Can't be explained??? YES IT CAN!

I start with a quote from the bench boss. "Can you guys explain this one to me?" This was his answer to the Boston Globes Fluto Shinzawa when asked how the Bruins where able to win with the way they got man handled in the first and then blew a 4-1 lead and a 5-4 lead.

I hope Fluto's answer was something like this, "No Asshole that's your J-O-B"

Lewus didn't know why, despite a first period pounding where the Canadiens had14 shots, his team held a one-goal lead. Simple answer there Davey, the other teams goalie was having a terrible night. The first goal was a decent goal and there was not much that Huet could do. The second goal however should have been a sure sign to our stellar coach that things where not right with Huet letting a puck in from behind the net, playing his angle to far of the post and Muzz made him pay. "I just threw it at him, seeing that he was out of position and it went off the back of his leg an in"
Hmmm the players could see he was off, why not the expert eyes of our coach.
One reason the Bruins blew the first lead was the play of Chara. I did not start to count his misplayed pucks until the second period, where he had 6 misplayed pucks that lead to scoring chances. Not to mention his two penalties. Now if that was any other player on the roster, Lewis would have had them on the bench for at least a shift asking them what was wrong. Not Chara though, he does not have to answer to Lewis the mortal.
I give Lewis credit for noting that in the first period the kid line was flying, unlike the rest of the team, so they earned a regular shift..... Regular shift? Lewis should have put them out there on extra duty and passed the smelling salts around to the other lines.
The first period was the worst period I have seen the Bruins play all year. Yup ALL year, even worse than opening night when Florida slapped us around the woodshed.

I will give credit to the players, and of course Thomas (Yes he let in a couple of soft five hole goals, but he made up for those in the first period by keeping his team in the contest. (Nice work Timmy, just remember, we don't have the offense to get 6 goals every night.)

I hope the boys don't get today off, I hope the coaching staff stresses that this was one of the teams worst performances even though they won. They came out flat in the first, blew two leads, one 3 goal lead and another one goal lead in the third, not sure wich of those is worse.
If this was my team they would be skating their balls off for the first twenty minutes of practice to make up for the no show in lastnights first period. Then we ask the Captain to explain to us why he looked like a rookie who had never played in the Bell Centre before, looking around missing the puck. Hell we pay your a zillion dollars a season, which to me spells out that YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE A BAD SHIFT for get about the whole game.

Bottom line is WE SUCKED Montreal must be pissed and we stole one from them at home.... As a Bruins fan nothing is better than THAT!
