As Bolland was leaving the penalty box to improve Chicago’s 5v3 situation to a 5v4, Jagr delivered a beautiful pass across the goal mouth to Bergeron, who settled the puck and buried it into the wide-open left side of the net.

Kelly won a battle on the boards and was able to push the puck out towards the goal. Paille scooped it up, turned around, and fired over the glove of Crawford for the game’s first goal, and his second of the series.

Peep the annotated roster!

After some strong boardplay to the left of the net, Lucic managed to fling the puck in front of the net to Seguin, who made the extra pass to Bergeron. Bergeron then fired a laser over the glove hand of Crawford to give the Bruins a comfortable 3-1 lead.

But not comfortable enough…

Krejci made a great play behind the net, pushing a defender away and passing the puck in front to Horton. Horton tapped the puck across the ice to Lucic who buried it over the glove of a sprawling Crawford.

He succeeds P. J. Carlesimo. Carlesimo was an assistant coach until he was promoted to interim head coach on December 27, 2012 after the firing of Avery Johnson. He took a 14-14 team and brought them up to a 35-19 record and a playoff appearance. He was fired after the Nets lost in the first round to the Chicago Bulls.

A very quick turnaround for Kidd, who announced his retirement from playing just 9 days earlier on June 3rd.

A beloved figure in New York sports, Kidd played 6 ½ seasons with the Nets from 2001 to 2008. More recently he played the 2012-2013 season with the cross-town rival New York Knicks.

Green scored a game-high 27, with 21 of them coming from the 3 ball, which he was hitting early and often.

This brings us to easily the most surprising stat of the Finals so far: Danny Green leads all players with 56 points total.
