I liked Gord’s quote the best to sum up the whole series: “The Canadiens are as overmatched as Komisarek is against Lucic.”
Luch dropped Komisarek in the second, and then kept his cool as Komisarek punched his ticket out of the game with some face washing and other crap in the third.
The B’s looked strong all night and once they got a goal they went right for the jugular.
Timmy made some awesome stops when called upon to do so.

playoffs 2009
My voice is still hurting from last nights game, my hands are sore from all the clapping and high-fives that were going on last night. There were an awful lot of Canadians fan there last night rooting on the Habs with the chant of GO-HABS-GO, which was quickly followed up by HABS-SUCK. We can’t forget the Ole-Ole followed by the Your Gay – Your Gay. Section 314 was rocking last night! What a great evening! LOL.
All I can say is if Boston and Montreal happen to meet in the playoffs the city of Boston and Montreal respectively should call out the troops, because its going to get a little rough!

As for the brush with fame… After the game we went on over to the Boston Sports Grill for a bite, not too long after we sat down who shows up? None other than Tim Thomas. He was all dressed up and was hanging with a couple of other guys that I didn’t recognize. He sat one table away from us. The crow in the bar started chanting TIMMY-THOMAS …. Tim was very cool as usual, he signed some autographs and took some photos. Even for a few Montreal fans.

Just saw this on Boston.com — How cool is that!
That same source indicated their opponent could be either the Capitals or Flyers, though no decision has been made
Caps? Flyers? We want the Canadiens!!!

winter classic
Recchi scored twice in front of a very fired up and at times antsy Garden crowd. The B’s must be happy to have a win, but that was a sloppy way to win. Timmy’s awesome play kept the B’s in the game when Chicago could have easily had another handful of goals.
Other than a handful of awesome saves by #30 which got the crowd going, two other plays stand out. First was Recchi’s second goal and the other was Axelsson’s open ice hip check during a penalty kill in I want to say the second. Recchi had the crowd chanting his name when he came out for the #1 star.
No goals or big hits by Luch, but he did get a helper on Kessel’s goal.

Bruins Win!

Recchi hands out the stick for being the #1 star

First confirmed trade.

This is the best they’ve looked in a while. Good power plays, good penalty killing (SHG in the third!). Luch had an assist, a bunch of shots and bunch of hits. He keeps coming closer to back in form.
The Bitz, Thornton, Yelle line was fun to watch all game. I’d have to imagine that would be a hell of a line to go up against in a line brawl! Bergeron played very well – even had a huge hit in the 2nd. Sobotka made his presence know with his “Little Big Man” (thanks Jack Edwards!) style of play all night long.
Timmy was the man again. How many times has that been the story line for a B’s game this season?

If there was one positive to take away from Saturday’s OT loss to Philly, it was Bitz’s fantastic play. Saturday that play led to his first NHL goal.
No action shots, but here’s a pic of the celebration after that shot.

Another positive is Lucic finally getting some good hits on people. There were only a handful, but that was more than he’s had since coming back from his shoulder injury.

Wow, first off, what the hell are they thinking with those jerseys. Those have to be the single most horrific uniforms in history. Secondly, the Canadiens can bring any thug they want (HENRY) and they will be dispatched right quick. Thornton continues to shine with Bitz, could he be the next 7th player?

I still don’t like him. Good for Bitz for standing up and going at it. The fight started out slow, and Brashear got what looked like a few good shots in at the end.
Bitz is fighting, Thornton is scoring. Who’d have thunk it?
