Then at the other end it seemed a lot easier for Vancouver to clear it from their ice into the neutral zone. Boston couldn't keep it in at the line to keep the momentum going.

Then last night, apart from the last 4 minutes of Canucks pressure. Whenever Vancouver was in a similar situation the roles were reversed. Boston could clear easier (noticed it mostly when Vancouver were supposed to be on the powerplay) Vancouver struggled to get the puck out and it kept falling to Boston players more often.

Maybe that is just me, but it seemed that way the last 2 games atleast. Didn't really notice it in the others but was probably happening then aswell.
