Winter Classic 2016

The Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins 5-1 at Gillette Stadium in the 8th annual Winter Classic. The Canadiens dominated the first period with a goal from David Desharnais 1:14 into the game, the Canadiens could have easily had more goals if it wasn't for a good period from Tukka Rask. In the second period the Bruins woke up and had 14 shots in the period, but no goals. The Canadiens on the other hand had two goals from Paul Byron and Brendan Gallagher who just returned from injury. That was more of a close period, but Mike Condon did great along with an amazing save at the end of the period. The third period started out good for the Bruins with a goal from Matt Beleskey, but the Canadiens came back with goals from Max Pacioretty and Paul Byron. The Canadiens were the better team and they took the lead in the Atlantic Division, (side note: the Canadiens won two of their last thirteen before this game). It was a dominating game for them and the Bruins will have to shake it off and move on. Could the Bruins have done anything differently? Did Tukka Rask just have a bad game? stay tuned.....
