“Lucic scored his second goal in as many games when he tipped a Zdeno Chara shot past Mason at 12:10, making it a 3-2 game.” The biggest factor of the game was the effort Patrice put in. He tore it up with four assists. A playmaker+!
Nice job boys keep it up.
It was a team effort last night. The Bruins came to play and the Canadiens didn’t. A few things worth mentioning from the game. First, Timmy Thomas with an assist. Secondly Patrice Bergeron takes on Josh Gorges (both 6′ 1 and 190lbs). Patrice won that one hands down. I don’t think I have ever seen Patrice with that level of anger and passion. Third point is that Lucic lost his cool last night and took a bad high sticking call. Because of that he was penalized with a game misconduct with an attempt to injure. Reports that I have seen on the net state that Lucic may be suspened until review by the NHL. Lets hope that gets squared away early Monday and he is available to play Monday night.

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?
