One Day Late and Three Goals Short

The Bruins played the St. Louis Blues, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Montreal Canadiens this week and we were so close to having a winning week. The Bruins played well against the Blues, fought back to beat the Blue Jackets, but fell short versus the Habs.

First up was St. Louis and a shutout for Tuukka. Bergy netted the first goal 5:45 into the game. A poor play by Ian Cole set Perfect Patrice up for a wide open net. Lucic and Morrow had some prime opportunities to score but couldn't capitalize. Halfway through the second though, Krug whipped a sweet one by Elliot to put the Bruins on top 2-0.

With a great hip check by Looch and 33 saves from Tuukka, the Bruins skated away on top and with a W on the board. 

Next up, the Blue Jackets and a rally from the Bruins. Columbus went up by 2 early in the game with some sloppy goals. The Bruins were rather silent until the third when Seidenberg rocketed one from center ice. With a little spark the Bruins scored two more goals from Matt Fraser and Daniel Paille. (Paille's first goal in 37 games). The Bruins couldn't keep the lead and Jack Johnson scored to send it into overtime. Shots were 7-1 in overtime in favor of the Bruins, but no goals. Who doesn't love a good shootout? 

After seven rounds the youngster Alex Khokhlachev (Koko) slipped one past Bobrovsky to win the game. 

 

As great as that was, the big talk of the game was Lucic and Dalton Prout's "fight". 

Last up was the Montreal Canadiens and boy wasn't that a fun game! The Bruins were messy to say the least. They had ample scoring opportunities that they just could not get any past Price. The shots on goal were 33-23 in favor of the Bruins, but the Habs were able to get two past Tuukka unlike the Bruins. Carey Price even got his first shutout of the season. The most exciting part of the game was 13 minutes in when Gregory Campbell and Dale Weise squared off in a spiral fight.
