Stanley Cup Final: Bruins Smash Canucks To Climb Back In Series

At Boston:


David Krejci


After losing Nathan Horton to a frightening first-period injury, the Boston Bruins erupted for four goals in each of the remaining two periods Monday night in their 8-1 horsewhipping of the visiting Vancouver Cancuks in the third game of the Stanley Cup Final, cutting the Canucks' advantage to two games to one.  Tim Thomas stopped 40 of 41 Vancouver shots while Mark Recchi scored twice (including one of the two Boston power-play tallies).  Michael Ryder scored the Bruins' other power-play goal in the third period.  The Bruins also notched a pair of shorthanded goals, one from Brad Marchand in the second period and one from Daniel Paille in the third period.  David Krejci, who had a goal and an assist, is seen here celebrating.
