Thomas, Roloson needed to be perfect; only one was
Saturday, 28 May 2011
Tim Thomas and Dwayne Roloson matched each other save for save for more than 50 minutes in the decisive seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals.
They both needed to be perfect.
Only one of them was.
Nathan Horton beat Roloson with 7:33 left for the only goal of the game, and the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 on Friday night to reach the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1990.
For Roloson, who was yanked twice in the series and benched for another game, it was a stellar performance but not the shutout he needed for the Lightning to advance.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BOSTON (AP) - Tim Thomas and Dwayne Roloson matched each other save for save for more than 50 minutes in the decisive seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals.
They both needed to be perfect.
Bruins bask in win but keep focus
Sunday, 24 April 2011
It featured highly entertaining, hold-your-breath, heart-pounding action that only a quest for Lord Stanley's Cup could generate such muster and determination from both hockey clubs. In the end, it was the Bruins who pulled out a dramatic 2-1 double-overtime victory Saturday night at TD Garden. Nathan Horton notched his first career playoff goal at 9:03 of the second overtime to help Boston gain its first lead of this best-of-seven series, a 3-2 advantage. The Bruins have shown tremendous resiliency after dropping the first two games and they have now won three in a row with the series shifting back to Montreal for Game 6 on Tuesday. "It was an exciting game for both teams, but in the end it felt good to get that," Horton said. "We knew it was going to be a greasy goal [that won it], and it sure was. It was a rebound, but they all count. It was a big goal for us."
