RECAP: Bruins fall to Ottawa in Game 6 OT, 3-2

For this author’s attendance at his first career playoff game - either in fandom or for Stanley Cup of Chowder - the experience could have been better in only one way.

Game 5 hero Sean Kuraly comes out excited, and... immediately fires the puck over the glass, 17 seconds in. The delay of game strategy returns to Bruins hockey. With some early stagnant play, the Bruins iced the puck a handful of times in the first half of the period. They managed to pressure Ottawa in the latter portion and force a few icings the other way.

Rather than take more icing penalties, the Bruins decided to spend more time shorthanded, as Joe Morrow and Colin Miller took back-to-back delay of game penalties in with 7:30 and 4:50 to go, respectively.
