2nd Period
The Hurricanes took full control of the game during the 2nd period. The Bruins were outshot, outskated, and outplayed. The Hurricanes seemed to beat the Bruins to every loose puck, and seemed to be peppering Tuukka Rask with shot after shot.
The Hurricanes’ hold on the game was further entrenched after Greg McKegg squeezed a goal past Rask after being pushed into the netminder by Steven Kampfer. Bruins fans were absolutely incensed after this goal, but the goal stood. McKegg was pushed into Rask by Kampfer, and the puck crossed the line before any contact (incidental or not) was made.
