Burrows Scores OT Winner


Alex Burrows scores the OT winner in Game 2

Here is the breakdown

A. Turnover- Right from the face-off the Bruins make a soft play up the wall and the Caucks turn the puck the other way quickly.

B. Partner Position- Chara gets caught a little wide when his partner (Ference) is against the wall.  This puts him into a position where he has to chase Burrows.  If he is in the middle of the ice where he should  have been he could have played this as a 1 vs 1.

C. Offensive Attack- Seeing the open ice Burrows come across to the puck and quickly goes on offense.  He fakes the slap shot knowing that Thomas will be challenging him and finds a way to out muscle the bigger and stronger Chara to get the puck to the back of the net.  A great goal OT goal by a great player.
