COMMENTARY
Sometimes, a little bit of chaos can lead to good things.
The Boston Bruins entered the third period of Sunday’s tilt with the lowly Vancouver Canucks facing a 2-1 deficit. But amidst Linus Ullmark’s struggles and a flat opening 40 minutes, Bruce Cassidy’s squad persevered.
Hart Trophy candidate Brad Marchand carried the Bruins on his back in the final period. His keen leadership sense showed with thunderous hits on the likes of Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and a clutch goal and helper on Boston’s pair of third-period attempts on the power play.
Ullmark bounced back in the closing moments, helping the Bruins stave off Vancouver’s desperate attempts for the equalizer.
