Two games and four overtimes have passed already in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals, and the series is even at one game each, heading back to Boston, where the Bruins will host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight for Game 3. The game will be televised on NBC, and can be live streamed here. Bruins fans can listen to the game on 98.5 The Sports Hub, and Blackhawks fans can hear the game on WGN 720.
The Bruins fell behind 1-0 in the first period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and entered the first intermission down a goal. Bruins center Tyler Seguin knew his team was getting outplayed and was not going to let it happen.
According to reports, he removed his microphone and took part in a group effort to change the team's attitude for the rest of the game. "It was really a mix of everybody saying something," Seguin said. "I definitely knew it was coming, so I threw my shoulder pads in the training room and put a towel over it so no one could hear what we were saying. I think we needed that team wake-up call."
After Chicago unloaded 19 shots on Boston goalie Tuukka Rask, while the Bruins only launched four, the team session was clearly necessary. "I think Tuukka pointed out that was a pretty terrible period by our team. If it wasn't for Tuukka, it would have been a lot worse," said Chris Kelly.
The Bruins rebounded to win the game, but Blackhawks defenseman Dave Bolland said the Blackhawks blame themselves for easing up after the first period. "You always have to have your foot on the gas against this team," Bolland said. "They're a physical team. You see the guys they have. They're a big team and they play hard and they're going to hit, so you've got to be ready for that."
