The story was going to be about James Reimer, but to some extent, Zdeno Chara ended that with a big blast.
Chara scored the 1-0 goal fairly late in the third period of what had been a great display of goaltending, particularly by Reimer, as the Boston Bruins ultimately won 2-0. Tuukka Rask got the shutout, continuing to haunt Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
Again, Reimer was still very good, and still remains quite hot.

It was also a game in which Brad Marchand likely made even more enemies.
As you can see from the video above, he delivered a questionable hit (was it knee-to-knee?) on Leo Komarov. He also rubbed a little salt in Toronto’s wounds with an empty-netter.
The three stars says most of it:

1. Zdeno Chara
2. Tuukka Rask
3. James Reimer
Yet Marchand certainly made an impact in his own right, and in his own distinct way.
