changes of defensemen themselves as they are down to 42. comes along, picks it up and the one to the outside. fires! getting a piece of that was rask. this one is back off and can be played on out to center. bergeron. >> mike: 2-1, and that is one! coming up on the lexus intermission report, our showdown continues. plus a closer look at brad marchand. que coincidental minor penalties. that was it for the first. kane was the only goal. oduya got the assist.

welcome to the lexus inl intermission report. >> perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of this series sits unpredictability. we waited 7 1/2 minutes for someone to find the back of the net in game four. welcome. in a series this tight, mike, you don't want to give away anything for free. in that respect, how is boston leading dangerously. >> chicago couldn't take advantage of boston turning the puck over. but turnovers by boston do not

bode well. they will have to clean this up if they are going stay close in this one i. didn't think they were very sharp at all in the first period. he missed thnet by a lot. breakout here. turnover resulted in odd man rushes. it should be more than 1-0 in my opinion. the hawks will have to take advantage of these turnovers. >> time for our mcdonald's winning ingredient -- one was stopping him and keeping him in his corner. >> it was the theme in the first period.

chara. big effort. chara doesn't like to be hit. i don't think anybody does. chara with a chance here. and again against chara and lucic, a save that wins the battle. here, seidenberg, kane, and they back up their words. that will be an on going story as this game continues. >> up next, we will hear from brad marchand, and how there is just enough success to have another postseason run. >> two overtime games. >> you always want to stay very calm and composed. for our families...

want to be the best for each other in any situation we can come back. >> you are not a wall flower, like to play physical, talk, play on the edge, you are very good at that. >> do those situations fire you up and take you to another level? >> yeah, it gets you going a little bit, gets you emotionally involved in a game. when you are emotionally involved, you play better. your head is in it and you are focused. >> for the first time in 29 years -- >> does the stanley cup run help you in this experience? >> yeah, being up games and down games, it helps. you learn how to win and lose. it plays a big part in these playoffs. >> in this series so far, zero points. how has chicago held him in check? >> they have done a great job ignoring him.

he's showing frustration. he's very good on the fore-check. he has done a great job getting the puck to the net, but they need more of it. he's very good at this. but it's easier to do that when your team is winning. >> the defense of the chicago blackhawks is excellent. for the most part marchand uses his speed to get away and i think he's not using it as effectively and what he's running up here. >> patrick kane has five goals in his last 66 games. chicago leads it 1 407b. -- 1-0. >> you have been watching the lexus intermission report brought to you by -- [ engine revs ] ♪

chicago 1, boston 0. coverage begins as 6:00 eastern on the special edition crossover leading up to game six monday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. taking a different approach is presented by john hancock. >> the chicago blackhawks always want to accelerate the pace.

the relay for patrick sharp. seabrook, the defenseman. invigorates the game. johnny oduya. do you blast it on goal? chicago's different approach, the pace. >> eddie: on the scoreboard i thought it was a pretty even period. for stretches of the period, both teams played to their strength. not a lot of room in the middle of the ice. really tightened up compared to what we saw back in boston in game four where it was just a track meet in the second period.

>> mike: i'm never good at this, but i'm guessing five stitches there. all part of a night's work. we get ready for period number two. what a big house. with the sweeps they have gotten 22,274. there is some standing room that is always sold, and they don't have any empties and haven't had now for the last two years. a lecture being given to krejci and toews. puck dropped. krejci is 0 for 5 and toews is 6 of 7. tuukka rask holds it. crowd gathers. the sea is parted. >> eddie: they want to let bryan

bickell know he's not going to run around and chase zdeno chara. he reads the paper as well as anybody. they are going let him know, not so fast. >> mike: chosen by the new york islanders 17 years ago today out of the slovakian junior league. back to seabrook. shooting one and that one ricochets wide. the drive by keith is blocked. rushed out for milan lucic. lucic able to pull and back in. wristed one that is turned carefully by crawford. >> eddie: michael milbury. >> mike: he was talking this morning about that and the fact they wound up having some tape on him from a practice and they saw enough to draft him. chara pushed one that went off

toews. handzus, down to the ice he goes. and the first minor penalty in the game. >> eddie: i think they got handzus for the dive and horton for the hook. right there. horton on the track, gets the stick in. they don't like thow easily he goes down so it's matching minors. >> mike: eddie olczyk has a theory about this type of penalty call. sitting it horton. also sitting is handzus. that is that the second one is the only one that should count. >> eddie: if you want to eliminate diving, and we have had it for a long time. >> mike: watch this. watch handzus. see him grab his stick?

four-on-four hockey. snapped up by rask. dives are not called frooen frequently. my unofficial count is now five dives in the entire playoffs. it goes as an unsportsmanlike conduct on handzus. and the hooking call on horton. actually, it goes as embellishment, which in the macho world of hockey -- no one wanted to do it. chipped around and swung for at the front of the net. along to bergeron. tucked it back to boychuk. slams it across to ference. to boychuk again. >> there is no miscommunication. bergeron comes off the ice. david krejci, it took him a while to get onto the ice.

>> mike: 45 gone on the coincidental minor penalty. >> eddie: they weren't listening because there were too many players on the ice for a good five or six seconds. >> mike: off seidenberg. jammed one to the front. after he did, he was stood up by seabrook. explained to it chara and then jagr. goes down gently on a collision. with an opening and a shot that is steered wide. seidenberg, just let him see it and close it right up. chara went to work. able to go ahead. jagr to kelly.

jagr. they try to get a great breakout pass by sharp. >> long for bolland. right in the way was kelly. they can't get much further by digging. sent wide. it is bolland bringing it ahead. full strength action for both teams here in the second period. slammed off the defenseman and off the glass. this defenseman is hjalmarsson. chasedstalberg. thornton with a pass. bruins have numbers, but do not have control.

now they do. along to the outside. forced along by peverley and then seabrook went down. pitched back in by soderburg. >> eddie: broken still for stalberg. >> mike: for the first time, able to push it along. not out yet. ten gone in the second period. the bruins started back. seabrook with a lead pass ahead. sent on back. toews shot. save made. affecting moves by rask.

bickell. on to kane. kane stood up there and went down a bit by ference. came back to his feet. ference locked it out. handzus. coming out was crawford to force it away from horton. all of the way back down. that will be an icing. inside the glass here . >> pierre: carl soderburg with a pretty good start. stishgs heard rich peverley call for a chip and he chipped it to him. right here does a real good job keeping the play alive when they figured we shouldn't. bounced wide near chara of the chara delays with an opening and that's when it popped off the stick of krejci and went wide.

bickell ahead. a return. and score! it's kane again! >> eddie: give and go. move the puck, move yourself. watch the quick pass. bickell to toews, right back to him. quick shot, save. puck back to the net. patrick goes upstairs on tuukka rask, second opportunity. >> pierre: look at all of the open ice. good read. that is not a good enough effort from the bruins.

>> mike: toews with an assist. and hossa brings it in. tried to center off the outside. and hanging on is tuukka rask. >> pierre: this is a little different situation. soderburg on the ice. that's a little different. >> eddie: i don't believe we have seen bergeron with that four-on-four, pierre, or that situation happen where the bruins only have three players on the ice for that four-on-four. he was the guy making the change. krejci took him off. something to keep an eye on

here. >> mike: that one thrown at rask at a bad angle and he shoved that one off. buried by seidenberg and there will be a penalty coming up from that. >> eddie: there is dennis seidenberg there. no chance to protect himself. a dangerous hit by seidenberg. and the blackhawks go onto the power play. >> pierre: seidenberg has had a lot of that through this series. hasn't been up against the wall, but i know they talked to the supervisor about that. seidenberg got caught. that's
