Anthony Travalgia: As he’s done all year, Craig Smith delivers in Game 3 Craig Smith's double OT goal in Game 3 Wednesday gave the Bruins a 2-1 series lead.

Great hustle by Smith.

That was quite a sweet goal by Hall.

And Marchand batting the puck out of the air into the net goes toward atoning for some of his stupid penalties.

that was a major brain fart by Samsonov.. but double ot, mistakes will happen, glad bz capitalized. (see what I did there?)

Bruins seemed to find another gear in OT. WAS was on their heels the majority of the time.

And yeah, the commentators were discussing fatigue and mental breakdowns even before that goal.

Looked like Oven-Chicken was reaming Samsonov out in the open right after the goal. What a D-bag. As a captain he should know you save that for the dressing room. And even then - would not have gone to double-OT without the play of Samsonov.

Real bad look with Ovi yelling at his rookie goalie after a pretty solid performance. A leader of a hockey team isn't yelling at his goalie like that. Period.

Wonder who they start in game 4

As long as it's not Holtby.

Should be Samsonov. He played very well.

From Dowd, to Sammy, Caps are mentally spent. It's all uphill from here.

The way the media has been talking about Smith this year you might think he was found under a rock or dropped out of thin air and just discovered by the Bruins, If anyone took the time to go look at his career you would discover that his numbers this season shouldn't surprise anyone. He has always been a solid and clutch player.

Hopefully they start Ovi in goal and teach him a lesson.

Ovi Is a hair lipped commie! I'm surprised that the league hasnt looked Into his relationship with a murdering dictator that has corrupted U.S. elections.

I am 100% cool with Ovi yelling. This is the playoffs. Put your big boy pants on and play like a professional. Act with a sense of urgency no matter how routine the play is. If you can't handle a little bark a guy like Ovi, you don't deserve to start. I cant remember ever seeing Ovechkin scream like that but I am going to be honest, it fired me up in a great way. I expect the rest of the team to be fired up as well and will respond for game four.

He should have saved it for the dressing room. As a captain he needs to show a bit more composure. Caps were on their heels for majority of OT - it would not even have gone to 2nd OT without Samsonov.

Anthony Deangelo also yelled at his young netminder after an overtime game and his captain punched him in the face. He is currently looking for work. Lambasting your rookie goalie after his first playoff start is legit poor leadership at it's finest.

Goalies are a weird bunch and confidence is pretty important. Maybe it fired you up but I highly doubt it will have a positive effect on Samsonov.

Keep it up Bruins! That 1st rounder from Washington to Detroit needs to be around #20 OA!!

DeAngelo is a turd. He was gonna get punched in the face long before that happened. Ovi is the GOAT. When the GOAT speaks up, everyone listens. I remain optimistic the team will respond for game four. I will not think pessimistically that it will negatively impact Samsonov. IF Samsonov sucks in game four, I will do the walk of shame in my next blog post and I will @ you for credit.

Yeah i hear ya. I'm usually the Bruins optimist around these parts. I just don't understand attacking your own goalie like that... Maybe because i would never dare play net myself. They are in a position where they can botch a game all night long so being yelled at "Dont Sleep, female dog" by your own teammate after a blown play is just not my cup of tea.

Cant wait for game four.

Ovi is the GOAT???? Great for sure but not even close to the GOAT. That’s just my opinion

yeah, there are some that think if Ovi played in Gretzky's era he would have scored more than Wayne. They seem to think he gets to bring all his modern equipment and conditioning with him.

Or that if Wayne played today he'd be exactly the same person from the 80's - equipment and conditioning and all...

Yeah, I could easily name at least a dozen current or former Bruins I would rather have on my team long before Ovi. Great goal scorer, but that's about it.

Would be awesome if the Bruins didn't miss the net so much...

HELL YES BRUINS!!!!
