Bruins Storm Back In Third for Win

The Boston Bruins showed some real character tonight against a talented foe in the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins fell behind by two when Crosby netted a power-play goal with just under ten seconds remaining in the second period. It seemed to take the wind right out of the Bruins' sails. The Bruins began the third down 4-2, but got the game back quickly. Nathan Horton netted his 7th goal of the season with a wrist shot whipped into the top right corner, and a mere fifteen seconds later Zdeno Chara knotted the game up on a 3 on 2 offensive zone rush. So as quickly as the game had seemed out of reach, even faster it was back within it. But the bruins were not done yet, they went on to score three more goals, including goals from Blake Wheeler, Milan Lucic and and great go- ahead goal from Shawn Thornton. The bruins dominated the third on both ends of the ice, dismantling a talented team in the Pittsburgh Penguins shutting down big names like Sidney Crosby and Avgeni Malkin. Tim Thomas had another impressive performance although letting in 4 pucks, he faced a season high 46 shots and improving his record to 8-0-0 and an overall record of 8-3-1 this season. The Bruins come back home tomorrow night to take on their Division, the Montreal Canadians at the Garden. Puck the Habs!
