The Boston Bruins officially eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night courtesy of a non-offsides call by a linesman. The missed call lead to a quick breakaway where sophomore Phil Kessel did the business to goaltender Vesa Toskala. From there, the snowball continued to roll down hill as the Bruins jumped into a tie for 7th place and stayed two points ahead of Washington who beat Tampa Bay in overtime. The Bruins received contributions from everyone tonight, including a game winning goal by Glen Murray and a late goal by a stranger to the line-up, Peter Schaeffer, who brought the lead back to two goals to finish off the Leafs. Tim Thomas did what he had to do to help this team win and the Bruins put the puck in the net to assist the goaltender's efforts. Look out Ottawa, the Bruins remembered how to score!
