Bruins vs Leafs game 3 summary

TORONTO, CANADA - MAY 6: Tuukka Rask #40 and Zdeno Chara #33 of the Boston Bruins celebrate the teams win in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2013 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs May 6, 2013 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Bruins played much better in game 3 than they did in game 2 and won 5-2. Toronto could only score power-play goals from some questionable calls.

The big story, at least on social media tonight was the Toronto fan who was holding a blue "Toronto Stronger" sign with a ribbon, copying the "Boston Strong" design. I don't know if the fan didn't get this, but that sign doesn't mock the Bruins or put the Bruins down at all, but he's using the Boston Marathon tragedy, those who died and were injured all for a joke. What a loser. There's even a forum post on Canucks.com with some people laughing about the sign, liking it and thinking there is nothing wrong with it. I guess when your team is down 3-0 and on their way out of the playoffs you got to waste your time somehow.
