I posted this over in the 'History of Hockey' board a few weeks ago but here is video from a playoff game in 1971 that changed history.
Game 2 of the first round of the 1971 playoffs, the Bruins were shelling rookie Ken Dryden and had a 5-1 lead in the second period after winning Game 1. If the Bruins don't blow the lead in this game would Al MacNeil stayed with Dryden in Game 3?
MacNeil knew he was going to be replaced after the season as the francophone players resented him ( even winning the Cup couldn't save his job )
Incredibly CBC ERASED their copies of this game but WSBK-TV in Boston kept the highlight show.
I believe this is Montreal's greatest comeback ever ( and I am a Bruins fan )
