The first period was back and forth until near the end of it. With 5:15 left Jack Adams set up Bert Corbeau who scored to give Toronto the lead. It looked like Toronto goalie Don Ross Roach was going to shut the Bruins out when Norm Shay set up Jimmy Herbert to score with 5 seconds left to tie the game 1-1.
Damn CorbeauThe Bruins actually took the lead 3:30 into the second when Bobby Benson set up Stan Jackson to make it 2-1 Bruins. That was as good as it got as Jack Adams scored a powerplay goal with 4 minutes left in the period and Hap Day scored another powerplay goal with 15 seconds left to give the St. Patrick's a 3-2 lead going into the third.
Day with the go-ahead goalIn typical Bruins fashion, they bungled the third period. They went on the powerplay but Day found Babe Dye for a shorthanded goal as the St. Patrick's laughed at the Bruins. Herbert did manage to score on the powerplay assisted by Lionel Hitchman but the damage was done. Both goalies bore down the rest of the way, but that meant the Bruins lost 4-3 to the St. Patrick's.
Hitchman did the best he couldPenalties:
Jimmy Herbert - 2 minutes
Lionel Hitchman - 4 minutes
Stan Jackson - 4 minutes
Herb Mitchell - 7 minutes
Reaction:
This is getting ridiculous. The Bruins seem to invent new ways to lose. Giving up a backbreaking shorthanded goal before scoring on the powerplay anyway is ineptitude on a whole new level. Once again the talent level between the two teams is appalling as Babe Dye has twice as many goals as Jimmy Herbert. Essentially the Bruins are who they are for the rest of the season so coach Art Ross has his work cut out for him in the off-season. They need playmakers that can score for sure. Hitchman has been great on defense but they're gonna need more. Three nights from now the Bruins look to snap their four game losing streak at home against the Montreal Canadiens. Can they beat the Canadiens at the Boston Arena? Let's hope so.
