2008 NHL All Star Game – Eastern All Stars Win Late
This was an intense game that was up for grabs down to the last seconds of play. The Eastern All Stars took a 5-1 lead in the first period making it an early “win” for them. However, in the 2nd and 3rd periods, the Western All Stars came back and took the lead 7-6. The East came back to tie it and with 20.9 seconds left in the game, Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard got the game winning goal. Since the game is not over until the time hits 0.00, the West fought back and almost scored with 2 seconds left making it a very close game.
With a little over 30 games left in the season, lets hope the Bruins can get a little better. They are not doing horrible, but they should be doing better. Last year they finished 13th in the Eastern Conference and this year they are 7th. Unfortunately, Patrice Bergeron will most likely be out for the rest of the season after his head hit the boards on October 27th by Randy Jones. Last year he added 70 points to the team stats which was missed this year.
