Grabovski game winner boston

After a quick move to the outside that left Seidenberg bumble-headed and flopping on the ice, Grabovski lifted the puck over Thomas for his second goal of the game. But being a player with tremendous heart, he reached down into his soul and found the will to carry on and the skill to perform in the clutch. He should be yours as well. Enjoy our content?

Mikhail Grabovski 's tip-in 39 seconds into overtime gave the Toronto Maple Leafs a victory over Atlanta on Thursday night, giving the Thrashers their second straight loss.

With Boston's loss to Tampa Bay in regulation, the Thrashers are two points behind the eighth-place Bruins. Anderson said the Thrashers wasted a chance against the last-place Maple Leafs to gain two points instead of settling for one.

We have to be better. We've got to be smarter. Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille also scored for the Bruins. Boston continued to struggle in its final home appearance before a six-game road trip.

The Bruins have lost four of five. They were sloppy through the first two periods, then again in the final 10 minutes as Toronto came from behind and left the Bruins stunned. Kessel, still unpopular in Boston for holding out until he was traded in , was booed throughout the night. He jumped on a turnover by Zdeno Chara at the blue line, got around Andrew Ference for a mini-breakaway and faked out Thomas with a forehand shot to tie the game with remaining. The game appeared headed for overtime until Grabovski, who was dazed by Chara on a headfirst hit into the boards in the first period, took a pass from Clarke MacArthur and beat Thomas.

Bergeron broke a 2-all tie with an even-strength goal with left. Adam McQuaid fired a shot from the point and Bergeron was in place for the rebound despite getting smothered by defenseman Dion Phaneuf as he poked the puck into the net for his first goal in five games.

Grabovski, who drew a penalty when he was driven into the boards by Chara in the first, put Toronto up early in the second on a lucky bounce off Boston defenseman Steven Kampfer's leg for a wide-open backhand.
