The Bruins didn’t stand a chance tonight. ‘Nuff said.
Luckily, years of pre-Francona Red Sox rooting prepared me well for this.
The B’s are currently riding a decade-high wave of fan support, and want us all to go out and buy season tix for next year while we still feel good about hockey in the Hub. ‘Cause they know we won’t after they trade Bergeron in the off-season.
Another gutsy game last night, probably the best hockey game I’ve ever seen. If you missed it, the Sports of Boston folks have a nice writeup.
Worst moment? Higgins’ re-tying goal eleven seconds after Kessel’s go-ahead.
Best moment? Sturm’s game-winner with under 3:00 to play.
My underdog Bruins forced a game 6 in Boston by winning tonight in Montreal. Suddenly they are playing with heart, and Chara got a goal or two despite the fact that everyone knows about his rib injury now. It didn’t seem to be bothering him, although I’m sure he’s wearing a flak jacket under all that gear to protect himself.
I thought it was all over when Carey Price (OK, how did he survive in hockey? You’d think girly name + approx 12 years old would make for a rough life) made an incredible behind-the-back save in the first period, and I was mentally preparing a blog post to that effect. He subsequently made a costly turn-over and lost his cool to the tune of 5 goals. We can only hope that carries over to Saturday at the Garden. And hopefully no fans will be hurt this time.
We are just recently back from visiting my grandparents in California — a terrific week highlighted by a trip to Yosemite. During the spring the waterfalls are full and the crowds are relatively small: a perfect situation.
