Somebody call 911.......


.....The Habs got murdered last night. Words cannot describe the performance put on by the B's tonight. Complete and Total DOMINATION. In what was billed as the most important game of the season with the Habs looked to win one for "Patches" (Max Pacioretty) after he got bundled by Zdeno Chara, the Bruins brought their A game. Goals by Nathan Horton (21,22) Gregory Campbell (11,12) Thomas Kaberle (4) Adam McQuaid (3) and Johnny Boychuk (2) paced the Bruins to the shutout victory.

Couple (8) Thoughts about last nights drubbing.....

The TD Garden was bumping last night. There were not many moments last night where the fans did not have reason to cheer. It didn't matter if you were sitting in the best seat, or the worst seat in the house.....all that matters was you were in the building.

During the second period, the Habs tried their darndest to get back in the game. The Bruins were on their heels for a few minutes (only a few) and that prompted Coach Claude Julien to call a time out. Solid coaching. After said timeout, the Bruins did not allow a shot for the rest of the period.

Tim Thomas, although not having a lot of work during the game, was rock solid. Posting his 8th shutout of the season and gaining more confidence heading down the stretch. The Defense kept his sight lines clean and clear making most shots a cakewalk.

Greg Campbell had the goal of the night.....the Bruins were trying to kill off a 5-3 disadvantage and Soupy had the balls to steal the puck and snip over Alex Aulds right shoulder on the breakaway for the rare 2 man down shortie. Please note, Montreal Defender James Wisniewski completely gave up on the play allowing the breakaway.

The Bruins first line (Horton, Krejci, Lucic) was DOMINANT last night. Posting an 8 point night. Two goals from Horton and 3 Assist a piece from Krejci and Lucic. Great passing, great shooting and great offensive pressure. Need that in the playoffs.

The Power Play looked solid on the 4 minute power play at the end of the First. The B's kept offensive zone possession for the majority of that double minor. Capping the hard work with a easy goal for Horton. Keeping that much solid pressure on a teams PK will ultimately lead to goals. Keep that up.

Tomas Kaberle scored his first goal as a Bruin. Although it was during garbage time (the last ten minutes in the 3rd), it was still great to see the d-man get his first tally at home. Hopefully Mr. Kaberle likes the energy of this town and he wants to stay here for years to come and signs a multi-year extension. Please and Thank you.

TV play by play man Jack Edwards after Kaberle's goal...."Its a six-pack for the Bruins. BOTTOMS UP!"

AND.... Shannon's survey was the HARDEST survey I have every had to participate in. Just ask Coon and Zeke.

With the win, the Bruins have 92 points and push their lead to 5 points in the Division with two in hand over the Hapless Habs. Really nothing else to say, The Bruins made the Habs their bitch last night. Lets just hope they can convey this type of energy and effort into the postseason. Go Bruins!
