Hockey Prompt - On April 10, 2010, the Boston Bruins faced off against the Carolina Hurricanes in the second to last game of the regular season, needing a win to secure a playoff berth. A scoreless first ended shortly after Matt Hunwick took a 2 minute hooking penalty with 18 seconds left in the period, setting up Carolina with over a minute and a half of power play time to open the second period and potentially open the scoring. Things uhhh didn't exactly play out that way. Instead, 32 seconds into the period, Steve Paille beat all the Canes down the ice to get a cleared puck from Zdeno Chara, and made a nice move towards the middle of the ice and potted a shorthanded goal. Things didn't improve for Carolina as less than a minute later, Blake Wheeler would one time a second shorthanded goal past Cam Ward to put Boston up two. Just 15 seconds later, Steve Begin put a third shorthanded goal on the board, setting the record for most shorthanded goals on a single penalty. Boston would go on to win the game 4-2 and clinch a playoff spot. The game was particularly sweet for some fans from Connecticut, many of whom were Whalers fans until the franchise relocated to become the current Carolina Hurricanes, leaving many fans angry about the move and switching allegiances to Boston.
