Bruins blow lead, lose to Avs


Colorado Avalanche @ Boston Bruins game recap video, on November 12, 2015.
Tonight the Bruins played well for the first half of the first period but then it all went downhill afterwards. The Bruins would give up 2-0 lead in the first period and never get back as the Avalanche controlled most of the play for the rest of the game. Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg returned to the Bruins lineup and was throwing hits everywhere he could.

Quick game summary
In the first period, less than two minutes into the game, Bruins Zdeno Chara scored his 2nd goal of the season, making it 1-0 Bruins. Later, Bruins Ryan Spooner scored his 4th goal of the season, a power-play goal, making it 2-0 Bruins. Later, Bruins Tyler Randell dropped the gloves with Avalanche Cody McLeod and they had an ok fight. Later, Avalanche Carl Soderberg scored, making it 2-1. Late in the period, Avalanche Francois Beauchemin scored, tying the game 2-2.

In the second period, no scoring happened. In the period, Bruins Brad Marchand was laid out by Avalanche Gabriel Landeskog with a blindside hit, that earned him a match penalty. The blindside hit looked awfully similar to the Matt Cooke cheapshot on Marc Savard. I wouldn't be surprised if Landeskog gets suspended for the hit.



In the third period, Avalanche Matt Duchene scored, making it 3-2 Avalanche.
