Did Alexandre Burrows bite Patrice Bergeron during Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final? The referees said no, but the Bruins — and the team’s fans — knew better.
So when the B’s and Canucks took the ice for Game 2, after Boston suffered a last-second defeat to Vancouver in the opening game, it quickly became clear that these two teams did not like each other. That mutual dislike, however, translated into some pretty exciting hockey.
Hoping to avoid another 0-2 hole in a playoff series, the Bruins gave Roberto Luongo and Co. everything they could handle, heading into overtime with a chance to even the series.
