Get Well Soon, Matt!

Lucic Crew thoughts are with Matt tonight as he recovers from a successful spleen removal surgery.
We’ll look forward to seeing you back in the Black and Gold next season!

Things that make you say “hmmm”
March 28th, 2009
Hunwick on D and Montador as a wing?? Why not the other way around? And where the heck has Hnidy been, why doesn’t he get a nod every now and then?
On another note, AWESOME backhand goal by Ryder in the first tonight.
Point to Luch tonight in the early goings as well…
Update halfway through the second: another point for Luch who assisted on Krejci’s pretty goal.
Thort, Luch and Savard?!
February 27th, 2009
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.
Rask shuts down Rangers
February 1st, 2009
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?
Seek and Destroy!
January 13th, 2009
I finally got back to the Garden on 1/10 for the Carolina game. The game was a good display of what has made this Bruins team so successful all season. Great hitting, lots of offense, and a pretty stingy defense.
With Luch out of the line up, the B’s called up Byron Bitz who certainly made his presense known. Bitz collected four hits and his first NHL point in his first game up. In a side note, I saw him walk by as I waited for the players to leave. Unfortunately I wasn’t 100% sure it was him (with his parents), so I didn’t approach him. Sorry Bitz! Great game nonetheless.
The title of this post comes from the highlight of the game: Hunwick’s first NHL fight. From the ferocious mid ice hit to defending himself amongst a pack of ‘Canes, it was nice to see Matt come to life. You could tell in the stands that he was fired up during the fight, and the last haymaker he threw was something else! After the fight, Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy” played in the Garden and the whole place was electric. That moment ranks up there with Game 6 last year and the Stars game this year. Awesome fight not just because he won, but because he stood his ground.
