"But I usually come down the same way on the right side and cut middle and I kind of base it off where the goalie is positioned - shoot it, pull it backhand, pull it forehand. I base my read off of their position. I thought that I was coming in, he was favoring the blocker side and that's why I went glove and it just nicked a piece of it."
"In my mind, I'm thinking if I score, this building is going to blow up. I know I might never have many opportunities like that again so I was fired up."
Marco Sturm surprised the Garden by selecting stay-at-home defenseman Andrew Peeke for a critical shootout attempt. Peeke scored the tying goal late in the third period, securing a point for the Bruins in a tight Eastern Conference race. Peeke approached the shootout with a planned strategy, typically coming down the right side, cutting to the middle and reading the goaltender's position to decide shoot, backhand or forehand. Kevin Lankinen stopped Peeke's first professional shootout try when a glove-side effort nicked the goalie and stayed out. Vancouver won the shootout in the seventh round.
