The Bruins knocked off the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night at the TD Garden by a score of 2-1. Jordan Caron and Milan Lucic had the goals for the Bruins. Tim Thomas made 33 saves on 34 shots. David Krejci extended his point streak to 10 games with an assist on Lucic's goal.
Caron was called back up from Providence earlier Thursday morning as he was expected to get the start. Zach Hamill was a healthy scratch along with Steven Kampfer.
Neither team deserved to win this game to be completely honest. I have never seen a Bruins team play as sloppy as they did against Montreal on Thursday night. On Caron's goal, the puck took a weird bounce off the boards and bounced in front of Caron. Since Habs goaltender Carey Price vacated the net in anticipation to grab the puck, Caron essentially had an empty net.
Both teams turned the puck over in their own defensive zone and there was no real established winner in the neutral zone all game.
Yannick Weber scored the lone Montreal goal on the power play. It was assisted by Tomas Kaberle and David Desharnais. Montreal initially went on the power play when Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban elbowed Krejci right in the face, causing Andrew Ference to respond. Ference got whistled for a double roughing minor while Subban covered his head and fell to the ground. Typical.
During the game, Mike Cammalleri got traded from Montreal to the Calgary Flames. He was escorted from the locker room during the second intermission to a local Boston hotel. This comes just days after Cammalleri told the media that the team was "playing like a bunch of losers." It looks like the kettle is calling the pot black.
A very sloppy game that Boston was fortunate enough to win. The B's will be back in action on Saturday when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes.
Gold Star: Johnny Boychuk (1 assist, plus-2 rating, 3 hits)...He was the only defenseman who did not have a sloppy game. Solid effort.
Black Star: Adam McQuaid...The puck seemed to skip around on him in this game. He also was not very dominant in the defensive zone.

Game Thirty Nine: No Marchand? No Worries
After a controversial loss on Saturday afternoon to the Vancouver Canucks, a team that is turning into their new rivals north of the boarder, the Bruins were back in action Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Boston took this game by a score of 5-3.
Tuukka Rask got the start in goal for Boston. Rask has now won his last six decisions with shutouts in three of his last five. He opposed Ondrej Pavelec, who is still winless playing at the TD Garden.
The opening period consisted of both teams exchanging scoring chances. There were times when the two teams got caught too far up ice and that led to breakaways. Boston definitely had the better chances but they just failed to capitalize on them.
The Jets took the lead at 16:53 of the first period on a shot from Zach Bogosian and deflected in by Andrew Ladd. Nathan Horton netted his 13th goal of the season to tie the game with less than a minute remaining in the period. Milan Lucic and David Krejci had the assists. With the assist, Krejci extended his point streak to nine games.
The Jets nabbed two more goals in the second period. Blake Wheeler and Eric Fehr had the tallies. Bogosian and Tobias Enstrom each finished with two assists for Winnipeg.
Shawn Thornton had a very eventful period as he had a goal and a fight. As he was skating out of the penalty box at the end of a 5-on-3 power play for Winnipeg, he grabbed the puck and pursued the goal but was held along the way. That set up a short-handed penalty shot and he back-handed it past Pavelec. He later dropped the gloves with former Bruin Mark Stuart.
Rask stopped a penalty shot taken by Jets forward Chris Thorburn earlier in the game. This marked the first time in Bruins history that the team had both faced and taken a penalty shot in the same game.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien started to mix up the lines a bit from the second period on. He bumped up Gregory Campbell to the third line and stuck Zack Hamill on the fourth line. The move seemed to work since the B’s started to find their rhythm that created more scoring chances.
The Bruins came out firing in the third period. Horton scored his second goal of the game just eight seconds from the drop of the puck. Once again, Krejci and Lucic had the assists.
Boston dominated the entire period as they made it difficult for Winnipeg to leave their own zone. Tyler Seguin and Benoit Pouliot each added a goal in the period. Seguin’s goal was his first ever point against the Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise. Four Bruins players finished the game with two points each.
Solid performances in all three zones and good goaltending down the stretch by Rask contributed to the win. It may have taken until the final period to get it done, but that has been the story of the season so far for Boston.
The B’s will be back in action Thursday night when they welcome in the Montreal Canadiens.
Gold Star: Nathan Horton...He really seems to be feeling it now as he puts his slow start to the season behind him.
Black Star: Joe Corvo...A costly turnover and no production on the power play. It seems to be a recurring thing with him lately.

Marchand Suspended For Five Games
Bruins forward Brad Marchand had his phone hearing with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan early Monday afternoon in regards to his clip on Vancouver Canucks defenseman Sami Salo. After a lengthy waiting period, the Bruins were informed that Marchand will be suspended for five games.
Marchand has developed a reputation as a player who plays right along that line without crossing over. After Saturday's loss to Vancouver, he may have crossed that line. He will lose over $152,000 in game checks from the absence.
The hit took place with around one minute left in the second period. Marchand and Salo had been jousting and shoving each other earlier in the shift. As the puck was wrapped around the boards, both players skated after it and Marchand went low with a clip. A five minute major and a game misconduct was issued. The Canucks went on to score two goals during the five minute power play en route to their 4-3 victory over the B's.
As far as the hit is concerned, it was a horrible hit. There was no need for him to go after Salo's legs the way he did. Some would argue that the two players were getting into it earlier in the shift and Marchand thought Salo was going to come head hunting for him. However, if you watch the replay you will notice that Salo had his eyes directly on the puck, not Marchand. Salo allegedly received a concussion on the play.
Should he have been suspended for the hit? Absolutely. Is five games too much? Possibly. Shanahan took into account that Marchand is a repeat offender. Earlier this season, he was fined $2,500 for slew-footing Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen. He was also suspended two games last season for elbowing Columbus Blue Jackets forward R.J. Umberger.
Since it was a phone hearing, the suspension could not have exceeded five games anyway.
No one should pay attention to what the Vancouver staff and players are saying about Marchand because they are a bunch of hypocrites. But the kid has to learn. If a player from another team clipped a member of the Bruins, we all would be outraged. It is not right for someone to throw a hit like that no matter what team they play for.
The Bruins have to put this behind them. In fact, they are probably the only team that can do that due to their great depth. Boston will be back in action Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Marchand is eligible to return from his suspension on January 19th when the B's play the New Jersey Devils.

Game Thirty Eight: The Canucks Got Their "Revenge"
Saturday afternoon was the rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Final between the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks. No big deal right? Well, not so much.
This was hyped as everything but a normal game. It is a horrid habit by the media, but they had every right to build it up as a showdown.
The antics that Vancouver pulled in that nationally televised series disgraced their franchise just a little bit. The Aaron Rome hit on Nathan Horton. The "biting incident" between Alex Burrows and Patrice Bergeron. The "pumping" of Tim Thomas' tires. The Jannik Hanson crotch shot on Adam McQuaid. For your information, that was just to name a few.
The Bruins would not see all of the faces that they encountered last June in this game. Rome was out with a broken thumb and Boston College graduate Cory Schneider got the start in goal over Roberto Luongo, which was a surprise move by Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault. Luongo had won three out of his last five starts. However, he was lit up in the Stanley Cup Finals by the B's.
Tim Thomas started in goal for Boston. Brad Marchand made his return to the lineup after missing Thursday's game with flu-like symptoms.
Just four minutes into the game, fans saw gloves and sticks on the ice. Shawn Thornton slashed Burrows as he was exiting the ice, causing Burrows to respond. Thornton went back after Burrows and was met by six Canucks. Both teams were in the middle of a line change so that is the reason for the odd man situation.
Maxim Lapierre jumped in and starting throwing cheap shots like the tough guy that he is (sarcastic tone). Milan Lucic came off the bench during the scrum and that led to him receiving a game misconduct. If you watched the replay, Henrik Sedin (one of the six Canucks involved with Thornton) left the ice before Lucic came off the bench so the game misconduct was necessary. The call was later rescinded after the game. Horton and Gregory Campbell had two separate fights in the opening period.
When the Bruins were skating five-on-five (eight minutes or so), all they were really doing was playing dump and chase throwing hits along the way. Vancouver responded by capitalizing on a five-on-three power play. Ryan Kesler put the Canucks on the board first after putting a deflected shot behind Thomas. Marchand tied the game after a great pass from Tyler Seguin.
The Vancouver defense played very sloppy in the second period. There were three different occasions when the Bruins had a breakaway with the goaltender. Daniel Paille even got interfered with during one of them and was allowed a penalty shot, which was eventually saved by Schneider.
Boston began to settle in and started playing their game. Rich Peverley put the B's on top at 7:12 of the second period. The goal came after Benoit Pouliot realized an icing was waived off and pursued the puck to get it to Peverley. The Canucks grabbed two power play goals toward the end of the period to take the lead back. Burrows and H. Sedin had the tallies.
Vancouver had a continued five minute power play into the third period due to the major clipping penalty called against Marchand. He hit Sami Salo low at the knees and it appeared that Salo was injured on the play. Cody Hodgson put another power play goal past Thomas during the remaining penalty time.
David Krejci brought the B's back within one but they failed to capitalize on a late six-on-four man advantage. Boston dropped this game by a score of 4-3.
Throughout the game the referees were kicking people out of the face-off dot left and right. The refs had nothing to do with this loss though. Over 100 penalty minutes between the two teams. The Bruins will have to go forward with suspensions likely coming their way.
The B's will be back in action Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets at the TD Garden.
Gold Star: Nathan Horton...What a physical and aggressive game he played in this one.

Game Thirty Seven: Bruins Put Out The Flames
Just one day removed from a stomping of the New Jersey Devils, the Bruins were back in action Thursday night at the TD Garden. They played host to the Calgary Flames, a team that Boston will only see once this season.
Fans might remember the last time that the B's took on the Flames during the 2010-11 season. They knocked off Calgary in the middle of a six-game road trip in which they went 6-0-0. The only other time that a Bruins team has gone 6-0-0 on a road trip was during the 1971-72 season. What do those two teams have in common? Both teams won a Stanley Cup.
The Flames are a tough team that will always battle their opponent hard. They have a stud in Jarome Iginla who came into the game looking for his 500th career goal. In order to get that illusive tally, he would have had to do it against Tuukka Rask who started in goal for the Black and Gold.
Brad Marchand was scratched from the lineup due to flu-like symptoms. Benoit Pouliot took his place on the second line and Zach Hamill played on the third line in Pouliot's usual spot.
We should not be surprised by something like this anymore, but the Bruins dominated the opening period. Tyler Seguin scored his 16th goal of the season just 1:14 into the game. Milan Lucic put the B's up 2-0 after the puck took a ridiculous bounce off of Olli Jokinen and past Flames goaltender Leland Irving. David Krejci added a power play goal later in the period to extend his point streak to seven games.
The Bruins made the Flames play chase all around the ice in the opening period because they controlled most of the puck possession. There was not that many fast rushes up ice. Instead, Boston took their time and brought the puck up ice at a slower pace. That strategy worked out quite well I would say.
In the second period, Calgary got more shots on Rask as the Bruins defense played somewhat loose. As far as the offense, they picked up right where they left off. Nathan Horton scored a pair and Patrice Bergeron and Chris Kelly scored a goal each. Zdeno Chara recorded his 300th career assist on Horton's first goal.
Miikka Kiprusoff replaced Irving in the Calgary net after the Bruins netted their sixth goal of the game.
Both teams just looked for the game to be over once the third period came along. The Flames had a power play but that only led to a short-handed goal by Daniel Paille. Bergeron added another goal for his second of the game.
The Bruins went on to win this game by a score of 9-0. Rask stopped all 25 shots he faced for his 11th career shutout. Twelve Bruins players finished with at least one point. Five of them had three point nights (Seguin, Horton, Bergeron, Krejci, Pouliot).
Getting the win in this game was a great way to kick off a four-game homestand. The Bruins next game will be this Saturday afternoon when they take on the Vancouver Canucks in a much anticipated showdown.
Gold Star: Patrice Bergeron (2 goals, 1 assist, plus-3 rating, 2 shots on goal, 76.5% face-offs won)...He earned this one for sure.
Black Star: Shawn Thornton...It looked like he took a couple of shifts off in this game.

Tim Thomas Voted Into All-Star Game
Tim Thomas was just informed Thursday morning that he was voted into this year's NHL All-Star Game as the starting goaltender. Thus far, Thomas has posted a 17-6-0 record with a 1.90 goals against average and a .940 save percentage. This is a well-deserved honor giving the stats he has posted.
Thomas was one of six players to be informed that they have made the All-Star Game roster. Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman and captain Dion Phaneuf also made the roster. The other four players are all members of the Ottawa Senators.
Milan Michalek leads the team with 19 goals and has been a big surprise for the Sens. Erik Karlsson leads the team with a whopping 32 assists. These two players have earned the right to make the top six in voting. However, veterans Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson are somewhat skeptical to me.
Spezza does have 40 points and Aldredsson has returned this season very strong after missing much of last season due to injury. But keep in mind that the game is in Ottawa and the fan voting may have something to due with it.
The four Ottawa players are great athletes, especially Michalek and Karlsson. Do I think that Spezza and Alfredsson deserve to make the top six over players like Pavel Datsyuk or Mikko Koivu? Not at all.

Game Thirty Six: B's Open Up 2012 With Win Over Devils
The Bruins opened up this very tough week in the schedule with a game Wednesday night against the New Jersey Devils. Boston routed New Jersey by a score of 6-1. Boston (51 points) now pulls within one point of the Eastern Conference leading New York Rangers (52 points).
The Devils got on the board first when David Clarkson scored a power play goal set up by Zack Parise. The two ran a break-away after the Bruins got caught playing a little too far up ice when they were supposed to be conservatively killing a penalty. Tim Thomas looked like that he could have stopped the shot as well.
The B's went on to beat Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur for six unanswered goals. Patrice Bergeron scored two beauties, one of them was unassisted. David Krejci had a goal and assisted another to Nathan Horton. Yes, Horton got credit for the goal, but it was the perfect pass from Krejci that set it up. It was such a good pass that even I could have scored Horton's goal.
Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton also contributed to the score sheet with a goal each. Dennis Seidenberg and Milan Lucic each recorded two assists. Thomas made 30 saves on 31 shots.
The Bruins were in complete control of this one. They played very tight defense which forced New Jersey to commit 17 turnovers. They also controlled the face-off dot, winning more than half of the draws (30-12). Boston played consistent throughout the entire game and that is something that needs to be done all the time. Getting off to slow starts will not always work out.
The Bruins are back in action Thursday night back at home when they welcome in the Calgary Flames.
Gold Star: David Krejci (1 goal, 1 assist, plus-1 rating, 2 shots on goal, 76.5% face-offs won).
Black Star: Benoit Pouliot...He came up small against a team that he has had success against in the past. Taking a 10 minute misconduct penalty did not help his case either.
