Bruins 5 - Penguins 1


This was an absolutely outstanding game played by the Bruins tonight. They were making crisp passes that were smart and on the tape. This team really looked inspired proving that Tuesday's beating of the Senators was not a fluke. Every man on the ice was doing his job and much more. The Black and Gold limited shots by either blocking or taking away opportunities by their positional play to make things easier on Tim Thomas. Thomas is at his best when he does not need to face multiple shots each time down the ice. It was excellent defense, superb goaltending, fantastic breakouts, and terrific pressure in the offensive zone when Pittsburgh was attempting breakouts that made the difference tonight. Malkin was a ghost tonight, in fact, he barely even had an impact on the game. This may have shown Hossa where he should sign this summer...

I loved every minute of tonight's game. Of course, how could I forget? Mr. Lucic...



I wish I done this post before I went out to celebrate a friend's birthday but, hey, that happens.

Five in a row boys. Keep it going!
