Still, a lot of their mistakes weren't from being outplayed, but by being outcompeted. Bruins were harder on pucks and much more focused on winning

This.
I was stunned by how relentless the Bruins in general, and this line in particular, were on the puck. As soon as there's a loose puck, some Bruin is *flying* at it...not just skating to it - they work their butts off. Very impressive.
The way they interfered with the PP was a masterpiece to watch (sadly). No Flame had any time with the puck - and the Flames aren't fast with it at the best of times as they try to shape into some kind of Cameron-esque formation....no time, no space and plenty of sticks in the way. Wow.
And yes, the Flames PK was mostly excellent. Too bad the PP is a pile of poop.
