Hockey is a game of moments.
For the Bruins the moment came seven minutes and two seconds into the second period of the fourth and last game of their first Stanley Cup playoff in a decade.
Then, with Montreal pressing in the Boston end, someone flipped the puck back along the boards to the right point.
The defenseman fired a screen shot that Bruin goalie Gary Cheevers never saw.
As it bounced off his pads into the air in front of the cage, the two Bruin defensemen sweeped in from both sides to smother the Canadians' center wrapping their arms around each other to keep from falling and flailing their sticks over their heads.
Claude Larose, a hapless wing who had scored only two goals during the entire regular season, lifted the rebounding puck over the mess in front of him and into the nets.
It was only their second and go-ahead goal; but everyone in the house knew the Bruins were through. It finished, 3-2.
