Three points and one game away from Perfection

Joe has a three point lead over Jagr in the points race and he has one game left. That means Thornton would have to be shut out and Jagr would have to have a three point night. Not saying it could not happen, but the scenario is unlikely. As it stands Joe looks like he will win his first scoring title and the Bruins will look like the ultimate fools. This reminds me of when the Bruins duped the Canucks into trading Cam Neely for Barry Pederson (I know March you think Neely sucks, well he is a hall of famer and that vote is taken outside of beantown.) Still even if you do not like Neely, he was much better than Barry Pederson, who by the way was the last Bruins player to win rookie of the year before Raycroft and Sammy. Meaning that after management dumps Raycroft over the summer we would have dumped our last three rookie of the year candidates without a blink of an eye was the Pederson deal worth it? Yes in the long run, will the dropping of Raycroft and the tossing of Sammy be worth it? Not likely, who knows what we will get if anything for Andrew and I do not see Marty Reasner or Stasny becoming even a 30 goal scorer which Sammy was always good for. (Only had 23 this year but was hurt, and spent most of the year on one of the worst teams in the league.)

Congrats Joe you have earned it!
