In honor of RudyKelly teaching us how not to play a 2-on-1, I figure now is a great time to look at how not to play defense. The Bruins second goal could be considered a 3-on-2 goal, but a more accurate description would be a 2-on-2. Miroslav Satan made the score 2-1 Boston with his…
I know, I know. That headline was way too easy. But…so was this series. Danny Briere scored the game winning goal all of 3:16 into the game, an extremely pretty French connection on a spinaround pass from Claude Giroux. Not content to let Briere have all the fun, Giroux added two goals of his own…

It’s incredible, isn’t it? Brian Boucher goes down to injury, Michael Leighton steps in, the Flyers go on to win Game 5 in dominating fashion, and somehow, someway, our confidence is at an all-time high in this series with the Bruins. Really, truly incredible. This week on BSH Radio, Ben, Geoff and I discuss the…
