Boston Bruins Win Game 3 On Brad Marchand Overtime Goal

This was a great game as we all thought it would be. Just a little over three minutes into overtime Brad Marchand ended it with a goal which literally required a perfect shot.

The Boston Bruins now lead their second round matchup with the NY Islanders 2-1 as a consequence of Marchand’s third career playoff overtime game winner.

Tuuka Rask made two huge saves in the OT which gave Marchand his opportunity and he made the most of it.

Chris Jackson is going to have a problem if it turns out to be the Bruins vs. the Colorado Avalanche in the Finals. As in who he’s going to root for in the Stanley Cup Finals.. If the Denver Broncos somehow end up with Aaron Rodgers… I’ll have a decision to make as well.

In the two games in the NBA’s Western Conference…yawn.

Anthony Davis couldn’t go beyond five minutes in Game 6 and that’s all she wrote for the defending champion Lakers. Devin Booker scored 47 points and was clearly the MVP in this first round series.

What does this say about last season’s bubble champions or the team they played against…the Miami Heat?

Both go out in the first round playing like shit. Rob Pelinka has nothing on his roster beyond LeBron and Anthony Davis. Jimmy Butler didn’t show up for the Heat and we wonder if the Bubble gave us a fraud championship of sorts.

But congrats to the Phoenix Suns who now given the fact have beaten the defending champs appear to be legit contenders. I think it’s nice for the game to see something different.

The Phoenix Suns vs. the Denver Nuggets should be fun. My son is beside himself in Denver right now. Monte Morris lives right down the street and goes to the same park in Bonnie Brae… which btw has the best ice cream shop in America a few blocks from the park where I sit and watch Little Robert play when we visit.

A note to Sam Presti as we watch these Western Conference playoffs… Donovan Mitchell was the 13th pick in his draft class, Devin Booker was the 13th player taken in his class… Nikola Jokic was a second round pick as the 41st player taken. These are the three best players in YOUR OWN DIVISION.

You do your job in this summer’s draft and pick a player to go along with SGA and we shouldn’t be hearing anymore bullshit about the need to tank again next season.
