19 players with point in the last two games including Tim Thomas who gets an assist on the Kessel goal, according to Andy Brickly the only Bruin without a point in the last few games is Hnidy.

Luch and Savy are currently missing from the bench at the start of the third period. If I had to guess Luch is either getting stitches on that hand or he broke it trying to punch through Mike Browns head. As far as Savard goes one can only speculate that the hit he took from Parros is causing a little discomfort. Lets hope they both come back tonight.

Only the second period so far but what a display of total team play. Hunwick is taking care of business on both ends of the ice, Thomas is looking like the All Star he is (with his saves AND his assist!).

Thornton responds early in the second and has a go with Parros. Thort held is own, taking a few shots and ultimately got the take down. Parros looks like he’d play on the antagonist’s team in a movie.

Luch absolutely pounded Brown. Definitely not your normal bout. That was a personal battle being fought. He was certainly fired up afterwards.

We learned that Savy can only be pushed so far. Not much of a fight due to what looked like a loss of balance.

Of course, thrown in between all this fighting is four B’s goals with two of them scored by Kobasew.

Great fire and great team chemistry happening tonight.

John Bishop wrote it best…
“That is a fired up Bruins team going to the locker room. Anaheim poked the bear and the bear woke up.”

This should be an exciting third period!

Not too much excitement so far, but Bitz shines again.  Good effort, good show of strength as he scores his fourth goal of the season.

Bitz proved why he is the AHL’er still on the big B’s roster tonight. A few hits, and of course two sweet goals.

Luch returned to form with some big hits. Some of the hits were HUGE. Axelsson also had a pretty big hit in the third that was a bit of a shock to me!

It was nice to see Bergeron get a real goal too. That was a sweet play! In the same line of thought, it was great to see Ryder get a goal after coming back.

And what’s an awesome B’s win without gloves getting dropped? You knew it was only a matter of time before Chucky mixed it up. He had some nice big hits and was all over the ice as he usually is.

This is the best they’ve looked in a while. Good power plays, good penalty killing (SHG in the third!). Luch had an assist, a bunch of shots and bunch of hits. He keeps coming closer to back in form.

The Bitz, Thornton, Yelle line was fun to watch all game. I’d have to imagine that would be a hell of a line to go up against in a line brawl!  Bergeron played very well – even had a huge hit in the 2nd.  Sobotka made his presence know with his “Little Big Man” (thanks Jack Edwards!) style of play all night long.

Timmy was the man again. How many times has that been the story line for a B’s game this season?

First goal in a while! Let’s hope this is a sign Luch is back 100%. It’s still early in the game, so let’s wait for some big hits too!

Update!  Not even through the first and Luch has number 2 on the night.  This was a much more individual effort as he had a one on one with the goalie and beat him.   Good to hear his name more on the broadcast.

If there was one positive to take away from Saturday’s OT loss to Philly, it was Bitz’s fantastic play. Saturday that play led to his first NHL goal.

No action shots, but here’s a pic of the celebration after that shot.

Another positive is Lucic finally getting some good hits on people. There were only a handful, but that was more than he’s had since coming back from his shoulder injury.

Luch is hurt again. And again it’s an “undisclosed injury”. It doesn’t take a genius to assume it’s related to the shot he took off his leg in Philly.

Hopefully when he comes back this time he’s back to normal and hitting everything in site.

Wow, first off, what the hell are they thinking with those jerseys. Those have to be the single most horrific uniforms in history. Secondly, the Canadiens can bring any thug they want (HENRY) and they will be dispatched right quick. Thornton continues to shine with Bitz, could he be the next 7th player?
