Hopefully, we can pull this one out - Massy is going with a 71% estimated win probability for the Bruins, and thanks to my native Chicagoan wife, I had to listen to Blackhawks this and Blackhawks that for most of last night at the Bavarian Inn - even though they are playing the Blues and it has nothing to do with this series. That being said, a win tonight for Detroit would be very, very nice indeed.

Am I crazy, or are there a lot of ways in which 4 on 4 hockey is more pleasant to watch?  Less puck on the boards and more movement.

they are probably refering to a stretch pass which is a 2-line pass. and if you dont know what that is; pass from your own zone that goes over blue and red line. stretch pass is used to open up the neutral zone. think of a deep route in football and then throwing it underneath coverage.
