2001: Former P-Bruins captain and coach Peter
Laviolette earns his first NHL head coaching job with the New York Islanders.
2005: Trailing the
series, 2-0, and the game, 1-0, for nearly 35 minutes of clock time, the
P-Bruins get a crucial equalizer via Keith Aucoin with 6:54 to spare in
regulation. In the ensuing overtime, Brad Boyes scores the walkoff goal to cut
the Philadelphia Phantoms’ lead to 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. The
deciding strike comes only five seconds after Philadelphia had killed a bench
minor.
