Just a tremendous game tonight by everyone in white. The defense was solid as a rock and the offense rattled the snot out of Toskala and generated garbage goals just as I asked. We're the Bruins reading my blog an hour before game time?! Obviously not but hey, a guy can dream can't he? Here are two common NHL formulas for success...
Team + Offensive Talent = Highlight Reel Victories
Team + Defensive Talent /Injuries X Garbage Goals = WinsYou tell me which makes the most sense for this team. Give up? Alright, it's the latter. It is more complicated and far more difficult to get the result but, it is the ONLY way this team can pull off victories (a cold opposing goalie wouldn't hurt either).
Thankfully, Buffalo and Florida lost tonight which puts some space between those teams below the B's. However, Philadelphia beat the Rangers in a shootout (Boo, they both get points), Washington beat Carolina in a shootout. The Bruins are now two points ahead of Washington in the 8th spot while the Rangers and Philly are 3 and 2 points ahead of the Bruins for 6th and 7th, respectively. Thursday is another doozey of a match-up with the Leafs.

Very good game overall. The team skated, worked and hitted. The pressure on TO's D was great and our pressure generate very good chances. This PP finally produced something and i want to see more of that first PP unit. Krecji and Kessel looked good, last night.
Just saw this site looks really good and up to date,Great game by the Bruins but didn't Murray look always a step behind
murray is always a step behind. he cant play in this league anymore. hes too used to the old days of joe thornton sitting behind the net feeding him all day without having to move at all. sorry this is a run and gun league now.
It will be very interesting to see what the Bruins will do with Murray's contract in the off season. So far, our young guns are delievering the goods and guys like Pelletier and Karsums will deserve a look. Do JJ will be willing to eat money, cover his mistake and buyout Murray????
