Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 3179919, member: 2920"] In this series between these two teams, it's almost as if the road team holds a slight advantage. When these two teams are at home, they tend to play over their heads and try to make pretty passes instead of just getting pucks to the net. Bruins' 2nd goal was a great illustration of the rewards that come from getting pucks to the net instead of looking to make a pretty pass. The Bruins fell victim of over-passing in game 5 and the Blues followed suit in game 6. Meanwhile, the road teams have all played great "road games": physical, tenacious forecheck, and simple scoring chance plays in the offensive third. Bitter Whaler fan aside: I do appreciate that the Bruins 3 wins have all been by big enough margins that I can safely turn the channel away from the game to pout and not worry that I'm going to miss a Blues comeback.
