Boston dumped it in from center ice along the left dasher....the puck rolled the length of the boards...went around the corner...behind the net....and hit a crease in the boards causing the puck to shoot 90 degrees in front of the goal...

The goalie had no idea it was in front of the net.

Patrice Bergeron was all alone with the puck...
