It might not have been one of the best playoff games ever, but it was certainly one of the most memorable in recent seasons. The Bruins come-from-behind, 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 last night had pretty much everything. Let’s just take this by period, otherwise we’re going to be here all morning.
First Period
On balance, this period followed the series script to date pretty well—the Bruins were slightly out-chanced in the first frame, and the Senators broke through first on a defensive breakdown by the B’s.
With the puck in the Ottawa zone near the left half-boards, Bruins DMan Joe Morrow pinched in to try and keep the puck in.
