Don’t you get the feeling that if someone offered the Bruins an unlimited supply of bread for the rest of their lives, they’d still opt to grow their own wheat and bake it themselves.
The Bruins, especially in the Peter Chiarelli/Claude Julien era, never do anything easy. And so once again they’re headed to a Game 7 with their season on the line for the fourth straight year.
Montreal scored two 5-on-3 goals and Carey Price made 31 saves for a 2-1 Canadiens win in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Bruins at Bell Centre.
The winner-take-all Game 7 is Wednesday night at the TD Garden.
While there was definitely some questionable officiating against the Bruins, there was also a goal inexplicably waved off for Montreal. And the referees had no choice but to call a delay of game when Patrice Bergeron shot the puck over the glass and a too-many-men penalty when the puck hit Adam McQuaid during his attempt to jump back over the boards onto the bench.
Once again, as they did almost all season, the Bruins had numerous chances to score and failed to finish.
Here’s a glance at the box score:
•What’s the difference if the Bruins draw some penalties? Their power play remained pathetic with an 0-for-4 in 4:35 of man-advantage time. The Bruins are now 0-for-19 in the series.
If there was a lemon law in the NHL, the Bruins could get Joe Colborne and their first-round pick back for Tomas Kaberle.
•Milan Lucic received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for his second-period hit from behind on Jaroslav Spacek. Head coach Claude Julien said he was told by the referee that because Spacek was cut, there had to be a five-minute call and a game misconduct.
•Dennis Seidenberg scored the lone Bruins goal. Michael Cammalleri and Brian Gionta found the back of the net for Montreal.
•Tim Thomas finished with 25 saves.
•Nathan Horton finished with no shots on net and David Krejci managed just one. Lucic had no shots on net in his 7:20 of ice time before the ejection. If the Bruins have a first line right now, those three are obviously not on it.










Love my team hate the bad breaks they got but come on guys this is the playoffs !!!
Kaberle wouldn’t shoot the puck in Toronto and he will be the worst lemon ever unloaded by the leafs in Bruin history.Don’t hate the coach he can only play what he is given.
Now get out there tonight and win me a game.!!!
GO BRUINS GO !!!ALL OF EM…
It was a hard one to watch. WTF PP???
What gets me about the early whistle at the beginning of the game is that how does anyone know the bruins skaters stopped skating when they heard the whistle? That wasnt a given that gionta would have been where he was without a whistle. just sayin
Can’t believe none of the major outlets seem to have issue that the refs are having such a major impact on this series, and especially a game 6 elimination game. That just can’t happen.
Price and Subban? Canadien fans should be embarrassed!
0 for 19 pp is killing us!
It took two 5 on 3 for the Habs to score.
We out played them!
We’re in our own barn tonight
GO BRUINS!
I can honestly say Seguin would have been as good as half of the players on this team in this series. They suck as a Team. Not one leader amongst them. Give me 5 Brad Marchands and this series would have been won by the Bruins.
Seidenberg had the lone goal not the loan goal.
Our power play sucks-not sure what is wrong with it but given the personnel changes I blame the coaching. The B’s may win game 7 (although history gives me doubts but I do think the back to back games favors the B’s over the Habs and Lucic will be well rested), but if they do not find a power play that can score they aren’t going to go much further.
Bring on the WWE refs since they will do a better job than we saw tonight!
bruins Looked pretty good tonight, b’s shoulda got this one….Bad break for lucic, Spacek bailed out….Gomez and kaberle stink.
67 for 25…god bless America
You can have Thornton and his two and a half minutes. He’s been a non-factor. You could give anybody three minutes. What’s wrong with the power play? Lack of skill. All you have to do is watch the other teams power play.
That is the worst power play in NHL playoff history. The refs made bad calls both ways. Price had a great game.
Still with the Seguin talk?! Throw him into a game 7? Ha! Yeah, he may score and still end the night as a -1 with 7:00 TOI. I’ll take Thornton.
No Seguin unless the league decides to suspend Looch…….which won’t happen. Seguin is not a 4th line player. The bruins were the better team tonight. It took two 5 on 3 goals to win for the Habs.
for me the fat lady ain’t singing yet. I think dressing Seguin who might score is better than dressing Thornton to sit on the bench. Besides based on the success of your other favorites, Horton, Kelly, Ryder….Seguin’s like a one goal spot from the Habs.
