This series got off to an unsustainable start that featured 18 goals in the first two games. Boston has used a two-headed goaltending system much of the year looking for the hot hand behind the net between Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask. Thomas has been behind the net during every playoffs game for the Bruins, but as the rounds have gotten deeper, despite the shutout last game, the Bruins are 6-2 to the OVER in their last eight. Tampa Bay has turned up the heat after scoring 2 or fewer in their last game, resulting in a 15-5-2 mark to the OVER in their last 22 in this situation. They are now 7-2 to the OVER in their last nine conference finals games. The OVER is the call.
