Insane Comeback

The Bruins made Boston go crazy last night when they came back from a 3 goal deficit with less than 11 minutes remaining in the third period to win the game and knock the Leafs right out of the playoffs. Matt Bartkowski got the Bruins on the board first when he fired a wrist shot past James Reimer. About 4 minutes later the Leafs would tie it up 1-1 when there was a mad scramble in front of the Bruins net and somehow it got onto the stick of Franson and he was able to put it in. Then, the lone goal in the second period was again Franson, this time he fired a slapshot and it got through because of a screen in front and I don't think Rask ever saw it. Then, once again Phil Kessel scored after he jumped on a rebound. So, it's not 3-1 Toronto, 17:51 remaining in the third period. It's over was what I thought and I wasn't alone with that. Then, about 3 and a half minutes later there was a 2-on-1 and Kadri scored to make it 4-1. By now I'm thinking this is just embarrassing. We had a 3-1 series lead, we scored the first goal and we are about to give it all away. I mean if you thought the Bruins were going to come back raise your hands. Ok, now put your hands down....Liers.

With 10:42 remaining in the game, and possibly the Bruins' season, Nathan Horton scored to make it 4-2. Ehh, ok. It was still a long way to go with not a lot of time left. Then, as we have seen many times, Toronto got a lead then went in a shell and Boston just dominated play. However, it looks like it going to be like all the other games and we would have nothing to show for it. Tick tick tick tick..... (the the clock winding down by the way). With about 2 minutes left, they pulled Rask to get the extra skater. With 1:22 left in the game, Chara fired a slapshot, huge rebound, Lucic jumped on it, 4-3. Wait, whats this? Could this actually happen? Bruins won the face-off, the got it in deep, they pulled Rask again. With Chara as a screen, Bergeron fired a wrist shot and.... he scores!!!!!! Overtime!!!!

In overtime now, Bergeron fired a shot that Reimer couldn't, Seguin was able to get it out to open ice, and it got back to Bergeron and he was able to finish the comeback. Bruins win 5-4, they win the series 4-3, and it's a good night to be a Bruins fan.

This is going down in history as one of the greatest comebacks in Boston sports. They are the first team in NHL history to win a game 7 after being down by 3 goals in the third period. Incredible. Now we have to verse the Rangers, I will make a post later this week about my predictions.
