Wow...that's all I can say about last night's game. Holy crap. Why can't they just play like the goalie is pulled all the time?!
Thomas...what a monster. The diving save on Alfredson really over shadowed his awesome save on Cheechoo which was almost equally as amazing. Well positioned and never giving up on the play. That's our Timmy!
Wideman however was AWFUL. Sloppy passes, lack of effort all around. The breakaway on Thomas by Alfredson was a perfect manifestation of Wideman's play all night. Let's hope he's just working out the rust after sitting out a few games.
This 3rd period effort stuff is not going to keep us going for long. We need multiple players to step up throughout the game. Not in the last 5 minutes of the third. Morris obvioulsy contriibuted, but Thomas carried the team all night. You're not going to win games with only 16 shots in the first two periods. We need to put some more pucks on net...stop trying to do to much.
B's are off till Thursday and by then I should be all moved in and be able to catch up on the simulations. I'll have to thank my new neighbors for the stolen internet I'm using to make this post!
One last thing....how about those Maple Leafs huh? That Kessel trade is looking better and better every day! And now that they've played, I can put a new Toronto Watch up!

2-1 Bruins Over Montreal: Timmy In Vezina Form. Practice Pics and Vids!
We're not worthy! We're not worthy! Go Timmy! Excellent game by Thomas tonight. He started out shaky int he 1st but played much better in the second and third. I only wish I could have seen it, radio just doesn't cut it. From what I heard, excellent rebound control, coming far out of net to challenge and making 33 of 34 saves. That is the Thomas we know and love. Going to be a good boost of confidence for him after that terrible game against New York. Add Thomas's big game tonight with Rask's recent success, we got our selves a nice two hit combo in net going intot he season.
I can't image they'll go with Thomas again tomorrow night as he was at the bottom of, what was described as a 'pile up', in front of his net. According to Bob Beers, he got up pretty slow. He managed to finish the game, so I can't image that it was anything to bad. I'm going to vote Rask for next game and Thomas for the last.
Heard from Zach Hamil quite a bit this game. Didn't score any goals, but definitely helped put and keep the pressure on Montreal. Unfortunately, near the end of the game, took a shot off the leg and was slow to get off the ice. He would later return, but was clearly in pain. I'm personally tired of Zach Hamil and his injuries. If it's bad enough, I think Sobatka will take the extra spot which was Hamil's to lose.
Mark Stuart, scored tonight. Nice to hear from him and get him seom well deserved praise. Quiet guy, but is totally sound on the ice. He's "A Bruin" for sure.
Bergy, Bergy, Bergy...why can't you score in a shootout in the REGULAR season!
Overall, nice to see Montreal go down again this pre-season, lets hope we can carry this into the regular season.
As for practice yesterday. Wow! Check out the pictures and videos we got yesterday. Lots of straight forward, but challenging drills. 3 on 0s, 3 on 2s, 1 on 1s, breakaways, they did it all yesterday. Julien was all over both the rookies and the vets. No Chara though, kind of a disappointment as it's always cool to see him run a Captains practice since they're basically pick-up, half rink, 5 on 5s.
Another cool part about yesterdays practice was that all the veterens were wearing differnt colored jersey to signify their lines. For example, Thorton, Sobatka and Bitz were wearing red and are the expected 4th line(You can obviously replace Sobatka with Zach Hamil if Zach makes the team).
The not so awesome part of practice is the fact they didn't wear names on their jerseys. I hate that. I can recognize the faces of the usual guys, Ference, Wideman, Ryder etc... but it's hard to tell the rookies apart. I can't image it'd be hard to print a name on a back of practice jersey. So lame. What they did last year (during rookie camp) was provide a roster of who was on the ice. I think they should do that at the very least.
A pretty entertaining practice regardless of nameless jerseys I suppose.

5-2 Rangers Over Bruins: Thomas Will Have "The Anisimov" With The Works.
Rough preseason game for the Bruins. I didn't get to watch it, but from what I read, Thomas wasn't looking to sharp. 5 goals on 19 shots, ugh. But this Artem Anisimov, is a MONSTER. Check out him working the Bs defense to score on Thomas. Nasty. Hope he doesn't make the team!
On the upside of things, Savard and Hamil scored. Nice to see Savard getting right back into things and seeing some consistency in Hamil's game. Max Suave also came away with an assist, really pulling for him to make an appearance with the club this year.
Montreal got WORKED by Ottowa last night which makes our loss a little less painful. Mike Fisher for Ottowa came out with a Hat Trick and Carey Price let up 4 goals on 16 shots in 2 periods...nice. We play Montreal tonight, at 7 and lets hope that Price's stellar play carries over from last night. Boston.com hasn't posted a roster for tonight, but I can only assume that Thomas will get another start so he can get back in the swing of things. I'd like to see Suave and Hamil in the line up again. From what I've read/seen our defense needs some work. I think it's time to start putting the usual D pairings in, start getting some chemistry going, especially with Morris.
Kessel, had his press conference in Toronto yesterday. Check out the video here. Kessel saying "Toronto is the best hockey city in the world." pffft. Traitor. Could you please provide some more generic answers Phil? Thanks. Can't wait for his first game against Boston. We'll see how his outside-inside move down the wing works when you got Chara there to rough em up.
Anyway...
Go Bs! Beat them Habs!
