Don't have NESN here in NL but I'm pretty sure all games are on Youtube. I've watched the 1st 4 games on Youtube. Man, we didn't play well vs the Habs. Kaberle was steadier than I remember. He didn't produce points like we wanted but he was pretty solid back there, not a hitter but well positioned and made a really good outlet pass. Anyway, me and my daughter who is a huge Bruins fan now (she was 2 in 2011) are enjoying it. She only knows that the B's win the cup so every game for her is a new experience. She asked me if I remembered who won this game, I laughed, I told her I remember every instance of every game, I told her I could probably predict every offside. It's amazing when you are watching it almost 10 years later and how quickly little events come back to you before they happen. Maybe not the Philly series but the other 3 are etched in the mind.

Honestly, this was one of our signature games from that cup run. Tension was really high and they had to come back from behind to win this in a hostile environment.

The fun part of reliving the 2011 playoffs isn't as much the games themselves, but all the associated memories and stuff surrounding them. I was on Spring Break and back home visiting my family during games 3-5 of the Habs series. I believe this one was a Wednesday or Thursday evening. Good times.

Kaberle actually led the team (tied with Seidenberg) in points by defensemen in the 2011 run. 11 points, all assists.

Ryder this game:

1st goal
Assist on tying goal
Game winning OT goal

That Peverley-Kelly-Ryder line came up huge.

Great timeout by Clode.

Ference should go into Bruins HoF just for that finger to the delusional crowd after his goal.

Eat that losers!

1993 Forever!

The third line was huge this whole run. For as much shit as everybody gave Kelly after he got paid, he was nails for the cup run.

What’s worse the terrible teams we’ve blown 7 game series with or the terrible teams we’ve beat but somehow lost 3 games too.

This Habs team was not good other than Subban.

Sucks going down in this building. Thomas probably should’ve had that one too

Dang, I really miss Nathan Horton. What a cool player. Why did things seem to end so sour here? Don’t get me wrong, not signing him was the right decision.
