A tied-at-zero first period was SUPPOSED to yield a more balanced contest.
NOT THIS JUNK.
Highlight of the game. Scroll on if you must.
Patrice Bergeron made a kneeling/spinning/saintly save to keep the game tied at nada.
Danton Heinen took a penalty, so the B’s went to the kill for the middle of the frame.
Brad Marchand and Ryan McDonagh collided near the blue line, sending both off the ice for a bit of a breather. Fortunately, both were uninjured. (McDonagh, however, collided with another Bruins player by accident in the third, which looked like it stung the defenseman).
