On the right and prop on the left and working it out over the line comes Thomas moves for shot the save by Moog and the Bruins have to do better checking than that as Thomas really walked in a great individual effort by Thomas and that we don’t want to see now

I think the Bruin the key to this game is I think they get better expect to be hit and hit hard and often discipline stay out of the box Chicago go tending suspect get some shots on them take the crowd out of this game and to do that

You got to be skating and you’ve got to be scoring they really won the face off yesterday and ping won another one there and here’s a three on two in the middle po the shot the save PO and Troy Murray winding up for penetrates keeps it in Doug Wilson

The power play clear cut y a shot K wide by m and deflected into the stands it is a bagard Andy Moog here at the start how important is a goal tener to your Hockey Club you just really there’s no doubt in my mind they should be the highest paid

Of all of them they can do the job in day and day out right here Nan coming in gets loose on Moi kind of just pokes it away then he’s got to respond to Nan turning the net does that well but two slap shots in the slot earlier the left

Leg and the right leg all it’s a one nothing hockey game at this point and then things start to pile up on you Roa comes back out so the two local boys are very prominent in the Chicago attack Jeremy Rona rookie Brian n called up from their farm team hurry was the

Muray moved in Chicago on the power play all over the Bruins and this was set up by a a tremendous play by Jeremy ronic very cute he slid it into the man in the corner goes out front Sweeny takes ronic down the backhand Mo gets to see yes

Seconds great play by Bobby Carpenter he just ran right at Murray expected Murray to haul him down and he did Murray had no idea the puck was just behind himing and he knew he couldn’t get to it so I’m going to take Carpenter then he takes hand off the stick turns him

Around Bob Sweeney dumped by Bob Murray Bob Carpenter 13 seconds left on Peterson’s penalty so each team short a man for the 13 seconds then the Bruins go on a power play seven shots Chicago one for Boston this they take a little time to P him up here and
