Golden Points: Boston vs Toronto

Yeah yeah yeah, I skipped a few games.  The game against Florida I wanted to puke my brains out it was so pathetic.  Then they finally put together a good effort against the Flyers on St. Patty's day.  I'll let you figure out the reason why I didn't blog that day... or the next.


Bruins Snowman - Toronto Goose Egg

Most of the players on the Maple Leafs probably already have their summer plans booked and the tee times confirmed, but you would think a team that is about to face a season sweep would show up with a little more pride than what they played with the other night.  I honestly don't know if the B's were that good or the Leafs were that bad. 

- Favorite part of last night, anyone that knows me can guess.  Yup, Lucic vs Komisarek Part...uh... 5?  I don't think  Komisarek will ever learn.  He keeps trying to fight Lucic and he keeps losing.  Most of the times it's not even close.  This time he even had the chance to walk away.  Looch gave him a shove then just started to glide backwards because a ref stood in the way.  Dumb idiot  Komisarek just kept on a'coming.  I wonder how is jaw felt the next day.

- Next favorite play was Seguin's pass to Marchand on the Gnat's power play goal.  That was just filthy.  A no-look rifle through the D to an open Marchand who roofs it in.  That was just gorgeous.  Can we please see this type of power play on a regular basis?!  PLEASE!

- Something Bruins fans should be encouraged by is the drastically improved play of Chris Kelly.  He's played very well the past few games and that third line is REALLY clicking right now.  After starting out his second go around with the B's looking like father time had caught up to him, Rolston seems to have found the fountain of youth at the right time.  He's showing a lot of chemistry with Pepe and Kelly.  I wonder what will happen if Peverley makes it back on the ice this trip.  It's a good sign that he's travelling with the team, but I don't think you should break up this line just yet.  

- I could really go down the whole line up and sing praises to everyone, but that'd be boring.  This is a big road trip coming up.  Three games on the left coast against three teams that are fighting for their lives.  It will be a good test to see if the B's have actually turned it around and if they are ready for some playoff hockey.  I would love to get 4 out 6 points.  With the loss coming because we gave Turco a start.

We need 10 more points to secure a playoff spot and 14 more to secure the division.  Then we just need additional 32 after that...
