They fought valiantly and came up just one goal short.
Bruins fans took to Twitter to discuss the action on Friday night, using the hashtag #NHLCup11.
Clearly, the Bruins Twitterverse has no love for Alex Burrows and Max Lapierre.
See what fans were saying as Game 5 unfolded, and how they're feeling about Boston's prospects for the rest of the series.
