Bruins Show Weakness In New York, Come Back With Win In Toronto
The Bruins showed a bit of weakness in New York on Saturday the 15th, playing the Eastern conference's best team. Boston took a lead in the game easily but during the third period they shut down. Boston got a little too carried away with the two goal lead and and gave up a goal on a break away. The tying goal came late in the third with about 56 seconds left to bring the game into overtime.
The game stayed tied during the five minutes and came down to a shootout. Boston is not very good on the shootout, only one shootout win this year. This caused them to give up the game, losing by one goal. They took a point out of New York but they would've liked to take a win.
So the mark of a loss struck Boston's nearly flawless record, but they came back tonight against the Leafs.
A really well skated game. Great passing on both sides, and great stick handling. Boston took a first period two nothing lead. Those goals being a slow shot by Kessel ...
