Thomas must be that good every game for the Bruins to have a chance at winning. Odds are Nucks won't go 0-5 on the PP again. You can say the Bruins didn't play their best, but Vancouver didn't either. Vancouver's lack of discipline killed their momentum early in the game.
All this talk about Boston being such a great 5 on 5 team..what happened in the third?
The Bruins can hang with Vancouver, no doubt about that but imo, Nucks can be better as well. Only player that cannot on Vancouver is Luongo. The good thing for him is that he doesn't have to be spectacular for the Nucks to win.
Can Thomas really be better? You have to think Boston's PP will screw them over at some point. Boston has not played a team comparable to the Nucks so far these playoffs. The speed and physical style worse the Bruins down in the 3rd. Aside from Chara and Seidenberg, the B's defense was a mess.
Thomas has now only given up 2 goals vs Vancouver in 4 games. That is very impressive. Maybe he does have their number.
Was the Nucks PP that bad tonight or have the Bruins made proper adjustments to know the tendencies of Vancouver on the PP?
Like many of us have said, Thomas and special teams are the two main things that will decide if this is a long or short series and whether or not the Bruins can defeat the Canucks.
Sure as Hell looked like the Bruins competed in this game.
I would'nt still be so cocky because Van barely pulled a game out of their ass on a contraversial play with 19 seconds to go in game one. 
Agree with every word
i watched the games, the bruins easily could be up 2-0 , thats the way hockey is sometimes its a free flowing game with the puck going in all directions , luck was with the canucks in that respect .
the bruins came very close to getting up 3-1 in saturdays game . home team is expected to win their home games , bruins capable winning next 2 ,
this thing is far from over .

Bruins have won 7 out of last 8 playoff games at home , they win tonight . maybe easy.... but a win for sure . and a big game on wednesday ....maybe the bruins dominate both games here , unlike vancover did in their 2 home games . .THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY 7 GAMES .
You maybe right and I don't have a genie bottle on who is going to win, but I have to say this Boston team just looks outclassed. Outside of a bouncing puck and the slider that got under Lu's right pad, this team would have a GOOSE EGG in the first 2 games. Like I said you might be right and they find a way to win the next 2 games at home, but from watching the first 2 it would be hard to put my money on them. On top of that, the oddsmakers might see what ESCAPE sees. They sure dont seem as confident as you. They haven't placed a Boston ML this low at home all year long. Maybe it's to good too be true and you get your "forsure win". Good luck..
This statement is Off on so many levels. Yea, total domination by the nucks
