Believe In The Note
I just rewatched this game and I think this deserves most underrated important goal. Everyone shrugs off that Sharks series but before we put half their team in the medical ward this series was not looking great.
Blown out in game 1, but they did come out in game 2 with some fight to get a quick goal and then played a pretty even game after it but got another to go up 2-0. Then they made some horrible give aways and in a couple of minutes it was 2-2 and Pietro was -5 in as many periods. Getting the lead back there was crucial especially with hindsight of how game 3 played out.
This team wasn't going to wilt, they were out to break their opponent or get broken and unlike the Sharks, we came back from a loss with an extra gear. The minute the Sharks played that "Hand Goal" s-it was when we started sending their boys to the ER. I HATE the Sharks with a deep passion and I enjoyed every minute of that series. Every. Damn. Minute.
To play the Bruins and avenge a Finals loss almost 50 years ago (that created the most famous and storied image in hockey) ON BRUINS ICE no less, is sweet music to my ears.
