GAME 2 RECAP: BRUINS 7 CANES 2 WHERE WAS THIS IN MAY

This was a pretty huge game. Bruins came out attacking, and you're not getting a very complete recap as a result of too many goals.

First of all, the Fred Cusick tribute video:

Package marked: "c/o dafoomie"

Here's your first:

Savard.
Ryder.
Wheeler.

Savard's was a third chance on a powerplay that Cam Ward had no chance at.

Ryder one-timed a rebound from the slot. On the nhl.tv clip, the carolina announcer was just talking about him when he scoops it in.

Wheeler got his on a 2-on-1 rush.

3 goals in 21 shots. So that was the first period. What a game!

Then your second period:

Begin dumps Aaron Ward on his ass. Conflicting moment, there. Aaron Ward is awesome but so is seeing a hurricane get knocked over. More on that later.

DON'T MIND ME, I'M JUST STURMFACING OVER HERE. Savard picks off a pass around the boards and throws it to Sturm right in front of the net. Sturm puts it in. Delightfully done. Welcome back, Marco!

Caaaaaaaaaam Waaaaaaaaaaaard sits down for the night.

Michael Leighton lets in a powerplay goal from Wideman at the point. Chara has been sneaking in down low recently.

Scott Walker. 5-1.

Begin forechecks the shit out of Andrew Alberts, puts it in front of Leighton and Thornton taps it in.

Not only did they annihilate the Hurricanes on the scoreboard, they also did it on the ice.
At 4:30 of that clip, you watch Thornton casually skate over to Alberts, not even watching the play. A man with purpose, with poise. Then Jack Edwards (bless that man's homer voice) goes off on the fight. Shades of Dallas. And a killer win to boot.

Oh yeah Matt Hunwick scored one too.

Game.

WIN!
7-2

There are 5 Bruins who haven't scored a point (must have played). They are: Krejci, Bitz, Kobasew, Ference, Thomas.

Shawn Thornton still has twice as many fights than goals.

That's more like it.
GO BRUINS!
