Bruins Beat Canadiens In OT
Nathan Horton scored on a slapshot at 5:43 in overtime of Game 7 to give Boston a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, advancing the Bruins to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Horton scored on his only shot of the night off a pass from Milan Lucic, setting off a celebration on the Bruins bench and in the stands. It was Boston's third overtime win in the series, including Game 5 on Saturday night when Horton scored 9:03 into the second extra period.
"He's been saving it for seven years, right?" Bruins coach Claude Julien said with a smile. "So he had a lot of game-winning goals in him."
Conference semifinals begin on Saturday at 3:00 in Philadelphia where the Bruins will face off against the Flyers. The Flyers knocked Boston out of last year's playoffs with four straight wins after the Bruins had built a 3-0 series lead.

Great win and congratulations to the Bruins and their fans. Comparing the Bruins to the Canadians, It's an intense and longstanding rivalry among original pro teams, but one franchise has a massive advantage over its opponent in terms of achievement and success through the years.
