TALK OF THE TOWN JUNE 18: NHL FINALS (BRUINS-BLACKHAWKS) GAME 3

prior to game series tied 1-1

Boston Bruins: 21-21 on penalty kill in last 6 games

Let’s start, 1st period, 0-0, penalty play for the Blackhawks and Tyler Seguin shoots on the break and…saved by Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford. Then a minute later, Blackhawks still on the power play and Brad Marchand misses the shot on the fast break opportunity! 2nd Period now, Chris Kelly finds Daniel Paille who puts it in  the net for the 2nd time in the NHL Finals! Bruins upn 1-0. Little later, Chris Kelly gets cross-checked to make it a power play for the Bruins. Then Paille gets tripped o make it a 5 on 3 (5 for the Bruins) and that sets up this: Patrice Bergeron, wide open, he gets the puck and puts it past Corey Crawford, that makes it 2-0 Bruins! 3rd Period now, Blackhawks trying to score and Patrick Kane’s shot goes wide of the net! Game stays 2-0 Bruins. Less then a minute left, Bryan Bickell shoots…off the post! Bruins up 2-0 with 10 seconds left, Marchand and Shaw drop gloves and go at it, pointless because it wasn’t like the Blackhawks were going to win. Bruins do win 2-0.
