Make 'em Friday, I say. I'm sure we can find something to do Saturday afternoon.
Stupid Bruins still haven't figured out how to play 60 minutes in a row. Skated the Sens right off the ice in the first period, came out with a 2-0 lead. Managed to get only three shots in the second period, but still held on to the 2-0 lead. Gave up 19 shots in the third period, gave up four goals plus an empty-netter for the 5-2 loss. Pathetic. Granted, there were mitigating factors. Two of our top D were out (Chara, Stuart), and a third went out with an injury after about 2:20 of icetime (York). That left them with just five defensemen, and two of those were rookies just called up from Providence the night before (Lashoff and Sigalet). The Sens picked up on that, the rooks were on the ice for three out of four of the non-empty net goals. It got ugly at times, lots of bad decisions being made in periods two and three. I suppose it's a testament to the game he played that the Ottawa press gave Timmy the third star. Not every day that a goalie gives up four goals in the final period and loses 5-2 and yet still gets one of the three stars. Still, it was good to see Kessel back on the ice. Knowing how hockey players can be and how hockey locker rooms tend to be, I gotta think they're calling him "one ball" now. Just a guess. I wonder if they fitted him with a neuticle.
I see your Caps got a dose of Vitamin F (for "Flyers") tonight. That tends to work to get a team back on track. And of course my boy Marty continued his awesome season tonight, picked up a goal and two assists (and the #1 star) in a 3-2 win over the Pens. Nice.
