OT: NESN Bruins Classics

[SPV]

Great playoff game from 2008 on NESN Plus right now. I had forgot we still had Glen Murray at this point. And it makes we wish we still had Kessel, Savard, and Lucic.

Murray was my favorite Bruin at the time.

He took a lot of hate from the fan base that playoffs.
He was not long for the new NHL post lockout.

They made out like bandits in both the Kessel and Lucic deals.

Murray’s play during that season was terrible. The playoffs just took it a few steps further. I’ve never seen a player hit rock bottom so fast. He didn’t have any points during the playoffs and had 30 during the regular season despite exclusively top line minutes.

Kind of strange for me to watch that game on TV. I can still remember my view of every goal up in the balcony as if it was yesterday. I had come down from Vermont (was attending college at the time) that afternoon. I think we got tickets for around $50 each up in the balcony?

That 2008 game 6 was a huge turning point for Bruins hockey. Ushered in a new era.

Safe to say this game 7 should never be seen again.

I had a class that I couldn’t miss.

My classmates knew I had recorded the game.

Class let’s out at 8:30pm and this asshole says to me “They’re down 3-0, huh?”.

I was f***ing livid.

I will argue til the day I die that the real turning point was Savard's OT winner in Game 3. They had lost 12 in a row to the Canadiens to that point. They went 0-7-1 against them that regular season. That goal was a huge weight being lifted

Yeah you never missed anything,I had taped the Chicago game last Cup appearance,and heard the score,was glad actually I had no interest in watching them lose the cup,I have never watched it still,I wish I had been working for this game also,damn retirement.

I’d agree with that.

What I should say is that series was the turning point, even if they ended up losing in 7.

Murray teals from Kovalev after Kovalev is severely injured on his arm.

Wait, is that the right year?

That was 2004 I think

Broken record alert....

I say this every time NESN comes up but with the hundreds/thousands of games worth of footage they have, I am so disappointed they aren't more creative with their programming.

Top 20 Bruins Playoff Games
Top 20 Bruins fights

etc.

I say this all the time about 'classic' games on TV, there were plenty of classic games more than 10 years ago. This was a nice one to catch the other day though, as I needed a lift after the last real game
