…And the Boston Bruins have emerged victorious once again.
Take a bow, Mr. Ullmark. Take a bow, Mr. Hathaway. At least two highlight reel saves from Ullmark kept this within reach, and a tremendous heads-up tip-in from Hathaway to give the Bruins the win in regulation. I’m very confident they would have won in OT, but why drag it out?
Great teams overcome their mistakes, and the Bruins did that. The Wings were aggressive all day and didn’t let up for a second. When the Bruins finally woke up, they were able to apply their own pressure and crushed it in the second. They were just good enough in the third. Except for Ullmark who was spectacular.
I’d love to know what Montgomery and/or Bergeron said between the first and second period.
EDIT: Forgot to give props to the fourth line. Best line all day.
