I've been a Bruins fan as long as I can remember.

I own two Bruins jerseys, one is a personalized custom jersey and the other is a 1972 Phil Esposito jersey.

Enjoy my blog.

Bruins Outlast Lightning Storm

The Boston Bruins used an offensive blitzkrieg to take down the Tampa Bay Lightning at the TDBank Garden on Wednesday.

Marc Savard, Patrice Bergeron each had a goal while Marco Sturm netted two for the 4-1 victory. Tim Thomas played well, stopping 39 of the 40 shots that came his way. The only goal for the Lightning came from ex-Bruin Jeff Halpern at the beginning of the 3rd period.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The Good

Marc Savard. The guy has been busy as hell this week. Two days ago he signed a 7 year contract extension that will keep him in Boston until the 2016-2017 season. Last night, to award the Bruins for the extension, Savard scored on the power play to give the Bruins 1-0 lead.

Penalty Kill. The penalty kill was great last night, killing off 6 penalties. This moves the Bruins to 2nd in NHL on the penalty kill at 85.4% behind San Jose at 86.0%. The Bruins were able to throw their weight around when down an extra man and are continuing to show that they are one of the best teams when down a man.

The defensive unit. The defensive unit played extremely well last night, especially on the offensive end. The group had 3 points (2 from Zdeno Chara, 1 from Derek Morris) and although they allowed 40 shots to hit Thomas, they were able to stifle guys like Martin St. Louis and Steve Stamkos.

The Bad

Power play. Ok, bear with me here. It wasn't bad last night, per say, but it wasn't good either. Yes, they scored on the power play but the Bruins ended up going 1 for 3 on the man advantage. They currently rank 25th in the NHL with a 17.0% success rate and are slowly but surely dragging themselves out of the 20s.

The Ugly

Ok, maybe it is just me but does Dennis Wideman have a gold tooth? If so, this needs to be taken care of.

Win of the Night

sturm


Sturm putting in two goals last night is easily a win for this team. The Bruins let Phil Kessel walk because Marco Sturm was coming back healthy and was on the brink of being a 30 goal scorer before he was injured.

Stat of the Night

Marc Savard scored his 200th NHL goal last night. Mark Recchi ALMOST scored his 550th NHL goal, but the goal was given to Marco Sturm.
