IT took 40 years for Boston and New York to face off again in the National Hockey League playoffs, and now it looks like being over in a hurry, as the Bruins beat the Rangers 2-1 in New York on Tuesday to take a 3-0 series lead.
In the day's other game, San Jose beat Los Angeles 2-1 to level their series at 2-2.
Daniel Paille scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:31 left in the third period to take what has historically been a nearly unbeatable series lead. Only three NHL teams have come back from 0-3 down and the Rangers will try to start that comeback at home tomorrow.
The Bruins need no reminding of the threat, as they led Philadelphia 3-0 in the 2010 playoffs and lost 3-4.
"We can talk about it all we want, but that's in the past," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We had to live with that and we still have to live with that."
The Bruins trailed 0-1 heading into the third, but Johnny Boychuk tied it with his fourth goal of the playoffs after he netted just one in 44 regular-season games. It was the first time in three years that the Rangers had lost in regulation when leading after two periods.
Taylor Pyatt had made it 1-0 in the second period for the Rangers, who had won their previous nine home games.
Meanwhile, San Jose's Brent Burns helped the Sharks jump off to a fast start with his second goal of the postseason, setting up the 2-1 win over the Lost Angeles Kings.
