Bruins 6 - Leafs 2


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 = Wins
You 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.
