While watching Dice-K struggle through yet another outing (which sucks because he’s on my fantasy team) in which he couldn’t find the strike zone and his pitch count was in the 90’s in the fucking 4th, I got curious as to what Boston’s other team was up to on Sunday night.
So I flipped over to NESN and caught the Bruins tied at one heading with about 15 minutes left in the third period. I watched Tim Thomas save his team’s season time and time again, making saves like he was standing on to of his head. Crazy. I was actually drawn into a hockey game. In my defense, playoff hockey is awesome.
Now that I’m hooked in I couldn’t turn away. So what happened in the overtime. Well, Thomas continued to play like a man possessed while his defense left him out to dry with a complete inability to clear the puck out of their own zone. Then the Canadiens got called for a penalty. Then as Thomas hit the bench, Marc Savard, who just came back from injury, notched the game winning goal.
Holy shit the Bruins won!!!
