Bruins did a great job shutting down the top guys of the 'Hawks...but, as has been the trend lately, the "depth" guys keep grinding out good shifts. Q just kept rolling 4 lines...after Horton went down, Julien only had 3 lines going (he didn't use Thornton much late). Crawford looked really worn down, some of those 3rd OT rebounds were brutal.
The B's allowed a better pace for the game than I was expecting...and also had better jump on the attack...there were some odd man rushes that only heroic Defensive play broke up.
Will be more active on the GDT Saturday...I just got off of work in time to see the GWG!
