If the 2011 Stanley Cup Final were pitched as a movie script, it would have been rejected for being too outlandish.
One player biting his opponent. A series-long suspension after a star player was stretchered off the ice after a hit. Goalie trash talk in the media. The heavy underdog upsetting the favorite, and in the process going from one of hockey's most hated teams to the club North America rallied behind in the series. Oh, and in the end, a riot that left the losing city in flames.
Yet it all happened in the Boston Bruins' seven-game series win over the Vancouver Canucks 10 years ago this week.
