Everybody says you need to save your best for last. That’s exactly been the case for the Boston Bruins this season.
Stop me if this sounds familiar. The Bruins start a game slow and end up behind or tied in the third period against an inferior team. Then, out of nowhere, they explode for a couple goals to win the game.
This happened Tuesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes. After 50 minutes of relatively boring hockey, Boston and Carolina remained scoreless. As we crept deeper and deeper into the third period, a 1-0 overtime result appeared inevitable.
