Here's a quote from Bruins coach Claude Julien that acknowledges their play in the win against the Capitals:
On the Bruins playing sloppy at times…
I think that we had a lot of turnovers and we forced a lot of passes. Obviously it wasn’t our best, but like I often say when I get up here, it’s about finding ways to win and we did that. Obviously we want to get better and hopefully the next couple of days, at tomorrow’s practice, and our morning skate [on Thursday], we will be a little bit sharper.
And an interesting view of Patrice Bergeron's heroic dive to keep the puck in play, leading to the second goal:
On Bergeron sacrificing the body to make an assist…
On that play right there it is not only his risk, but also what happens if he doesn’t get the puck. I thought that we tied the game on a bit of a lucky break. If he doesn’t keep it in then it is a 2-0 situation and instead of tying the game we go down three to one. From his end of it, I think he played without fear. Playing on the wing, he was along the boards a lot tonight. It didn’t seem to bother him. It was nice to see him back, not only for us but also for his teammates.

It's a great hockey moment when the guy dives to keep the puck in the zone.
sure - totally true, esp from a guy that's had some injuries.
but i can see what Julien is saying as well. and he's right. if bergeron missed that puck, semin's got ample room to hit top speed breaking out.
however, no matter in hindsight. semin, and the rest of the caps, lower their heads in shame.
