agreed, and the goal was a large part the fault of Hannikainen.
Baloney. Krejci was the third Bruin to enter the zone when he wired that puck in. There were already four Jackets there. There is no sense in which that is Hannikainen's man. He's the last coming back from the forecheck, which is typically for him as the lead forechecker. You give him crap if a Bruins defenseman gets in before him, not if the Bruins center does.
This was just a case of the puck coming down out of the air and the Jackets, including Bob, not seeing it in time. The puck landed right in Krejci's wheelhouse. Bad luck.
------------------------------------------------------
I spotted two pucks that got on Rask's net from in close because of takeaways by Hannikainen behind the net. That's what he does. It might not sound like much but we have been needing steals like that all series.
My only gripe is that we didn't see that line more, Torts only gave them 4 and a half minutes. And of course the team was out of gas in the third.
Hannikainen's unit spent every shift in the Bruins zone, a lot of it behind the Bruins net. They had two very good chances. There was only one shot against with Hannikainen out there, it happened to go in. The expected goals stats can be misleading but you can infer from it that they dominated, their chances had a much better chance of going in than the Bruins chance, goaltending and luck aside.
