Bruins tied the game with 32 secs in the 3rd period.

He was great.

I enjoy the Boston Globe description of the 6th inning

At various points in the inning, Beckett seemed to be rearing back and just throwing as hard as he could with little regard for where the ball was going. He hit two batters and nearly hit Cervelli and Teixeira.

Beckett had struck out seven over the first five innings. So either his control or his professionalism abandoned him in the sixth. Either way, the Red Sox are down by eight runs and Beckett now has an ugly 7.46 ERA.

Yes, I like the Globe. They’re pretty reasonable, and were more than happy to call their team out for poor performances during the second half last year, too.

"Beckett's professionalism abandoned him" is correct

unless he is injured, there is no way he pitched like vintage Beckett for 3 innings and then became Rick Ankiel

If he wouldn't have walked anyone and gave up a run
