That the Presidents’ Trophy does not assure you the Stanley Cup is something that all NHL insiders knowIn fact, since 2013 no team has achieved it, but no one expected that these Boston Bruinsabsolute dominators of the season and who have come to have a 3-1 in the series will end this way. Starting with the same Bruins that after the goal of Carter Verhaeghe, once again he with a decisive goal, in extra time they showed a face closer to disbelief than disappointment, which soon after became present when they were aware of what had happened.

disbelief no, joy in the sector of the Panthers who have known how to live on the edge of the knife and get the best out of themselves to overcome this game and the tie.

Jim Montgomery was looking for a change of course putting the other component of the duo that together with Ullmark have formed the goalkeeper tandem with the fewest goals in the regular season, Jeremy Swayman He started this postseason for the first time as a starter after dropping the performance of his Swedish partner.

The Panthers started holding the first local push well and they even assiduously harassed Swayman’s goal, obtaining the loot of a goal when the numerical superiority expired, the cats warned with a 0-1 signed by Brandon Montourwith which the first third of the game ended.

The notice turned into something else when the forecheck visitor left the Bruins with no way out towards the neutral zone, and that disc ended up reaching Sam Reinhart who doubled the lead with a precise and forceful wrist shot with just over a minute played in the period.

That was the time the Bruins said so far and they began to change the tendency of the party in a progressive way. That step forward would be able to make it profitable with goals in power play by David Krejci that premiered in these playoff in the second period and Todd Bertuzzi more than released with his fifth goal in the first minute of the third. But the tie was not enough and David Pastrnak picked up a long rebound from Bobrovsky before Brandon Carlo’s previous hard shot on the guards of the Russian goalkeeper and established a 3-2 in the absence of just under 16 minutes from the end that brought joy back to the local fans.

a hobby and some Bruins who installed in their advantage watched the minutes go by and the unsuccessful attempts of those from Sunrise to beat Swayman again. But with 59 seconds to go, when Boston was already swimming the last meters to reach the shore of the next tie, Brandon Montour with Florida dunk with six skaters on the ice and Bobrovsky on the bench established the tie That would take the game to extra time.

Extra time of a Game 7, if there is a moment in which epic stories are written, it is one like this, moments in which an action not only resolves the duel of one night, but one of two weeks duration and that moment signed, oh surprise, Carter Verhaeghe with his third decisive goal in a seriespropelling his team before a duel against Toronto Maple Leafs for which few bet at the beginning of the postseason.
