Game 35 Recap: BRUINS 3 CANES 2 CAN WE CALL 2 GOALS IN 5 MINUTES THE "WHEELER TRICK"?

I missed a lot of this game due to a number of reasons. But here's the highlights:

First Period: Canes score 1. Bruins score 0. Jack Edwards knocks it out of the park:

End of your career, Jack? I'm not so sure.

Second period
Blake Wheeler nearly falls over swiping at the puck in the slot. GOAL.

1-1. You're happy that the Bruins scored, they aren't looking so good.

~Less than 5 minutes later~

Blake Wheeler hits the puck from the corner up to Wideman, who slaps it in. Conn Smythe Trophy-winning Cam Ward makes the save, but the rebound ends up in the opposite direction to where he's lying on the ground. Blake Wheeler makes an understated tap to get it in the GOAL.

2-1. Yeah, we're going to have to start calling that a Wheeler-Trick.

Babchuck rains on everyone's parade.
2-2.

Third period.
Axelsson is framed for a high-sticking, then gets out of the box and gets right back in with another penalty. C'mon, Per-Johan, you're better than that.

7 minutes to go, Savard passes through the whole Carolina bench to Ryder, who one-times it over Cam Ward's shoulder into the GOAL.

3-2. You're wondering if you're going to watch overtime.

1:08 to go. Cam Ward goes to the bench.
Dennis Wideman knocks down a high dump into the Bruins zone, gives it to Savard. Savard sees the open net and passes to Kobasew, who gets it in.
4-2. You're happy Kobasew scored, and that Jack Edwards is making fun of the Carolina fans leaving with 15 seconds left.

GAME.

WIN!
