Bruins handily defeat the Penguins 6-3
It’s not too often I feel bad for an opposing team, but last nights defeat of the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Boston Bruins was one of those times. No matter what the Pens did, it wasn’t right — the look on the coach’s face let us all know his days were numbered.
The Pens got penalty after penalty, many of them not good ones either. The Bruins ended up with several 5 on 3 power plays and made the Pens suffer on most of the attempts.
The Bruins Joe Thorton, Glen Murray and Dave Scatchard all had great games, getting multiple points. I was kind of surprised with Patrice Bergeron — he didn’t have the best game. You can forgive Patrice though; he kept the Bruins in many games by himself this year.
Sidney Crosby was, without a doubt, the best player on the ice for the Pens. It’s surprising that the Pens are doing so poorly this year with all of the talent they have. I see changes coming for them.
As for the Bruins — it’s good to see them finally firing on all cylinders. I hope they can keep it up.

Hasn’t everyone beaten the Penguins?
Yeah, pretty much. As of last night they are 0-8
Everytime I watch a Blues game they lose. It will be a little later in the year before I really get into hockey. I like to watch the Sunday night games on ESPN.
I had that happen a few years ago. Every time I watched a Bruins game, they lost — really made me mad.
*groan*
this is painful
I was wondering where you were dMac.
other plans have prevented us from watching the last two games, but from what i’m hearing nothing has changed depspited edzo’s (eddie o) changes to the lines. the penalties are killing them and when they are at even strength it seems the opposition has six players skating…
i’m confident they will find some chemistry, but these losses will come back to haunt them come playoff time.
being a pirate’s fan has is good as i’ve got tons and tons of hope.
