The POWER is OUT

Once again the Bruins Power Play failed to generate any offense for the Bruins. The boys blew a two goal lead with a little more than five minutes left. Time was definitely not on Bostons side, as it was only a matter of time before the Blues figured out that Thomas goes down on his knees when the puck is behind the net. He did this twice late in the third and the Blues capitalized on it for both goals. This one is not all Thomas's fault, as the Defense could once again not break up the cycling down low. Tomorrow's game in Long Island will speak volumes as to how the Bruins respond. They have now lost 3 of 4 and are a pittiful 1-20 on the power play making their power play good on 5%. I think it is time to move some guys around, put Chara down low, put Muzz up top with Stuart and see what happens. Something has to give, or we are likely to be the only team in the league that does not sell out their home opener, or at least fill all the seats (much like those sell outs last season that showed tickets sales selling out but NESN's broadcast showed an awful lot of empty seats.) Kessel play ok for a 19 year old and had a nice assist on Bergeron's goal. He also got a stick to the face and a shoulder that sent him on his ass at the end of the first. Welcome to the big leagues kid, your moves are getting better and I will go out on a limb and say he gets his first on the island this weekend. Should have had it last night but he made one to many moves and lost the biscuit. This team needs to play 60 minutes not 55 and they need to start banging some bodies, the Blues where hitting everything that moved and Boston was sitting back waiting. Someone should have pounded Guerin into the boards after his hit from behind on Savard, but no one did anything. One scrap last night betweenn Guerin and Hogan (Hogon got the beating but he also gave up about 30 Lbs to bill. Plus Bill got the extra two so who really won?)
Well next update will be Monday and hopefully it will be after a B's win.
