Providence looks to extend the lead to 3-1 on Thursday in Portland.
The Providence Bruins took down the Portland Pirates 2-1 in game 2 of the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs.
Goals were scored by P-Bruins who have made significant appearances in Boston. The first was scored by Vladimir Sobotka and the game winner by Jeremy Reich.
It was a very physical game with the Pirates seeming to be outmuscling the B’s until the third. Sobotka was all over the ice hitting people and creating offense. He also received a 10 minute misconduct in the third.
All in all it was a great game with some great hockey being played the whole time.

This is the best they’ve looked in a while. Good power plays, good penalty killing (SHG in the third!). Luch had an assist, a bunch of shots and bunch of hits. He keeps coming closer to back in form.
The Bitz, Thornton, Yelle line was fun to watch all game. I’d have to imagine that would be a hell of a line to go up against in a line brawl! Bergeron played very well – even had a huge hit in the 2nd. Sobotka made his presence know with his “Little Big Man” (thanks Jack Edwards!) style of play all night long.
Timmy was the man again. How many times has that been the story line for a B’s game this season?
