The Boston Bruins struck first in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. Sammy Blais was sent to the penalty box for goaltender interference on Tuukka Rask, and with the man advantage, center Charlie Coyle skated up the ice relatively untouched, and sent a pass from Jake DeBrusk past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington and into the net to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead.

The Blues would even things up five minutes later on a Robert Bortuzzo goal. But just 36 seconds later, Joakim Nordstrom would break the tie with a backhand shot past Binnington. That goal was, ironically, set up by a nifty backhand feed from behind the net by Sean Kuraly.

Game 2 has officially entered "blink or you'll miss it" territory, with a 2-2 deadlock following the opening period. Time to make more popcorn!
