Tough game for the Bruins today, but I have to say it was one of the more exciting 3rd periods I have ever seen. Boston was down 2-1 going into the 3rd, but were able to battle back by scoring 2 goals in 19 seconds. It was insane, the Bruins looked unstoppable, they even added another goal when Chara scored with 3:05 left in the game. The good times did not last though, as the Bruins were just out played in the last two minutes of the game. The Blues started their comeback with David Perron's power-play goal with 1:20 left. Still, the Bruins seemed to be in control, but with 1.4 secs left in the game, David Backes was able to get his stick on the puck while it was in the air and slap it past Thomas. It was heart breaking, and even had to be reviewed, since it was really close to being above the crossbar. It was not overturned (though I think it should have been).
The game went into overtime, and the Bruins eventually lost in a shootout. I really think the Bruins are starting to show some cracks with all their injuries. There are just too many guys out right now, that they are going to have a hard to keeping up their pace. What you have to hope though, is that when they are healthy again, they will be able to find that same stride that had earlier in the season.
