Nine Goal Thriller Sees Bruins Through
A late goal flurry by the Boston Bruins saw them win an entertaining game 7 clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime at the TD Garden last night. This result now sets up an Eastern Conference semi final clash with the New York Rangers!
The game itself was a titanic back and forth affair, the Bruins started well with Matt Bartowski putting them ahead in the first period. Cody Franson levelled for the Leafs midway through the period and then succeeded in doubling his goal tally early in the second period to give Toronto a 2-1 advantage.
The third period is when the action really kicked into life as the Bruins seemed to fall to pieces as early period goals from Phil Kessel and Nazim Kadri pushed the Leafs even further ahead and appeared to be giving Boston their marching orders. But incredibly this was not the end of the story as Nathan Horton gave them hope midway through and then Milan Lucic reduced the margin to one goal with two minutes to play! But then 1st star Patrice Bergeron slammed home a game tying goal with only 49 seconds on the clocks to lock the scores at 4-4 and send the Bruins fans wild!
With six minutes overtime played, Bergeron beat Reimer to put the Bruins through and send the home fans into a state of ectasy! This kind of game is what the play-offs is all about and we can only hope that the Rangers v Bruins clash is as exciting as this one has been! Hold you heads high Maple Leaf's fans- your boys have done you proud this year!
