20 February 1982: In a game in which the referees decided to pocket their whistles, the Bruins rode a four-goal opening period to a straightforward win over the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. The two teams got off to a cracking start, with three goals being scored in the first 4:20, but Detroit’s early 2-1 lead was a distant memory by the end of the period. Boston scored three times (Bourque, K. Crowder, Pederson) in the final eight minutes to take a 4-2 lead into the first intermission, and expanded that with the only goal (Kasper) of a relatively sedate second stanza.
With the Bruins choosing to sit back for most of the third after Crowder’s second goal had given them a 6-2 lead, the Red Wings had the ice largely tilted their way for fifteen minutes but could only manage a Blaisdell score with 3:30 remaining. There were just two penalties called in the entire contest, and those both came within a minute of each other early in the third period. Crowder had four points, Pederson four shots, and Jonathan three hits to lead the Bs, while Blaisdell had two goals on six shots and Larson threw five pucks on net from the blueline for Detroit. FINAL: Boston 6, Detroit 3.
