Bruins Fans Ride Game 2 Emotional Roller Coaster Together on Twitter

Game 1 and Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final were equally heartbreaking for Bruins fans, though in very different ways.

The series opener was a nail-biting stalemate until the very end, while the second installment was an emotional roller coaster ending in tragedy.

Bruins fans took to Twitter during Game 2, riding that roller coaster together, as NESN.com’s Jeff Howe moderated the chat with the hashtag #nhlcup11.

See how Bruins fans reacted to the ups and downs of Saturday night in the transcript below.

Well I hope the Burrows OT goal gets the Bruins fired up for a comeback.

gcourtin Guy Courtin
Well I guess payback for Horton not being suspended for game 7 …. It’s been fun folks #bruins

Not the way a game this good should have ended… not to mention the goal was scored by someone who should have been suspended

Crossing out Boston pizza on rink boards to say vancouver pizza even though Boston pizza is a Canadian company?! Real original.

Horrid turnover by Kaberle’s spin-o-rama. Tim Thomas “saves his bacon.” #Bruins

WHAT A SAVE BY THOMAS! Going post-to-post to keep the #Bruins up 1 with under 6 to go in the 2P.

We still have Recchi??? #Bruins

Milan Lucic proved me wrong. Roberto Luongo CAN be scored on. Alright. Let’s go #Bruins.

GIANT goal by the Vancouver native

Homeboy! Lucky to be tied. Boychuk with assist. #Bruins   

enmarshall Eric Marshall
THAT’S how the #Bruins are gonna score. Great play by Lucic   

RachelllJonas Nicks Girl
yayyyyy Bruins!! glad im watching now!

Milan Lucic and the Bruins’ top line offset a miserable first period by knotting the score midway through the second. 1-1

We got this(?) #NHLCup11   FYI Stag has gone in overdrive. Ummmmmmm

Time to change to NFL style…. Referee: “Penalty on Vancouver!” Bruins: “We decline.”

I think it may be time to see Peverly or Ryder on the Bergeron line. #Bruins

RT @andrewjalbert: NBC is really hitting their talking points hard tonight. Chara: “He’s tall!” Sedins: “They’re twins!”   –>LOLOL

Retweeting myself. Deal with it RT @NESN: It seems like a great time to watch this video http://bit.ly/8m0Dx

Can NBC be more pro-Vancouver? pretty soon Doc and Edzo are just going to start saying “we” instead of “the Canucks”   #Bruins

AndrewJalbert Andrew Jalbert
Feels like the Bruins are never going to score. 1G in last 7 periods   

enmarshall Eric Marshall
Wow, if the game keeps going at this pace I might be gassing by the 3rd period

There are just some rattling hits so far in this series. #BRUINS

I wonder if this guy got paid to let the crowd sing the Canadian anthem.   

seatspro SeatsPro.com
The microphone craps out during the singing of the Canadien anthem, could this be a sign in the #Bruins favor? Let’s go TIMMY!!

Good to see Malhotra back in hockey but wish it didn’t have to happen tonight   

z_1994_bonfatti Zack Bonfatti
The more I see Burrows’ chomp on Bergeron, the more I feel karma will EAT the Canucks

Manny Malhotra is officially in for #Canucks. Alexandre Bolduc is scratched. Andrew Alberts in for Dan Hamhuis on defense.
