Tim Thomas
makes 37 saves and the Bruins become the third team in NHL history to win Game 7 on the road when they
defeat the Vancouver Canucks 4-0
at Rogers Arena.
Bergeron scores the Cup-winning goal at 14:37 of the first period, Marchand and Bergeron each score in the second and Marchand scores an empty-netter late in the third to become the first rookie with two goals in Game 7 of the Final. With five goals, Marchand matches
Roy Conacher
of the 1939 Bruins for the most by a rookie in the Final.
The Bruins overcome 2-0 and 3-2 series deficits to win the Cup.
"We never, never quit, and that's what I'm proud of," coach Claude Julien says. "They're so deserving of what has happened here."
Thomas is voted winner of the
Conn Smythe Trophy
as playoff MVP after limiting the Canucks to eight goals, a record for the fewest allowed by a goalie in a Final series in which he plays seven games. The previous record is nine, set by
Frank McCool
of the Toronto Maple Leafs and
Harry Lumley
of the Detroit Red Wings in 1945.
