First Period
Boston put the initial pressure on Toronto, tallying the first shot at about the one-minute mark. A good cycle early in the offensive zone kept the Garden faithful roaring for the first few minutes of the first.
Quickly, that tide changed - The B’s were surprised with a great pass to a wide-open Nylander, who fired point-blank shot, but Tuukka Rask was ready. This led to a bit too tight of a grip on the sticks after the first few minutes, as the puck wasn’t moving quite as fast as the Bruins were thinking.
