Yes, it was just an exhibition game, but there's something very satisfying in hearing "Bruins 8 Canadiens 3".

Bergeron had 4 points in his 1st game action in 11 months, and Sturm also had 4 points. Now they need to do this in the regular season.

You know, I keep flipping back and forth, but the more I think about it, the more I believe Boston will actually win the division this year and get a #2 seed.



The only reason they didn't last year was because of Montreal's 8-0 record against them. That's a 16-point swing. If Boston won half those games, they would have been in first instead of the Habs.



And they did all that without Bergeron.

If Patrice comes back with 50 points this season, then he deserves the Masterson.

I'm willing to bet he has more points than that.

Schaefer is heading to waivers. Blake Wheeler made the team.

Blake Wheeler, phenom.

TY to the Phoenix Coyotes' management for not getting this former #5 overall pick signed.

And kudos to the B's management for "convincing" him to sign here. Developing the kids last year got him here.

Bizarro world where Dave Lewis gets a 2nd year="no" Blake Wheeler.

"PHEW!" on that one.

FAR too many friggin shots tonight.

Lucic to a fanning Kobasew to the opportunistic Krejci!!

Just like they drew it up!

Patrice with a silly tripping call just to make it scary with the late PP.

Tim Thomas stands on his head tonight, and deserved that win.

Things to tighten up for sure, as the Avs aren't supposed to be scoring 4 on teams often this year.

But the B's aren't supposed to be scoring 5 a night if last year's 3rd worst output was any indicator.

Adding Bergeron, Wheeler, an improved Krejci and I guess Ryder while only losing bit parts may have given them the offense they needed.

Fernandez=teh suck.

Kessel has 2 goals in 2 games.

Alberts gone = addition by subtraction.

YAY!!!!!

Kobasew with another broken bone? How long is he going to be out?

They are saying 3 weeks. I have a feeling he will be out closer to 6.

One win and three overtime shootout loses over last 4. On the positive side, getting valuable points. On the negative, should have won at least two if not all three SO losses outright, need to bury the chances.
