That made it 3-1 Bruins. Then Andrew Shaw finds Dave Bolland and Bolland puts it past Tuukka Rask! That cuts the lead to 1, 3-2 Bruins. Same score, less than 10 minutes left in the 3rd period and OHNNY ODUYA!!!!! Long shot and the GOAL! Rask had no chance and we are tied at 3. 1st overtime, Tyler Seguin shoots but is blocked by Crawford. Then Chris Bourque  shoots but the shot is saved. Then Sequin’s shot is blocked AGAIN! 2nd OT now MICHAEL FROLIK! Shot just barley goes over the net. Less than 10 seconds left in the 2nd OT, powerplay for the Bruins and Zdeno Chara long shot, misses. we are going to a 3rd OT. 3rd overtime now and Sequin, backhand for the win… blocked by Crawford. But hey, this game has got to end sometime right? Andrew Shaw thinks so so he puts the puck in the back of the net and the Blackhawks win 4-3 in 3OT. 112 minutes of play in this game.
