Boston evens up series with Canadiens
Michael Ryder scored at 1:59 of overtime last night to give the Boston a 5-4 win over the Canadiens in Montreal and even their playoff series at two games each.
P.K. Subban gave the Canadiens a 4-3 lead in the third period, then Boston's Chris Kelly scored to send it to overtime.
Ruff: Flyers whining
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff is calling the Flyers whiners after their bitter complaints about the officiating following Game 4's 1-0 loss.
Flyers captain Mike Richards, hit with a five-minute major for elbowing Patrick Kaleta late in the second period, was the harshest critic after the loss that evened the first-round playoff series at 2-2.
Richards triggered Ruff's rebuttal when he said the Sabres are "allowed to get away with murder out there."
"They're really doing a lot of whining," said Ruff. "I didn't hear any whining when they had 10 power plays in Philly and I didn't hear any whining when the power plays in the first game were lopsided."
"But all of a sudden, there's all this whining about, we're getting away with murder?"
Game 5 is Friday in Philadelphia.
