive zone and it takes a shot and he comes up with it Hamilton's got the puck grabbed along the board by McDonald moves the puck from off the bank pass looking to make something happen in the offensive zone Boston's got to hold of it against the wall

half to period left to play it's all tied up Boston's got it in the offensive zone cuts to the paint big Save The Warriors will play it in their own end from the left side they enter the attacking Zone centering pass and he elects not to shoot and will hang on on to the puck came up with a nice save Hamilton's got the puck inside the defensive Zone The Warriors take it across the Blue Line mows it to the middle great defensive play to pick off the pass goes right to the crease the Bruins get a hold of the puck in their own end from along the walls they're gaining momentum and uses his reach to disrupt the play scores well the Bender's going to want to have that one back he put it in himself the Bruins hard work finally pays off with a one-goal lead in a second that was a lot of effort just to get to the lead now you want to stay aggressive so you don't give it back Bells won the draw let's see what they can do with possession number6 and they send it right back to him Boston gain the line and into the Zone lets it go oh excellent play and goal there centers get set as they're ready to drop the puck again and from off the wing he comes up with it with both centers scrummed up here the they come on the attack sends the pass in front and he denies that great opportunity there getting closer to the halfway point of this Frame the Bruins are looking to build on this one-goal lead back underway and they take possession here inside the offensive zone oh look at this brick away oh what a stop on the Breakaway good speed the break ahead of the pack he thinks he's got the goalie beat but shut down that's a great stop sends the pass in front what a chance but that goes off Target off a body in front Hamilton's got the puck along the wall and that's intercepted by makoy Boston's are pretty happy here on the bench with the way that they've played they like the way they're taking the puck away now they want to create some offense the Warriors pick up steam and are on the attack SS it in front and that's deflected off someone in front and we've got it offside with a face off looming another sellout crowd here tonight it's kind of a broken record when we say that these days yeah starting to be the the regular deal here as the team plays well the crowd follows more than half the frame has been played here the Bruins lead it 2-1 in what has been an entertaining game thus far moves it to the middle and that's intercepted Bender covers it up we get a whistle to slow things down both teams are set they're ready to drop the puck the Frozen biscuits dropped and we are back underway here slick feed the Bruins move it ahead takes it to the front they score back to back goals they stay aggressive after getting the first one they pack another one on here Boston's now gone up by a pair in the second so they've got a two- goal lead some people say it's the worst lead in hockey well guess what I'll take the worst lead as opposed to trailing by two yeah you know it's better than down by two being up by two right simple K one possession pass to Pastak here's a chance to make something happen inside the neutral zone Quick Pass to K it's a two-on-one rush Boston's gain possession along the boards picked up along the wall by mapani wrist one in front spectacular stop by the goenda chance right in the middle of the ice and the goenda slides the puck over and he lowers the boom there and now he tries to get it across to manapon grabs the puck at Center pastx got it along the wing drives it to the tree fors the captain delivers Boston's probably not wanting this period to end do they no they're having a great time and this is going to go into the intermission and they'll have a relaxing 18 minutes to think about things and play resumes as the puck has dropped gets the full use of his stick on the Poke check Hamilton's got it in their own Zone moves it to McLoud back at the point they set it up puts it up the post Hamilton shot hits the goal post doesn't go in and if they're ever going to get back in this James they're going to need a couple of bounces here's a shot and that's blocked in traffic the Warriors work it through Center Boston's in transition Puck exits the Zone Hamilton's looking to break out and now it's over to McLoud and he takes the feed poked away at Center by texier here's a short pass to rust oh he had the right idea but couldn't make that play with the pass Hamilton's got the puck in the defensive end the Bruins have it from their own end oh excellent use of the stick as he knocks that one away Hamilton got a hold of it along the wall second period nearly in the books here that's Center rice now he grabs the puck Hamilton's looking to break out of their own end from the left side he moves it up ahead the Bruins cross the line and gain the Zone gives him a whack and the officials are going to call this one and he Sprints to the bench to get the extra attacker out on the ice and the officials will pass the sentence here if the bus doesn't show up this will be the next indignity they're getting pumped tonight and now they're short-handed too well there you go two periods down one more to go at least for now right third period just around the corner tonight proceeds will children play room at City Hospital providing a safe fun environment for kids visiting long-term care patients if you'd like to learn more or to donate please visit our team website welcome back to EA Sports the final frame of this one Hamilton's penalty Killers have their work C out for them here but a nice start to the period as they win the draw steps across the line and on the attack down the right side a CH two front and that goes off a body and a ride moves it to the middle oh and he keeps it here how did he stop that one bang bang play right in the low flot the goalie's on top of it he makes a really astute save here by reading the play well and turning it aside Hoster Kno Rolling Along on his point streak you know he wants it to keep going Bells gliding in for the face off as this penalty kill will continue back underway as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone too much traffic in the lane and he stopped that one nice feed Boston's got the puck along the wall scores he put it in himself he tried to make the save I don't think he where it was Boston's having a lot of fun out there tonight but Ray I can imagine it's a different story on the other side of the bench yeah half the guys out here are having fun the other half this game can't end quick enough seens wins it inside the neutral zone dished on over to McDonald gives him a tack with a stick and the referees don't like it let's get the call here Lewis is going off for two minutes I like this setup they used it earlier in the game where you get everybody on one side of the ice if you can pull the penalty Killers over tight or pull them low now you can get a shot from the point and get traffic to the net more time off the clock as they grab the puck and tries to make a diagonal pass to Bell and he takes the dish texier is going to play it against the half long picked up along the boards by mapani oh and they probably want to redo on that that's just textbook positioning to break up the pl pushes it across to Bell along the half wall with the pock lets it go and that misses and he takes the pass Kemp's got it across the line Hamilton's got the puck shorthanded passes over to texier wholesale changes coming up as they send it in Puck moved over to makoy nice Zone entry on the left side Le preing to get back in they're going to go do you like he's going in here yeah you got to have it happen you can't let one of your best players drop the blows and down he goes pretty much bringing an end to this one yeah he was in control of this fight the entire way well the road team will probably get a lift there their guy did a nice job in that tilt James sski Ray Ferraro with you here in the early going of this period Boston's put on an excellent display of Firepower leading 5-1 play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone I don't believe the coaches are going to be too worried about this they didn't score on the power play but I think it's most important that they didn't give anything up they've got such a nice lead the coaches are more focused on making sure this game plays out comfortably could make the connection on the play takes the puck at the point looks to set up at the point now and a great save left it rip what an opportunity squandered there it's so hard in a game like this you work so hard to get the and all alone passes it in front takes the blast takes the feet at the back end great chance and an even better save save is good better yet that that rebound doesn't stay in front of the net it's over to Safety in the corner on the attack along the boards Let It Go and that's off Target as it hit the body the Warriors have it now moves the puck over to Johnson poked away in the neutral zone by passo official blows the play dead as the puck goes out of bounds here's a CH plenty of playing time left in this Frame 51 is where we sit to this point oh and he takes possession of the puck from off the wing with the centers all locked up there off the draw scooped up along the wall by makoy nice pass here's a shot big stop right there the Bruins gain control of the puck against the wall moves a quick over to Taro chin great pass from the left wing Boston's got control of it now from their own end moves the puck along the half wall takes the shot no room for that one to get through oh boy here's trouble two on one tries to thecase denies him that's an impressive James because at one point the goalie totally loses where the puck is but he stays calm finds it again and then makes the save sends the pass over Johnson's working it around in the corner oh here we go this team knows how to turn it up another gear and they have done that here carries it around and there's a little physicality and they'll skate it out of the Zone here they come on the attack quick slap SC a br go Boston's all true aware there's no mercy rule in hockey they continue to apply the pressure no they're laying a beating on these guys now it may be time to lay back just a bit kace won the draw here in the open Ice tries to dangle and the puck skips away don't mind the idea but it doesn't work now you got a chase sles it over to texier takes the shot Love Save and just enough of it slides it over with Pace to manapon they gain the offensive zone from The Middle shot and he's able to handle that one driving right to the front oh wow that's another great stop really sharp never loses sight of the puck to make the second save slides it across to Kier the Bruins scoop it up along the boards Hamilton's got control of it now here in the offensive end there's the whistle as the puck is frozen up Buffalo's on deck on the schedule how many guys actually know who's looming uh more than half I but you'd be surprised how many people don't know who the next team is on the on the the room oh yeah they just play the game that's in front of them here's a chance and he gets just enough of it to keep it out from the back of the net handles it along the Blue Line too much congestion blocks the shot oh he's going to get cold on that slash quick whistle stops the plane a little bit like a hooking penalty you're not going to get called for slashing if your stick's on the ice the Warriors will have a chance to get on the power play for the first time this evening I scored about 25% of my goals on the power play I made a living on it one of the things if you're on it you better produce or they're going to make changes taken along the wall by dur uinv Boston's going to be able to kill a few seconds off now with the puck handles the pass drives to the sweep spot they'll want to clear the Zone here while they're trying to kill off this penalty and now he moves it to McDonald the Warriors have the puck in the corner the Bruins have it against the wall and the puck departs The Zone takes it across the Blue Line quick feed to seamons can't find his man under siege and finally grabs that one and covers up for a whistle Gavin set the face off dot ready to win this draw on the man Advantage offense is own face off and he wins the draw slides it quickly for ly in all alone on the break away oh what a stop between the pipes he is dialed in the really is James the shooter's in a position to deliver the puck to either side of the net and it's like the goalie has got everything smothered he's right on it can't make it work Boston's going to hold of it against the wall M Japan's up at the Box oh what a stop on the play gets all of it with the paddle cace back to doing what he needs to do and that's playing hockey he's got to generate some chances he had a five minute rest there on his fighting penalty a little earlier Quick Pass to manapon the Bruins gain the Zone waxs it into the offensive zone slides it up ahead from the right wing settles things down and gets control of it once again Hamilton's got a hold of the Pu now now let it to from the back end oh what a save in front great poke check on the reach grabs the puck here's a shot oh what a stop on the play takes the left but still hangs on Puck scooped up by jinv far far KCK handling in his own Zone that's a slash on that play the referee's all over it takes a shot makes the save and he got a Blocker on it good hit on the play Let's see what the official makes for the final decision the frustration is just all over this bench as they take yet another penalty kills any momentum they might have who had the edge in Carlin bab's mind she's standing by with the answer ma boy's been buzzing and he's been rewarded here his name in the Box Score proves he's had a strong night guys nice play short-handed as they get control of the puck passes on over to Thompson right up the gut into the attacking Zone here he is on the back hand he scores what a counter punch shorthanded teams are talking more and more about being aggressive when they're down a man this is the result every once in a while you're going to punch one through short-handed oh what an effort he did everything he could to stop that but he gets beat anyway Hamilton's back at Center Ice they have a long way to go still here though Ray yeah get your scorers out there James don't worry about the defensive end of the ice you need goals and he slides it quickly to kuss skapes to the crease cruss is hauled down the officials arm is up and there's the whistle stopping the play that's a frustrated player taking a frustrated penalty right there there's nothing that has gone their way this evening Boston's got a five on three and lots of time on their side and momentum on their side as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone teas it up from the point just misses not really close with that he got Lots on it but nowhere near the net and he was locked in on that save as play continues Murray's been the one constant tonight start to finish here his save percentage has been terrific offensively they just seem off Boston's got a hold of it along the wall here they come up along the wing oh what a chance here could to make it happen on this two on one oh you nice him with the paddle save and as the final seconds kick away listen to this place recognize a hard earned Victory here he is takes the shot played big in the moment there and this one is all over as the file horn sounds B to happen James You Can't Win Every Game and but like this yeah but a lot of times when the when the wheels come off they're off and this one will go into the
