I have to say this, if the Bruins could play consistently, they would be way ahead of the pack in points. The 1st two periods of this game were a trainwreck for the Bruins. Now they're battling the flu, injuries, and a suspended member. They've called so many people up from Providence I'm not sure there's anybody left in Rhode Island. Now this flu. Gregory Campbell looked like shit. His coloring was grey at best.
Then Tuukka let in a goal that was a surprise to everyone. and the Bruins were down by one. Their skating was such that they were turning over the puck right and left. They couldn't get the offensive time needed. Until the third period. They killed off the remainder of the too many men on the ice penalty, and fought like crazy, getting pucks in deep and they had already doubled their shots on goal in the first few minutes of the third than the entire 1st and 2nd put together.
Then the power play came. The Bruins took their time, rotating the puck. Finally Tory Krug saw David Krejci in front of the goal and hammered it in. They tied the game. 1 Minute and 38 seconds later, Reilly Smith brought the puck in to the Flames zone by himself and did a miracle move getting the puck into the net. The Bruins had come from behind and taken the lead! And they held onto that lead for the last few minutes, with Iggy almost scoring on the empty netter.
Speaking of Iggy, what a bizzarre feeling he must have felt tonight, coming home to Calgary, only to find such an overwhelming welcome. And they cheered for him still even though the Bruins won. What an emotional night.
