Here’s the NHL highlight video of last night’s game. Give it a look.
Notice anything funny about that video? Anything out of the ordinary?
I did. It’s almost all Bruins highlights. The Blackhawks highlights are few and far between? Why is that?
It’s because the Bruins pretty much owned that game last night. The Bruins got goals from Paille, again, and Bergeron, again. Allow me to jump on a bandwagon and start calling Dan Paille by his new (censored) nickname:
Yippee Paille, muthaf*cker. Heh heh, Die Hard meets Bruins. Some how it fits.
The Bruins now have a two games to one lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. Far be it from me to start feeling anything more than cautious optimism. This is far, far from over. Chicago is a fantastic team. Don’t count them out. Even though they threw the best they possibly could at the Bruins in game two and still ended up losing, and then came out in game three and seemed to play as if they were constantly hearing footsteps behind them. The Blackhawks are not done. Not by a long shot.
Boston is two wins away. Two painfully difficult wins that we should not assume are ours for the taking. No. There is huge work left to be done by our heroic Bruins, but they are definitely up to the challenge.
Game four is tomorrow night in Boston.
Go Bruins!
