That's right kiddies, if your a Bruins fan, you have to love this new NHL scheduling. Hell if we could play Toronto every other game, the Bruins may have one of the best record in the NHL. After lastnights win, the Bruins now have beaten the Leafs in four straight. Not only did they beat the leafs, the shook that third period implosion we have seen by scoring three unanswered third period goals.
The team looked good last night, the lone Toronto goal coming on a bad bounce off the boards that was coupled with a lost edge by Thomas. Other than that public enemy (Ok my enemy) number one was on. Thomas in his 20th consecutive start, made some solid stops keeping his team in the 1-0 game going into the third period, setting them up for the comeback.
Brad Stuart continued his hot streak, scoring the tying goal with a rocket of a wrister midway through the third period, continuing his quest for a big free agency pay day in July 9Unless of course management tosses him up as trade bait late in the season, stay tuned...)
The rookie line of Kessel, Chistov,(ok not really a rookie) and Hogan got more ice time than usual last night and we even got to see Phil the thrill nock Hal Gill on his ass in the third with a decent hit.
The penalty kill was on lastnight, killing off all three Toronto power plays, including a four minute high sticking penalty.
Unfortunately the power play continued its slide, going 0-3. What was once our strong suit, we are now seeing that the power play has become a dump and chase, meaning we dump it in, they ice it and we chase it.
Overall good game, showed the ability to play hard even when loosing and make a solid come back to win a tough division game.

rumor has it the schedule may change cuz they are saying young stars like Crosby won't get to San Jose for 3+ years and they want to get a better fan base.
I'd rather see "more teams". I am all for rivalries too..but 5+ times in 29 days..
