PrintIn the next couple of weeks we will be bringing you sixteen of the top moments of the Boston Bruins 2010-11 season. We have separated the nominees into two categories: Post season and regular season moments. We will have a poll question each day for you to pick your winner until we are down to the best moment of the year.
The first two come courtesy of round one vs. the hated Canadiens. There were many stunning moments from this nail biting series, however these two may stand out the most.
Round one against Montreal was Micheal Ryder's comming out party. He and his linemate Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly straped the team on their back for a memorable run. One moment no Bruin fan will forget is the goal robbing glove save that Ryder had on center Tomas Plekanic.

Nathan Horton had his up and downs in the regular seaon, but proved in his first post season apperence that he has what it takes to become a winner. This wasn't Horton first game winner, however if the power forward hadn't found the back of the net during overtime in game seven we never would have wittnessed the one he had against Tampa Bay yet again in game seven.

No T in Clinch
But what i really had to say was that Michael Ryder’s own OT goal in game 4 of the series was worthy of slamming my fist on the bar in celebration (which i would remember for some time to come).

Simple typo, but thanks for letting me know.

oh man
Both of those moments were so good. I was at game 5 for the Ryder save, and it was ridiculous. Nobody could believe it happened, and then we REALLY couldn’t believe it when we realize it was MICHAEL RYDER who made such a stellar defensive play. Crazy!
Horton’s game 7 OT goal saved my life – I don’t think I would’ve lasted more than a few seconds if we lost to the Habs in the first round. OT was stressing me out so badly, and Horton’s shot was dead on.
All in all, it was absolutely worth the stress!
Kick his ass, Seabass!

This was a tough choice. Ryder’s glove save was awesome, but I think the game 7 clincher tops it. It was game 7, and meant the Bruins came back from being down 2-0 in a series-something they had never done before.
I figure I had to put those two against each other being they were in the same series.

Voting Ryder’s save, easily.
Not that I wasn’t super-psyched about Horton’s OT goal, but that save was a huge deal.

I agree I went Ryder. I think it completely turned the series around. It was more than just a save.

I went with Ryder – such a huge save – we could have easily dropped game 5 if he didn’t make that save, and it was so out of character for him.

Had to go with Horton, watching it now it still almost brought me out of my seat, but still a tough choice that save was all kinds of awesome!

Obviously can’t go wrong with either one.

Had to go with Horton. I love the Ryder save too but the Horton goal is the one they’ll show ten years, twenty years from now.
For Horton!
Trust me they will be showing that Ryder save in twenty years as well. It was pretty epic not to sound over exaggerating or anything.

Incredible save by Ryder, but how do you top a Game 7 OT game winner. Sorry Ryder but you have to settle for an honorable mention here.
