B's win in OT...Celts take on Lebron tonight

The Bruins won a 5-4 OT thriller this afternoon on a slapper by Marc Savard. In his first game back since suffering a grade 2 concussion seven weeks ago, Savard sent a shot over Flyers' goalie Brian Boucher's shoulder for the game winner 13:52 into the first overtime period on a delayed penalty.



Tuukka Rask stopped 32 shots for Boston, and Miroslav Satan and Patrice Beregeron each had a goal and an assist.

Boucher stopped 41 shots, and Mike Richards had a goal and two assists for the Flyers.

Dennis Wideman had three assists for Boston, which took a 2-0 lead in the first 13 minutes and still led 4-2 with under 8 minutes left. Richards cut the deficit to one goal with 7:23 to play, then Danny Briere outmuscled two defenders to go in alone on Rask and tie it with 3:22 left.

Boston had several good chances early in the overtime, and Philadelphia had one with 15:33 left when Rask stopped Daniel Crece on a breakaway.

The Celtics start their Eastern Conference Semi-final with Cleveland tonight at 8pn on TNT. They look to upset the #1 seed Cavs lead by the #1 crybaby/choke artist Lebron James.

Also, Dice- K returns to the hill tonight for the Sox after spending a month on the DL. To make room for Dice-K, the Sox designated Alan Embree for assignment and he will no longer be with the club.
