On paper and where it counts, the Boston Bruins took down the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 last night. Everyone else outside of Boston knows this game was 2-2 when things were allowed to get out of hand. Unfortunately for the Canes, things happen and you have to have the ability to respond, and they were unable to do that amidst controversy last night leading to the Bruins taking a one game lead in this best of seven series.
The Good - The First 40
Going in to game one if you said the Canes would be leading by a goal after 40 minutes most fans would have happily taken that.
