The Bruins started strong in Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, but trailed the Blues 2-0 by the end of the first period. It was a frustrating start from which Boston never recovered, falling 4-1 to St. Louis.
One play in particular seemed to stand out to Bruins analyst Tony Amonte. Brad Marchand, one of Boston’s best players throughout the season, hesitated on a St. Louis breakaway. As Marchand stepped off the ice for an untimely change, the Blues went up 2-0 with less than 10 seconds remaining in the first period on a goal from Alex Pietrangelo.
