The Bruins stole two points away from the San Jose Sharks Thursday night as the Sharks outplayed the Bruins in almost every way but Tuukka Rask kept the Bruins in the game to give them a chance. Somehow, some way, David Krejci deflected an Adam McQuaid shot and it crossed the goal line as the clock went under one second in the third period to get the Bruins the win. That was just amazing.

As Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley mentioned in the broadcast, this game was very similar to the Avalanche-Bruins game on October 10th, where the Bruins outplayed the Avs but the Avs found a way to win, as the Bruins found a way to beat the Sharks Thursday.
