This game will forever haunt me. The 09 Bruins were my favorite team, they scored the most goals, gave up the fewest and physically mauled other teams. They wiped out the Habs in 4 straight and looked unstoppable. They were down 3-1 to the Canes and came back to force Game 7…only for Walker to score in OT. Took ten whole years to get revenge on Carolina
That game broke me. I thought this was the year. I remember the Bruins losing other series and I'd just shrug. That time, I was so bitter. I just didn't say anything and left the living room. I thought the Bruins missed their ultimate year to get the Cup. But eliminating the Habs on my birthday to them win the Cup in 2011 will be hard to beat now! 🙂
The Hurricanes did not make the playoffs for 10 years after getting swept by the Penguins after this. Then the Bruins swept us in the 2019 conference finals. Fair's fair.

where was the Thomas magic this year and against Washington in 2012?
Do you have the 2010 Winter Classic between the Flyers and the Bruins?

98% of the time the Bruins let you down
2011 made up for this and 2010. And Dennis Seidenberg would join the bruins for 2011
