NY overcame a 3-2 series deficit, and closed out the Senators, 2-1, in Game 7 at The Garden on goals by defensemen Marc Staal and Dan Girardi. "So he didn't see the ice after that last one". It used up all of the Bs' momentum, giving Ottawa the chance to plow into the lead to start the second. Cassidy has been with the organization a long time, going on eight seasons, and has certainly paid his dues. Before joining the group hug, Ryan fetched the souvenir puck for his good buddy to remember what should be the new biggest goal of his life.
Justin Williams, the overtime hero Friday, anticipated a seven-game series but now hopes that's not needed. The game will likely take place towards the end of the upcoming week. Who completes that pass, let alone thinks to attempt it? "A lot of young guys got their feet wet here and are going to come back and be impact players even more next year and I'm looking forward to that". Now it turns out the feat was even more impressive than at first glance because Karlsson has been playing through multiple hairline fractures in his left foot, per ESPN's Joe McDonald. The plane he won't play her accomplishments and goals for us. Ryan's tough off-season gave way to a hard regular season, too. That was a wicked shot by Turris that ended his scoring slump at nine games, a goal that put the Senators in front 2-1. Assuming that the extra edge in shots taken was largely gained by Boston's large collection of penalties, it's easy to see where the Bruins could have given themselves an extra advantage and tipped the series in their favor. MacArthur would have had the game winning assist had Bobby Ryan's swing at the floating rebound not missed.
GOALTENDING: It's been a hard season away from the ice for goaltender Craig Anderson, as he and his family continue to cope with his wife Nicholle's battle with cancer. The day after the announcement, though, Anderson was back in the Senators' crease, posting a 37-save shutout of the Edmonton Oilers in the lead up to one of the most emotional scenes of the season. However, upon his return, Anderson didn't look as if he'd missed a beat.
When Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney was elevated from Assistant GM in May of 2015, he believed that the only way to make Boston a Stanley Cup contender was to bring up players from their American Hockey League affiliate in Providence and watch them learn the NHL game with on-the-job-training. It's no surprise that has continued into the playoffs, either.
Trump Lashes out After Judge Blocks His Sanctuary Cities Order
And, unlike some of his positions, Trump will likely get considerable backing from Republicans in Congress on this court ruling. The White House called the San Francisco judge's ruling a "gift to the criminal gang and cartel element in our country".
Clarke MacArthur spent nearly two full seasons recovering from a concussion, wondering if he would ever be able to return to the Senators. While there is no doubt the star winger will play, he took a nasty low hit from Nazem Kadri that really should have been called a major clipping penalty. It's not as if MacArthur has simply been along for the ride since. But MacArthur's encore was miles better than anyone could have expected. He skated in four of the six playoff games versus the Senators and all he did was score two goals in Game 5 - with the Bruins trailing the series three games to one - his second goal being the game-winner in the contest's second overtime. His recovery, return and performance in the first round have all been inspirational.
"We didn't work all year just to sit back and hope things turn our way", Boucher said. You would have liked another game or round of experience for numerous B's young pieces, but you're nuts if you don't walk away from this series with a positive outlook given the sneak peek at a guy like Charlie McAvoy. "It's different during the regular season", Boucher said.
MacArthur said Sunday's win helped erase "some nightmares" he experienced when he was with the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 4-1 lead and lost a Game 7 to the Bruins in 2013.
