Kessel now a Maple Leaf
Bummer, i’d rather be a bear than a Leaf. Enjoy phil…
Everything I read these days points to Kess being shipped out of town. If he does leave, who will the B’s look to fill the gap he leaves? Another question that comes to mind, how many fans is he going to lose by being the d-bag that holds out for money and has no team interest? So as long as he gets his pay check he probably doesn’t care who he skates for.
Recchi scored twice in front of a very fired up and at times antsy Garden crowd. The B’s must be happy to have a win, but that was a sloppy way to win. Timmy’s awesome play kept the B’s in the game when Chicago could have easily had another handful of goals.
Other than a handful of awesome saves by #30 which got the crowd going, two other plays stand out. First was Recchi’s second goal and the other was Axelsson’s open ice hip check during a penalty kill in I want to say the second. Recchi had the crowd chanting his name when he came out for the #1 star.
No goals or big hits by Luch, but he did get a helper on Kessel’s goal.

Bruins Win!

Recchi hands out the stick for being the #1 star
