The Bruins dominated the first 2 periods, but then turned around and let the game slip away in the 3rd. The Bruins had a lot of chances to put the game away, while they were up 2-0, but Henrik Lundqvist made some incredible saves. Chara and Wideman were able to get the two goals by him, but this game could have easily been 5-0 if it wasn't for the play of the Rangers' goalie.
In the 3rd the Bruins seemed to relax a bit, and the Rangers took advantage scoring two goals. The goal that tied it up with was under a min left, and you could just feel the air come out of the Bruins sails. In overtime, the Bruins were horrible, but Thomas was able to keep them alive to force a shootout. God I hate shootouts, and apparently so do the Bruins, as once again they were not able to pull this one out. Chris Dury was the only one to score as both goalies were incredible. Bergeron looked as if he was going to send it into another round of shootouts, but a replay showed that the puck didn't pass the goal line.
If the Bruins had won they would have been one point behind the Rangers in the race for the Eastern Conference lead, but now they are dropped four back (hatred for shootouts growing). Still the Bruins have to be happy that during the last two games they have played the best in the NHL, and have got 3 points to show for it.
