3-2 Bruins Over Preds: Bruins Win Despite Tons Of Injuries.

Thomas played a great game tonight. Especially in the last 5 minutes. Defense fell apart with the extra man on the ice in the last minute of the game but Thomas hung in there. Thats by boy!

Marchand is a friggin monster. This guy was tearing it up, fun to watch every time he was on the ice. His feed to Ryder was amazing and his defensive play was great.

Trent Whitfield did not look comfortable. I don't think I hear his name mentioned at all tonight nor did I head anything from his linemates Wheeler and Sobotka. It didn't' seem like this line got a lot of ice time. I wouldn't be surprised to see this line get broken up or moved to the 4th line with Thorntons absence.

Overall, a good game tonight, not to many terrible penalties taken and sloppy play was held to a minimum.

We play the Flyers tomorrow which should prove a bit more of a challenge.

Go B's!

Looch Out. Thornton The Lone Wolf Tough Guy.

Lucic is out with a broken finger for 4-6 weeks. Total bummer. Looks like Thornton will be pulling double tough guy shifts for a while. Chara can also throw his weight around, but he's needed on the ice more so then the box.

But with Lucic out, it's suprising how much the look of the team can change. Bringing up Marchand, Sobotka and Lefebvre will add some speed rather then toughness to the lineup.

Marchand is tied for first in most goals in the AHL with 6. Which is good news if he can start off where Kobasew should have. Sobotka will hopefully will make up for a bit of Lucic's toughness and provide a bit more of a goal scorers touch. I'm not to familiar with Lefebvre, but I'm excited to see what he can bring to the team.

Maybe the trade of Kobasew and some fresh faces will bring some consistency to the Bruins game.

Go B's!
