I hope everyone is having (or had) a great weekend. There was some excellent hockey played on Saturday and some very ugly hockey before it on Friday. Lets get to the games:

December 4, 2009 - Bruins Send Saugus High School To Play Against Montreal

Cammalleri layed a BOOM BASH on Boston Friday night

The Boston Bruins, in a very classy move, made sure the Montreal Canadiens won on the night they retired the numbers of Elmer Lache and Emile Bouchard. To do this, the Bruins sent a local hockey team from Saugus High School to live their dream in play in the NHL.

Wait, what? That WAS the Bruins out there on Friday night?

For those under a rock, the Bruins lost to Montreal on Friday night to an ugly tune of 5-1. Mike Cammalleri tallied a natural hat trick while Glen Metropolit and Jaroslav Spacek (sorry Bell) scored for the blu, blanc and rouge to put the black and gold on ice.

Tim Thomas was not very good in net for Boston, stopping only 18 of 23 shots and eventually getting pulled for Tuukka Rask. Carey Price, on the other hand, looked sensational once again against Boston as he stopped 37 of 38 shots.

Vladimir Sabotka scored the lone goal for Boston. There were several lapses during Cammalleri's hat trick, most notably from Matt Hunwick and Thomas.

It was an ugly game to say the least and was not pleasant in the Ezell household.

December 5, 2009 - Marc Savard Shows Phil Kessel How It's Done

Kessel's head is still ringing from the boo-birds in Boston

Ever since Phil Kessel was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for 2 first round picks, everyone circled this date on their calendar. Today was the day that Phil Kessel, now villain #2 (Scott Walker, still? No?), OK now villain #1 would come back to Boston after a long offseason of "trying to get a deal done".

I'm not sure if Kessel made the trip though, because he was a non factor in this game. The Bruins got on the board early, and often, against the hapless Maple Leafs and welcomed Kessel back with a 7-2 wood shed-like ass whopping.

The highlight of the night was Marc Savard scoring a hat trick mid-way through the third period when the game was put away. It is always good when it's raining hats in Boston though, right Jack?

Tuukka Rask got the start in net for the Bruins, stopping 31 of 33 pucks thrown his way, while Joey MacDonald was replaced for Vesa Toskala in the second period.

The Bruins power play played very well scoring two goals, while the penalty kill shut the door on a decent Leafs power play (14th in the NHL).

There's your weekend wrap-up. A separate news related post shall be up very shortly!
