Julien, maybe you should be concerned about what Boucher is saying. Clearly Boucher has figured out how to run an effective power play and Julien is still trying all types of retarded moves. The Bruins PP woes in my opinion are all coaching because they clearly have enough talent to score goals. So Julien this is on you, watch Boucher’s PP, watch the respect Tampa’s players have for him and how intently they listen to him, Julien might learn something.

The power play has multiple problems that all cropped up again last night. For one the dump and chase is totally ridiculous on the power play. How many times can the Bruins dump the puck, watch as Tampa or whomever gets the puck first and just dumps the puck the length of the ice thereby killing another 20 seconds of PP time? They have to get better at their transition game on the PP and get the puck deep, to set up the power play. Tampa is basically giving up the blue line on the PK so the Bruins should take it and just walk the puck in the zone.

Secondly, all this Umbrella formation crap, then putting Chara in front of the net, and all the ideas they keep trying and yet they do not do the one thing that made Tampa’s pp effective as well as most other teams. The answer is simple, get the puck to the half boards forward. He should then drive to the net with the puck thereby drawing one of the defenseman out of the pk box. The half boards forward can then do one of two things, either shoot on net or pass to the forward in front of the net or pass across the seam to the defenseman on the back side for a one timer. Utilizing the half boards forward to start the puck movement on the power play is key because they are the one player that no one in the PK box is assigned to. So if he drives the net or moves the puck up the boards to the point; he is drawing one of the PK players out of position.

Shoot the damn puck when you have the chance. The Bruins too often are looking for the perfect pass / shot. Just shoot the puck on net and crash the net.

The power play needs more movement in the zone. The players without the puck basically are all standing still, move around to get the PK team out of position, just do something.

Finally, the PP has to be better at getting the loose pucks. The PP has an extra player and should never lose a loose puck battle. Send two guys after the puck and use the numbers to your advantage. Basic hockey.

When the game was predominantly five on five the Bruins were dominating. Then all the penalties started being called and the momentum shifted to Tampa. If Game 7 is going to be called like game 6 then Tampa will win. If Game 7 is called looser and the players are allowed to play then the Bruins should win.

Bruins should have taken care of business last night as now there is absolutely no margin for error, Vancouver gets an extra two days off, and Bruins may suffer an injury that could hurt their chances in the finals if they get there.
