Raffi Torres didn’t need to be reminded about how trying last summer was for him as he searched and searched for a job offer that finally came from Vancouver GM Mike Gillis in late August. Well, he was anyway, but Torres had no problems laughing it off Wednesday night. When you become the hero of Game 1 in the Stanley Cup Final, it’s easy to look back fondly at the difficult road it took you to get there. Torres’ path to the press conference room at Rogers Arena was certainly tumultuous, but he got there by scoring the lone goal in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final with 18.5 seconds remaining on the clock in the third period. Torres put home a perfectly placed pass from Jannik Hansen to give Vancouver a 1-0 win over the Bruins and a 1-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.
