Boston 4 - Ottawa 0

If the trade deadline naysayers could see the Bruins now they would be shocked, as they claimed to have hitched a ride off of the Bruins wagon. Well, I'm sure they didn't stray too far and they will hop back on momentarily. Thus, making them bandwagon fans, and no longer a fan.

Outstanding game by all parties in Black and Gold. Tim Thomas was as solid as gold, the grind line (sorry Detroit) did their job and created energy from the drop of the puck as the Reich-Sobotka-Thornton combination started the game. The defense also did not allow many opportunities to a very potent Senators line-up.

To quote from a previous post from today...
We may see a lot of jump in the Black and Gold tonight as many guys will be relieved that they do not have to move. Confidence from upper management in not disrupting the team's chemistry should be a huge morale boost for this club.

Minus a letdown at the beginning of the 3rd period the team played solid at both ends of the ice all game long. This team showed that it has the intensity, the chemistry, the desire, and the skills to play in June.

Great game boys, it was very entertaining to watch.

We just shut down the Sens, who are two points back of being number 1. Imagine this slide they are experiencing comes during the first round against the B's? I think everyone on this team was playing better hockey knowing they weren't going anywhere - and they played better. Now we get to see Hossa nad the Pens. Beat them - and the league will take notice. Chara is playing AMAZING! This was the best game the B's played all year.

Great effort by the Bs. Let's hope they can keep it up down the stretch. Typically those teams that are hottest at the end of the season tend to go deeper into the playoffs.
