So, at the end of this game, we have:

- A spirited fight by Ryan White and Adam McQuaid.
- Emelin lays a big hit on Thornton and Sugar Shawn doesn't like that and he's chasing Emelin on the ice since the begining of the game.
- Some nastiness, typical of a rabid rivalry (the fans on their feet when Chara is face first on the ice with a pool of blood around his head). No need for respect in that feud.
- Some very good hockey where the Habs are relying on their main asset (their skating abilities) and where the Bruins are relying on hits and their 4th line to spark up the things.
- Lars Eller takes a run at Tim Thomas and Paillé answers 15 seconds later on the same play by taking a run at the lame goalie named Carey Price.
- Cole bumps Tim Thomas.
- A lot of shots.
- Many big saves from each goalies.
- A scrum started around Subban and Bergeron.
- Brad Machand going with some kind of weird clipping at Alexei Emelin as the 2nd period ends.
- An overtime period that was dominated by the Bruins but Carey Price was jumping around to make the impossible saves.
- Hal Gill going knee-on-knee on Rich Peverly.
- Kostitsyn getting layed out by Chara I think. White takes a run at Paillé. Thornton takes his revenge on Emelin and lays him out. All that on the same shift in the third.

A good game.
