"Every game is a new game and it's a new story".
Add it all up and it spells big trouble for the Bruins, who Monday night fell into a 2-1 playoff series deficit to Ottawa when the Senators, handed a power play on Riley Nash's retaliatory hit, rubbed out the Bruins, 4-3, on Bobby Ryan's goal with 5:43 gone in overtime.
Game 4 is Wednesday night at TD Garden.
The Bruins lost Game 3 4-3 in overtime and trail the best-of-7 series 2-1.
Game 4 is Wednesday night.
The Bruins lost a defenseman in the first period in four consecutive games, starting with Torey Krug (upper body) and Brandon Carlo (lower body) in the final two games of the regular season.
"I'm ready to go", Miller said.
Continuing this practice on enemy ice Friday night in Game 5 would have the same on-ice effect while also turning the Senators fans' focus from cheering to lustily booing the B's. Interim coach Bruce Cassidy called the call and subsequent results "demoralizing and disappointing". "It was a little bit of fluke play and he made a good read and he saw I had time and I pull something out of my back pocket and it worked out".
He did, and his team, which is severely short-handed on defense, now faces a virtual must-win. All three games so far have been decided in overtime.

After taking a 2-1 advantage with a dramatic 4-3 OT victory on Bobby Ryan's victor in Game 3 Monday night, the Senators were calm, cool and collected as they met with the media at their Boston hotel Tuesday - and they understand the Bruins aren't about to back down just because this series hasn't the way they expected.
In Game 2, Ottawa was fortunate enough to convert on two of their shots from outside the home plate area.
Neither team has appeared willing to give an inch in the offensive zone - and it's not in the Senators' DNA to start taking risks, most definitely not in the playoffs - but something's gotta give. We were lucky to come back the way we did.
"They have some good players, we just have to go tomorrow and execute". Ottawa's Erik Karlsson, Ryan, and Derick Brassard all have four points in the series.
Because of the ravaged rearguards on their roster, both Chara and McAvoy are being asked to play herculean minutes against Ottawa.
"Rest is a weapon", he likes to say. The Senators have now won seven of their last eight meetings with the Bruins. If the Bruins are going to even the series they need more production from Marchand. "We'll have to look at that".
"It's going to be a battle".
No, the Senators weren't ideal by any stretch of the imagination in Game 2 when they erased a two-goal deficit to help set up defenceman Dion Phaneuf's game-winning goal, but they took steps in the right direction and the message from coach Guy Boucher on Sunday was that there are still areas the club needs to work on.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Boston is the clear favorite at home, as the Bruins are getting odds of -170 to win, while the Senators are being given a money line of +150 to win.
