And I'll buy the winning fan this t-shirt.

The Bruins just scored THREE short-handed goals in a minute and four seconds against the Hurricanes. The first two were 49 seconds apart, and the third came after another 15 seconds. OMFG!!!!

Go Boston! Teach those southerners that hockey belongs where there is ice and snow and not in the subtropics.

And that tending the net is a full-time job, including when your own team is on the power play!

The Hurricanes got two goals back in the second period, and the Bruins were robbed of a goal when the ref called off what was an obvious goal in every replay from every angle. That ref will need to be but in protective custody to leave the Garden today if the Bruins happen to lose!

It's confirmed: the Bruins set an all-time NHL record this afternoon by scoring three short-handed goals in the same shift. (see post above)

My final Bruins-related post for today:

The Bruins sewed up a playoff spot with a victory today against the Hurricanes, 3-2. It's always nice to head to the playoffs by winning a game, rather than as the result of what other teams do.

After the game, the Bruins held their traditional ceremony of giving some fans the shirts off their backs. Literally. Some fans are selected randomly during the game and come unto the ice after the game. Each player is announced and takes off his stinky, sweaty hockey jersey and gives it to the fan. Injured players are there, too, and walk onto the ice in their business suits. Savard was last, off course, and was treated to a massive ovation.

On to the playoffs!

The Bruins scored just three short-handed goals in the first 80 games of the season followed by three more in 64 seconds of game #81. Amazing!

That steals all the thunder from the Devils 7-1 rout of the Islanders. Game 82 is the #2/#3 seed decider with the Devils hosting the Sabres.

AMAZING is definitely the word. I'm so glad I was watching on a Saturday afternoon.
