Bruins – Habs game seven…more madness

Could it be any more excitement in one place? Game 7 of
Boston-Montreal? Les Canadiens playing on hallowed Boston Garden ice
(well almost hallowed)-the new Boston Garden.
On the ice , it was as close-checking as any game 7 could be…The
Bruins ditched Sorokin (who got blasted by the Canadiens last time
out)….Bruin Malkin drew first blood with a tip in of an Ekblad
outside shot….followed of course by Pacioretty with the
equalizer….Now Canadiens go on powerply and it goes wrong as Farabee
picked up TOffoli’s rebound and SCORED….a SHORTIE…and Bs back on
top 2-1 as period 1 ended.
Period 2- NO SCORING…..
Period 3: Petry (why didn’t he play baseball like his dad?) bombed in
a long one and we are tied again in this series (cue the on air ice
man anchor who would have proclaimed that this was the 234th time we
had been tied in this series)…so back and forth we go in the 3rd
period until the veteran Blake WHEELER untied it at 14:10 and shot
the Bruins onto the next round as Markstrom held the fort and the Bs
go on.

Great Team play by Montreal all through the series and a credit to
their fine management team for a wonderful series!

In their home arena Boston won by one goal over Montreal by the final
score of 3 to 2. BLAKE WHEELER netted the last goal, the game winner,
at 14:10 of the 3rd period. Others who scored were MAX PACIORETTY and
JEFF PETRY for Montreal and JOEL FARABEE and EVGENI MALKIN for Boston.
With the victory Boston now has 4 wins and 8 points on the season.
Bruins take game 7!

Game 7. Colorado at New Jersey goes into OVERTIME!!!!!!!

Game 7. Colorado 3 at New Jersey 4. The rubber game of a hard fought series, this game 7 lived up to the hype. Just 20 seconds in Matt Duchene surprised Kuemper with a long shot that handcuffed him and the home crowd was into it early. New Jersey controlled much of the play the rest of the period but it was Jared Spurgeon who would score next, slipping a backhand by Andersen with just 7 seconds left before intermission. Anders Lee would put Colorado ahead at 6:12 of the second period, and the next 3 goals came at about 3-minute intervals: Hertl to tie it 2-2, then Crosby for a 1 goal Devils lead, then Lee again to tie it at 3-3. The Avalanche got going a bit better in the 3rd period and outshot New Jersey but Andersen was sharp. On the other end Kuemper made a spectacular stick save on a Herlt breakaway (1-15), then another on Marchessault with a diving blocker (1-13) to keep it tied. On to Overtime in game 7! Not a long one this time, as just 1:04 in Adam Fox sprung Clayton Keller on a breakaway and he made no mistake. The crowd erupts and New Jersey advances to the 2nd round.

As I said before, this was about as even of a #1 vs. #8 match-up that I’ve ever seen. Great series Kevin!

Matt

Devils force a game seven back home

The Devils are the top seed for a reason.  And they came into Ball Arena to prove just that this evening in game 6 of the series.  
With the Avalanche looking to close and move to the next round, it was Adam Fox who would put the Devils up 1-0 early in the first.   In the later stages of the first period,  Jack Eichel would put the visitors up 2-0 with a quick wrister past Kuemper. Gavikrov would take a penalty with a few seconds left in the first to put the Devils on the PP to begin the second.
Avs kill the penalty only to be assess another, this time Pastrnak goes off for 2 minutes.   Avs kill and get back to even strength for a few shifts when Svechnikov is called for holding.  Avs kill another penalty   Just a Svechnikov returns to the ice, Anders Lee is then called for 2 minutes .   Devils get their 4th consecutive PP.  The Avs kill this one off as weel, but the period is wasted playing 4 on 5 versus the Devils and any attempt to cut into the New Jersey lead has been derailed by the zebras in period two,  The Avs get a PP opportunity late in the scecond but Andersen is up tot he task on a few GR.  To add insult to injury, Nino Neidereitter corrals a loose puck on a bad breakout with seconds to go in the second and beats Kuemper with a blast to make it 3-0 Devils.
The third period begins with Alex the Cat getting the home town fans out of their seats as he scores to cut the lead to 3-1 just over a minute into the period.  The game would open right up and a barrage of shots were exchanged throughout the period but nothing else seemed to find the twine..   Then Auston Matthews would be called for high sticking as Crosby”s head snapped back like he was shot by a sniper.  A lo and behold, it was Sid the Kid who would convert on the power play to make it 4-1 with just over two minutes remaining.  And that would be the final.    
The Devils force a game 7 back in Jersey.  Rumour has it that Coach Roy was visited by a gentleman by the name of Tony Soprano after the game wishing him all the best back in Jersey.
Great series Matt.  Same cm as game 5.  Good luck to you also!

ALEX DeBRINCAT for Colorado.


Habs force a game seven


The Habs have their backs to the wall, as they host the Bruins in Game 6 at the Bell Centre.

 

Prior to the game, Habs columnist Red Fisher asked Coach Pat Burns if Montreal was feeling pressure.

 

Burns said, “Red, there’s no pressure on us.  We are not supposed to win, according to the experts.  They got Connor, Leon, Malkin, true superstars. We got a bunch of grinders and Igor.”

 

The team start out cautiously, no goals in the 1st period.

 

The Habs score 4 goals in the 2nd period, sending Sorokin to the showers, bringing Markstrom off the bench.

 

The Bruins get physical, as they hassle Shesterkin in his crease. Shesterkin responds, giving Ryan Hartman the goal stick to a delicate lower body area, drawing a penalty. The Habs kill off the penalty.

 

Jack Edwards goes wild in the NESN broadcast booth, calling Shesterkin a “lumberjack”.

 

Pacioretty gets a hit trick, as the Habs force the most exciting words in sports, “Game 7”, with a 5-2 victory.

Playoff update

Two series are done, two are close to done:
1. NJD down 3-2 to 8. COL (I just lost game 5)
2. BOS up 3-2 on 7. MON
3. TBL over 6. DAL, 4-2
4. SJS over 5. STL, 4-2
I’d like to have the remaining series done this weekend so we can start round 2 next week. I forgot to set a date to complete round 1, it would have been Sunday night if I had.
Thanks,
Matt

2023 Playoffs. Bruins win an Overtime thriller over arch-rival Habs.

The classic confrontation- MTL vs BOS continues…
Score: MTL 4 BB 5 (OT)
This game was a series of ups and downs for both teams….First Les Canadiens let the Bruins march off to a 3-0 lead….on strength of Okposo’s first of the series ad then a PPG by McDavid and a Wheeler goal….After Wheeler’s goal two breakaways by Montreal defensemen yielded goals and a close game….Giordano and Graves got the Canadien markers….Before Period 2 ended McDavid popped in a rebound to give the Bs the 4-2 edge.

But the ups and downs continued as the Canadiens battled back and tied it up before regulation time ended. Pacioretty (why didn’t Chara demolish him completely when he smooshed him into the boards back in the day?) and then PEST….Devon Toews got the equalizer….4-4 and into OT…The OT ended with a Werenski tap in and the Bs go on to 5-4 win and back to Montreal.

GAME STORY: On their home ice Boston won by one goal over Montreal by the final score of 5 to 4. ZACH WERENSKI netted the last goal, the game winner, at 4:29 of overtime. CONNOR McDAVID had two goals for Boston. Others who scored were MAX PACIORETTY, DEVON TOEWS, MARK GIORDANO and RYAN GRAVES for Montreal and BLAKE WHEELER and KYLE OKPOSO for Boston.

2023 Playoffs. Game 6. Tampa at Dallas

DALLAS-  Game 6….. A lot of the sold-out crowd was still trying to find their seats when Anze Kopitar scored just 23 seconds into the game!  It was Kopitar’s 4th Goal of the series but less than two minutes later, J T Miller got the crowd rocking when he went top shelf on Jarry.  Zach Hyman ripped a shot(1-15) that Stolarz did a windmill save on, snatching the disc & flipping it towards the face-off circle!  The period ended in a 1-1 deadlock,  but again the Bolts strike quick when Alex Ovechkin blows one by Stolarz on the one-timer,  for a 2-1 lead just seconds into period two!
    The Lightning just dominated the middle period with a 17-5 shot advantage & Zach Hyman who was robbed in the opening 20 minutes, gave Tampa a two Goal lead beating Stolarz over the blocker!  Late in the period & 4th liner Tyler Bertuzzi has the bench on their feet cheering, when he goes top shelf on Jarry with 5 seconds left to make it 3-2 entering the 3rd! Penalty- Letang?  A Power-Play for Dallas!   A rare PP for Dallas & Brayden Point ties this contest back up at three apiece!
It stays 3-3 as lots of neutral-zone play, lose to’s etc as time runs out!  It’s Overtime in Game 6.. Right off the bat & Tampa goes on their 5th Power-Play of the night but the Stars kill another.
     Found out why they call it Sudden Death,  just 5 minutes in & a harmless shot(outside rating) by Esa Lindell  & it’s over as the puck trickles by Stolarz & the Tampa bench empties onto the ice in celebration!  Coach Hunter postgame ” After being down 3 games to none, We got a couple of nice Wins & had our chances tonight to force a Game 7 but we just fell short”   Congrats Tim & Good Luck rest of the way.

2023 Playoffs. Games 3 and 4, Montreal smokin hot at home.

Hi All:

 

The Big, Bad Bruins arrive in Montreal for Games 3 and 4.

 

Game 3. Markstrom vs. Shesterkin

 

The Habs come out with all guns blazing in Game 3.  The Habs shooters become snipers, as the buried Markstrom by potting numerous Goal 1-X chances. Markstrom is sent to the showers early, and Sorokin mops up. Meanwhile, Bell Centre is awash in “Igor, Igor” chants, as he turns away all Boston scoring opportunities. It was a case where Montreal played a virtually perfect game, and the excellent Boston team played as poorly as they could, as the Habs shut out the Bruins 7-0.

 

Game 4 Sorokin vs. Shesterkin

 

Boston Coach Harry Sinden got lit up by Jack “Homer” Edwards in the post-game scrum after Game 3. Edwards was nearly in tears on the air, as he labelled the Bruins Game 3 performance as “horrible.” Sinden vows that a different Boston team would show up in Game 4. Sinden was right, a different Boston team showed up, as they played Big, Bad, Bruin physical hockey. Unfortunately for them, zebras Wes McCauley and Kelly Sutherland kept a tight whistle. They called 6 Boston penalties, and the Habs scored 3 PP goals. Edwards was beside himself in the broadcast booth, railing at soft calls against the Bruins. This was not the Bruins only issue in Game 4. Shesterkin was solid again, as he allowed just 2 goals, outdueling a busy Sorokin. The Habs win Game 4 by a score of 4-2, tying the series at 2-2.

 

Games 5 and 6 are on the horizon.

 

Bruins superstar Connor McDavid was angry after Game 4. He said, “It is hard play Montreal, deal with that crowd, and the refs, too. I can’t wait to get back to Boston, and show Montreal who the better team is in Game 5.” When asked about the turnaround, Habs coach Pat Burns said, “That’s hockey, man. We caught some breaks in Games 3 and 4. Boston is a great team, but Igor is standing tall for us. We can play with all those superstars over there.”

 

Our CMI for Game 5 and the Game files for Games 3 and 4 are attached.

Dallas forces a game six back in Texas

Tampa jumps out quick with Pavelski taking a nice feed from Ovy. Muzzin (DAL) takes a penalty late in the 1st, and Kopitar takes advantage, burying his 2nd of this round. Just 2 minutes later, Cam Atkinson cuts the lead in half. 2-1 Tampa Bay after 1. Shots were 11-9 in the period.
30 shots combined in the 2nd, but both Stolarz and Jarry were solid, so still 2-1 Tampa heading into the 3rd.
7 minutes into the 3rd, Timo Meier (DAL) feeds a beauty to JT Miller and he ties it up at 2 with a little over 12 min left in the game.
At 11:55, Kopitar strikes again giving Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead, but Brayden Point counters a little over a minute later to put the Tampa Bay fans on the edge of their seats with 7 minutes remaining.
With 3 min remaining, Jake McCabe and Nick Paul combine to set up Tom Wilson and he converts to give DAL a 4-3 lead, and the Stars hang on for a 4-3 victory, sending the series back to Dallas for game 6, with Tampa leading the series 3-2.
Dallas outshoots Tampa 39-36, and combined GR’s faced were a crazy 25!

STARS OF THE GAME
1st star – J.T. MILLER from Dallas
2nd star – ANZE KOPITAR from Tampa Bay
3rd star – TIMO MEIER from Dallas
