The Bruins did not play a playoff game against the Tampa Bay Lightning last night at the Garden. It only felt that way.

It was raucous to start and a little tense at the end. In between, there was a whole lot of raw emotion and a level of courage that spring brings out in hockey players.

David Pastrnak — David Pastrnak! — dropped the gloves with Dan Girardi after the winger didn’t like a hit on Patrice Bergeron in the third period. He posted a Gordie Howe hat trick. Noel Acciari threw himself in front of a pair of slappers on a second-period power play that preserved a narrow Bruins lead. At one point in the third http://www.authenticspursshop.com/kawhi-leonard-jersey-c-2_3.html period, a linesman had to go into the Tampa bench to pry David Authentic Chris Chelios Jersey Backes away from Chris Kunitz and a few more Bolts.

But in the B’s 4-2 victory over the Lightning that catapulted them into first place in the Eastern Conference, there may not have been anyone more emotionally engaged than their most important player — Tuukka Rask.

It was clear throughout the night http://www.officialraptorssale.com/vince-carter-jersey-c-1_18.html that the Bolts wanted to get in Rask’s face. They were called for an early interference penalty and later had a goal taken off the board for goalie http://www.z-z-zip.com/eli-harold-jersey-c-1_17.html interference. But when Cory Tim Schaller Authentic Jersey Conacher shoved Brandon Carlo into Rask at 11:16 of the second period, the usually mild-mannered Finn went berserk.

Once untangled, Rask went right at Conacher and fed him a few shots with his blocker before a host of players, including Carlo and Cedric Paquette jumped in. The B’s ended up with a power play in a 2-1 game. But more importantly, a point was made loudly by Rask.

That kind Authentic Malcom Brown Jersey of show of emotion has not been seen from a Bruins goalie since Tim Thomas was patrolling the crease, and it certainly juiced the guys who are on his side.
