Third Period Open Thread
Three goals? In one period? Impressive output by the Caps... but diminished somewhat by the two they allowed, meaning that we're headed to the third tied at three.

So it turns out Carlson sucks. Everytime I say “he’s to good to get worse” he proves me wrong.

Any theories about his regression? I cannot believe it. He also seems kind of apathetic but I don’t know about that…it might just be his personality,.
He’s always seemed like a bit of a space cadet to me.

I have to say, the crowd at VC has to be having a wild ride.
There's always more to learn about Hockey.
It would’ve been funny if Obama made a surprise apperance to this game.

Have they pointed out that Rask knocked in the first goal? Have they pointed out that on the third goal he stayed back in his net, when he should have come out to cut down the angle on 85?
Nice guys finish first, but sometimes the season is awfully long.

Of course not. Bruins can do no wrong.

Good to know that the Bruins desk guys are as bad as the CSN guys with player names. Matt Perr-Alt? Seriously?

Alright, so I forgot to DVR the beginning, and I came home just in time to see the 3rd Bruins goal. How have we looked so far?
GMGM is trading Ov and Backsrtrom to BUF for Nathan Gerbe so we have a new 1st line of Eakin-MP85-Gerbe.

Natural hat trick. Don’t believe Ovi’s ever had one, sasha does though
Bruce Boudreau when asked about Brooks Laich's return to the lineup, he said: "He just adds another dimension to our team. If it was puzzle, he just fits that thing. He completes us."
Brooks Laich completing everything from teams to tires and everything in between.

If you want toe be very strict, it’s 3 straight in one period. But the most common definition is just 3 straight goals regardless of intermission.

I saw him play live about 10 rows off the ice at TD Garden once. You don’t understand just how big he is until you see him like that
Hell, seeing Boston live in the upper section of TD Garden you can tell he’s a big boy.
