Bruins holding a 21-19 shot advantage. Adam McQuaid not looking very trustworthy.

Adam McQuaid off for interference on Danny Briere. Two stupid penalties by McQuaid.

Dominant first period for the Bruins, who hold a 15-8 shot advantage. Optimism is tempered, however, by injuries to Marco Sturm and Vladimir Sobotka.

Adam McQuaid steps in front of a Danny Briere slapper to snuff out a scoring chance.
