"I know Boston is a football -baseball town, but we must not forget a big loss by the Briuns. In 1971, the Briuns had the #1 seed, the best offense in the history of the sport (at that time - 399 goals) had 3-2 lead in the series, a 5-1 LEAD at the end of the 2nd period in game 6 against Montreal and gave up 5 GOALS in the 3rd period to loose 7-5. That loss it high in the rankings but doesn't get mentioned."
At the time, this was a huge loss, and I felt like crap after it..... The '70-'71 B's were awesome, though arrogance, over-confidence, and Ken Dryden did them in. FWIW, it was game 2 that was the big-lead-blown killer, not 6:
