Record: 4-2-0
This was a classic let down game. The B's were coming off two big wins against a top opponent and now facing a hurting Rangers team with most of their offensive threats on the DL. The B's played physical and didn't back down, which was nice to see, but they just weren't crisp with their play. Some of the stuff that seemed like good ideas last game came back to hurt in this one, namely Mark Recchi at point in the power play. What ended up being the game winning goal was scored when Recchi miss handled the puck at the point and it leaked out of the offensive zone and on to the stick of a streaking Ranger who broke away and beat Rask. Here's hoping this performance is just a let down and not a sign that we are in for another up and down season.
The highlight of the game from a Bruins perspective, other then the three fights and their all around physical play, was the Horton goal. David Krejci went into the corner and made a no look through his own legs pass right on Horton's stick in the slot. I have no idea how he did it. I wonder if he could see Horton's reflection in the glass because he didn't even give a peak over his shoulder as he went into the corner. Either that, or it was just dumb luck.
Next game is against Toronto on Thursday
