Game 27 - Penguins 3 Bruins 2: Goal Assessment

Link for Game 27 Thoughts:  The PensNation



+/- Assessment

1st Goal Against (Chara): - for
  • Crosby – too many men penalty: he was the 6th man and easily could have / should have seen Kunitz go on a couple steps before him
  • Martin – fails to retrieve the puck in the corner and then shifts a little high, leaving 2 guys on the crease for Orpik
  • Orpik – doesn’t even attempt to keep Bergeron from screening Fleury

2nd Goal Against (Seguin): - for
  • Cooke – has Bergeron on the crease and releases on his coverage as Bergeron skates behind the net to open himself up for a pass
  • Letang – has Seguin on the crease and releases on his coverage as Seguin goes to provide an outlet for Marchand, then leaves the crease area to go after Bergeron once he receives the pass behind the net
  • Kennedy – is left with coverage on Seguin due to above abandonments by Cooke and Letang, but doesn’t follow Seguin closely or try to tie up his stick

1st Goal For (Kunitz): + for
  • Engelland – gives Letang a passing option and feeds the puck back to him
  • Letang – gives Kunitz a perfect pass to one-time
  • Dupuis – skates the opposite direction of Kunitz to pull Chara completely out of position with him
  • Kunitz – does the forechecking job to retrieve the puck and pass it back to Letang on the point, then gets into shooting position on the other side of the ice and scores on a one-timer

2nd Goal For (Sutter): + for
  • Bennett – carries the puck into the offensive zone and passes it to the left to Neal
  • Neal – pulls the puck to the right to move a defender towards him and then passes it to the left to Sutter with an open shooting lane
  • Sutter – made the initial pass off the boards in the neutral zone to spring Bennett and then took Neal’s pass and shot it past Khudobin

3rd Goal For (Sutter): + for
  • Crosby – forces the defender to drop to the ground to cover a pass on the 2 on 1
  • Sutter – intercepts the puck inside the offensive zone and rips it past Khudobin
