Two games, Two losses, Too many goals against

The Bruins started and ended the year on the same note. A poor effort, resulting in two absolute blow outs. OK so the Nashville game was not an absolute blow out if you look at shots on goal. The Bruins fired 38 shots on goal, however looking at where those shots came from will make you think that the Bruins where trying to give goalie Chris Mason a shut out. Only 15 out of the 38 shots where from below the face off circles. That is absolutely unacceptable, unless of course our name is Dave Lewis who told the Boston Globe "I thought we played a heck of a hockey game," said Lewis. "I thought we played one of the better games of the year." How the hell do you loose 5-0 and say you played one of your better games this year? I guess all five goals where one players fault right? (read: Hannu goes to Providence, Lewis should have gone with him) That is a hard pill to swallow seeing that he has gotten one start in the last month (a loss to the Habs, where he played his ass off and the team let him down) and he had three goals deflected in on him. Anyway they played like pee-wee's and the result was a shut out, and the assignment of what was once our goaltending future to the baby B's (We will likely not see Hannu in the Garden again, unless of course it is for some other team.)

Game TWO:
So teh Bruins took one of their "best efforts of the year" and went to Toronto. What better place for the B's to get out of a funk than Toronto. They where 4-0 and dominated the Leafs all year. Plus the Leafs had some key injuries and where pretty banged up. Monday's game should have been a cake walk. Well someone should have told the Bruins that. They once again got shelled being out scored 5-1 and getting out shot 35 - 28. Tim Thomas played like his normal self, doign everything possible to loose this one. The third goal was a back breaker, as Thomas somehow missed a rolling puck that came out of the corner, and from teh replay may have even knocked it into his own net. I thought for sure we would see Hannu in the third period, but that was prior to knowing that he was going to be sent down.
So if the 5-0 game was one of the best of the year then 5-1 must have been even better, after all we did score a goal.
Not sure what is going on in Bean Town today, but I sure hope we are back in the market for a goalie. Thomas's bubble may have burst and we could be sitting at the bottom of the Northeast division for some time now.
