Canadiens vs Bruins: Third Period Thread

Bye bye Rask!

Emelin laid out Iginla, and Iginla got really mad. We’ve lost him folks, he’s officially in the poisonous grasp of the dark side.

Peter Budaj was put to the test earlier as Boston dominated the opening half of the period. The shots in the frame were 7-1 halfway through the period.

Brad Marchand was Brad Marchand, and his rat-like qualities led to a Habs power play, where a Gionta tip-in on a Plekanec shot made Marchand pay for his idiocy.

Daneil Briere extended the lead to 4-1 when he scored on a breakaway. EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING.
