COLUMBUS — Not a day goes by in the Bruins-Blue Jackets Eastern Conference semifinal when the conversation isn’t dominated by power plays and penalty killing units.The Blue Jackets hold a 2-1 series lead after Tuesday’s 2-1 victory at an absolutely wild Nationwide Arena because of more outstanding goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 35 saves. He also received some help from his best friends, as Bruins Charlie McAvoy, Noel Acciari and Brandon Carlo all hit pipes.
Momentum was heaped on the Blue Jackets side. Five minutes after the kill, Boone Jenner showed how he’s one of the best fourth-line centres in the league, swerving through the slot by rookie defenceman Connor Clifton and sliding a shot that had Tuukka Rask going the other way.As good as the Blue Jackets penalty killers were, their power play was better with an opportunity at the midway mark of the second.
The call on the ice was no goal, but after a lengthy review it was ruled the puck had crossed the line in a fluid motion of the play. Suddenly, we had a game again going into the third.As far as coaches go, Bruce Cassidy is open and honest and will usually do his best to work with the media guy trying to put together a story.Respected Boston Globe veteran Kevin Paul Dupont was working on an early column about Cam Atkinson and other small players in the NHL.
Speaking Tuesday morning to reporters for the first time since the hit, Nash admitted he was caught off guard because Chara was “kind of hiding behind a couple of guys that were going up ice.” How a 6-foot-9, 250-pound building of a man hides behind anybody is another matter. Said the smart aleck: You were in that room the last two seasons. Would the players in it look for retribution?
