B's extend winning streak to three!

It seems as though the Boston Bruins are starting to look a little more like their former selves. The B's have strung together their first three-game winning streak of the season. Patrice Bergeron dished four assists, while Milan Lucic, Mark Recchi, Marco Sturm, and Blake Wheeler all scored a goal in the 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues. The game also marked the return of Marc Savard, who had been out for over a month with a broken left foot.

Highlights of the game below. Also, I highly suggest checking out an impressive save by St. Louis goaltender Steve Mason at the 3:20 mark.

Back in Black

OH HOCKEY, how I have missed you.

Tonight I finally caught my first Boston Bruins game of the season. Sadly, I was unable to watch the season-opener on Versus against the (very talented) Washington Capitals on Thursday night. However, from what friends have told me, it's better I didn't see it.

Coming out to their alternate third jerseys (the black ones debuted last season), Boston played every bit like the team that stood atop the Eastern Conference last season. They were scrappy and hard-working, which showed on the scoreboard. Seven different players scored for the B's in the 7-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in the TD Banknorth Garden. Maybe something boiled inside them as they realized they were facing the same team that eliminated them last season in Game 7 of overtime or maybe they just realized falling into a 0-2 hole to start the season is never fun. Either way, whatever it was, I hope they keep it up for the future.
