The Boston Bruins have pushed the New York
Rangers to the brink of
elimination, with a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers, Tuesday night at
Madison Square Garden. The Bruins erased a 1-0 Rangers lead in the third period
with goals from Johnny Boychuk and Daniel Paille.
I
don’t know how you could describe Paille’s miraculous goal, the goal came off a
goofy rebound that should have found its way into the net, but had eyes.
Seriously, you have to see this goal to believe it. The puck that was shot by Gregory Campbell looked like it came off
the face of a sand wedge and had some serious back-spin on it. If I was going
to describe it, the puck’s movement looked more like Titleist Pro V1 golf than
a hockey puck. The puck was going towards the goal line – hit the goal line and
spun back like it was hit by Tiger Woods. The puck never broke the plane until
Paille put the puck past Henrik
Lundqvist on the rebound, for the
game winning goal.
I
know some people are sick of hearing about the fourth line, but you can see
that the Merlot line had the majority of the points for the Boston Bruins
tonight, Shawn Thornton (0g-2a—2pts), Gregory Campbell (0g-1a—1pts), Daniel
Paille (1g-1a—2pts). Boston Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk also got his
fourth goal of the playoffs tonight as well.
New Drinking game. Everytime Pierre McGuire mentions the Bruins fourth line drink a beer, you will not be sober by the end of the game.
