Sabres Playoffs 2010

Wild Third Period Ends Great Series

Fittingly, these two teams battled to the very end with each team scoring a pair of goals.

The Buffalo News best describes the emotions in its live blog:

12:42 left: That might be it as the Bruins go up by two on a Krejci tap-in after Lucic simply works over Roy after getting the puck from Myers. 3-1, Boston.

12:20 left: Hold everything. Gerbe gets that one RIGHT BACK on a horrible giveaway from Ryder, who handed the puck right to Gerbe in the slot. 3-2, Boston. His first playoff goal.

5:11 left:  That might it be this time as Satan taps one into an empty net a few seconds after Miller robbed him. It all started after Montador blew a tire behind the net like he did in overtime in that February loss in Carolina. Ugly. 4-2, Boston.

1:13 left: Hold everything II — Vanek puts one home with a one-timer to Rask’s right on a Pominville feed.  4-3, Boston. Think he would have made a difference? MVP in this series was Johnny Appleseed, er, Boychuk for cutting down Vanek in Game Two.

GAME OVER/SEASON OVER: Bruins hold on for 4-3 win. Final shots were 32-30 for Boston.
