The Bruins rallied hard to comeback from a one goal deficit against the Lightning at TD Garden Monday night to take a 3-2 series lead. Tim Thomas was nothing short of outstanding, as he came up huge several times late in the game, especially when he threw his paddle down to stop what seemed to be an easy tap in for the Bolts forward to tie the game.
For both teams penalties were a huge problem. The Bruins who took the majority of calls in the first half of the game couldn't seem to stay out of the box, especially Nathan Horton, who had 2 interference calls in a row. Horton did make amends by scoring the game tying goal on a beauty one-timer high in the slot.
In the second half, when Boston was pressing, hungry for the win the Bolts were on their heels and forced to take some chops which got them into some trouble. Definitely a disappointing result for the Florida team. They are going to have to figure out a way to get that power play working, and get even strength goals by getting pucks at the net. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Tampa.
