Waiting outside the players’ exit was interesting again Saturday. Thornton was in the passenger seat of a RI plated Jeep and did not stop. Ryder reluctantly stopped his Escalade to sign autographs. Savvy stopped his Land Rover, Sharpie in hand ready to go which I thought was awesome. Especially after a game like that one. Brick stopped to sign stuff, as did Bob Sweeney. Even Julien stopped his Land Rover as well on the way out.
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.
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.
Awesome game tonight to be at. It was nice to see a kid like Rask shine as bright as he did. That seems to be the theme this year with Wheeler, Hunwick and now Rask. Both teams had chances to score more… but Rask and Lundquvist seemed on top of their games. It would have been nice to see more checking by the B’s, but a win is a win.
It was also wicked awesome to see Renee sing the nation anthem. I hadn’t seem him sing it live since last playoffs.
Oh, and seeing her wasn’t bad either:

Why is she not wearing a Bruins leotard?
After the first NJ penalty last night, the camera went to the box and behind the glass what do I see? A Lucic Crew shirt! Thanks to who ever that was!
Thornton had a go early. It’s a shame he lost his footing, but at least he got back up. I wouldn’t award a clear winner as it seemed they both were throwing punches with no one giving out more than they were getting.
Overall sloppy play last night. It was a great team effort to climb back into the game – but no one wants to lose like that. At least they got a point.
There are mumblings out there that Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT is a front runner to host the 2010 game.
Bruins vs. Montreal? Bruins vs. Rangers? It’s gotta be an Original Six matchup…
It was reported during the game broadcast that Luch is out with a shoulder injury.
Irony that he knocked out Komisarek with a shoulder injury?
Wheeler’s goal looked 100% effortless. St. Pierre’s was just a bullet. Ryder’s was pretty nifty too after you watch the slow-mo of his stick work.
Thank goodness they were able to win. I hate to admit it, but I got nervous about their chances, especially when it seemed Timmy couldn’t make a stop even when he was in position.
Let’s hope the All Star Break does this team some good.
