vancouver goal

1) Boston RD hits the puck along the boards.  No idea how it gets to Burrows who's up the middle.  Can't see the puck in any of the replays go from the boards to him.

2) Burrows fakes the slapper and goes wide.  

3) Mistake #1 - Chara goes after Burrows' stick with his stick instead of the body.

4) Mistake #2 - Timmy goes wide and flops like a fish, causing him to get in the way of Chara.  Chara can't go for the body after this point.

5) Lucky bounce - Because Chara hits Burrows' stick, the puck bounces off the endboards and goes directly to the side of the net and in front.

6) Mistake #3 - nobody home to backcheck.  If there was, they could have gotten their stick out to stop the open net goal.

Really, the problems are that Timmy gets in the way of Chara, Chara can't go for the body, and the puck gets a perfect bounce off the boards to the front of the net.  Lucky goal, but perfect execution by Burrows.
