Game 15 Recap: BRUINS 1 BLACKHAWKS 1 SO WIN!

First of all, solid post by Here Come the Bruins! about hits from behind, and how the NHL lets it happen.

Game Recap:
A thrilling, heart-attack-causing game. If the Bs are going to keep playing games like this, I should really be watching my cholesterol more closely.
NHL.tv decides to take the NESN feed for this one.

First period we kill 4 penalties, Chara knocks some guy down, Bulin checks a Bruin and then Thornton fights a dude, gets a misconduct. Otherwise not much going on.

Second period is more scoreless time, until Savard gets a breakaway, which doesn't pass Bulin. Little does chicago know, this is just how Savard plays dump-and-chase. Bs move it around.

That's why we call him THE GERMAN!

Third period, more of the same, Thomas wants to help Kane grow a beard. Kane to Toews, five-hole redirect. 1-1.
STURM SCORES! Oh wait, looks like a Bruin was standing on bulin. No-call interference. Still 1-1.
Crap. OT. Last time we won one of these against the Blackhawks was 1934. Dit Clapper's ghost better be watching.
Some good shots, and then Sharp on a breakaway...Ward trips him, penalty shot.

SAVE.
That's the best you can do?
Ward nearly buries it with 11 seconds to go, nothing doing.
Shootout.
Toews snaps one. Thomas shrugs at the weak showing. Save.
Wheeler exudes a quiet confidence. Goal.
Kane puts Thomas on his back. Goal.
Kessel's ugly mug doesn't scare the wall. Save.
Dave "Who?" Bolland tries something, Thomas is not amused. Save.
P.J. Axelsson fed Clapper on the last OT win in '34, decides it's about time for another.

GOAL.
WIN.
Record: 9-3-3
Away Record: 5-2-2
L10: 7-2-1
Streak: W4
GO BRUINS!
