I SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE A WICKED GAME TONIGHT DID'NT I?!!
Wow!
What a crazy cool game!
I attached lucky 7 pictures to recap the game for you all,
So all through the 59 1/2 minutes of the night it was score 0 - 0 for the two teams, then during the last minute was where all the insaneness happened!
Raffi Torres scored on an exceptional pass from Hansen with 18.5 seconds to left in the 3rd period,
and Vancouver stunned the Boston Bruins 1-0 to end the night.
Torres put a slick redirection past Tim Thomas to score the latest go-ahead goal in a finals game since 1992, when Mario Lemieux connected with 13 seconds left in Pittsburgh's series-opening win over Chicago.
Roberto Luongo made 36 saves in his third shutout of the postseason for the Canucks, but Thomas matched him until Torres - the only Vancouver player with previous finals experience - slipped through the Bruins' defense for an eye-popping goal that launched a wild celebration at Rogers Arena.
Game 2 is Saturday night in Vancouver.
GO CANUCKS GO!
#BRINGITHOME #BOYS!!!
NOTES: Teams winning Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals have gone on to hoist the trophy 77 percent of the time (55 for 71) since the league went to a best-of-seven format in 1939. ... Vancouver scratched C Manny Malhotra, who isn't ready to return from a career-threatening eye injury. Malhotra hasn't played since getting hit in the left eye with a deflected puck March 16, but he returned to practice two weeks ago after at least two surgeries. Alex Bolduc replaced Malhotra in the lineup, but barely played. ... The Canucks hadn't gone into the third period of a scoreless playoff game this spring. Boston had done it three previous times. ... Former Maple Leafs captain and Canucks forward Mats Sundin attended the game, as did Vancouver resident Michael J. Fox.
