12:42 AM Jaromir Jagr feeds Bergeron who misses wide. No.68 has astonishingly gotten stronger as the game’s worn on. At 41, one of the all-time greats is showing why. Still no goals in the postseason. He did hit another post on a Zdeno Chara blast on a redirect. Hawks kill penalty.

12:44 AM Corey Crawford turns aside a Johnny Boychuk try. The B’s have gotten momentum from their PP. Crawford had a great first OT but watched counterpart Tuukka Rask stand on his head in the second extra session. The Hawks have an edge due to Nathan Horton leaving with an injury.

12:45 AM The Bruins keep the puck in. Dennis Seidenberg attemps two shots and Crawford gets both. Then another keep leads to a chance for Conn Smythe candidate David Krejci who is stifled.

12:46 AM They’re four minutes into the third OT or 105 minutes in Game One. The Blackhawk crowd is getting antsy. They want a penalty called. Looks like unless it’s blatant sans their awful bench minors, it won’t get called.

12:48 AM I can never get tired of Doc. As I say that, the teams trade end to end chances. First, Krejci is denied by Crawford and then Patrick Sharp is wide with a backhand off a rush. Jagr now sends a pass off a Hawk stick into the crowd. Nothing separates these teams.

12:50 AM There’s definitely more room in this sixth period. The defenses are tired. We’re seeing the goalies have to come up with bigger saves. It’s more frenetic.

12:51 AM Michal Rozsival blocks a Torey Krug shot. Rozy’s had his scary moments in this one, fanning on a puck in the third that led to a great Boston chance. But he recovered to make an awkward save. He and partner Nick Leddy were caught out just now but no damage done. They’re past eight minutes of the 3rd OT.

12:52 AM Of all the players, nobody has been more dangerous than Marian Hossa. He’s been everywhere. He and Saad each have nine shots. Hossa’s backchecking has been ferocious. It’s not just his offense but his skating is second to none. Why didn’t I want him here? He is worth the price of admission. And the Hawks have Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane!

12:55 AM They’re almost at another halfway mark which means another stoppage. And Kaspars Daugavins had a wide open net but his backhand missed wide. Greg Campbell probably buries that. As the whistle sounds, replay shows that Daugavins was forced wide by Oduya. The former Devil’s hustle saved the winner.

12:56 AM Fact: This is the 5th longest overtime in Stanley Cup history.

12:58 AM They’re back out with 9:31 left. The faceoff is won by Toews over Bergeron. A huge defensive win. Some neutral zone play allows Hossa to get his 10th shot from the left circle. An easy save for Rask.

12:59 AM Ed Olczyk notes that Julien has decided not to play Shawn Thornton. That means he’s going with only 10 of 12 forwards thanks to Horton’s injury. The Bruins are up to 54 shots. The Hawks have 61 Doc notes.

1:00 AM Rozsival with a point shot that is redirected in front! Hawks win! I picked Andrew Shaw to win it in the 2nd ovetime. It appears he’s won it. The replay shows Rozy’s shot deflected off Bolland and then Shaw, who had it go off his knee. Funny that it would be a shot from Rozsival. I can’t help but laugh. We were at the double overtime game versus Buffalo in ’07. A great memory.

1:03 AM Shaw had a strong game. He was all over the ice, delivering big hits and was around the net. The simple play works in sudden death. Rozsival got the shot off and had good fortune with Bolland redirecting it off Shaw for the winner. A classic Game 1 hockey fans will never forget.

1:04 AM Chicago again wins in overtime on home ice. I can’t recall the last time they lost there. They showed why they’re the President’s Trophy winners. Their depth players came through. It’ll be interesting to see how Boston responds. Such a tough way to lose. They blew a two-goal lead. What is the status of Horton? If he’s out, how do you replace him? A lot of key players logged big minutes for the B’s. The Hawks draw first blood.

1:06 AM Final Score Bruins 3 Blackhawks 4 (3 OTs)
