The Bruins notched an important win in an important contest against the Islanders yesterday afternoon at the Garden. After a very slow start for both team, the late second and third periods were pretty good. Glen Murray showed signs of life, getting his name on the score sheet and looking more mobile than usual in the process. Tim Thomas was very solid again, allowing only one goal late, but the Tank hung in for the win. This guy has to be in the All-Star Game, no questions asked. As Glen Metropolit scored the game winner Andy Brickley said Metropolit was the best tryout invitee in NHL history, take it easy Brick. Home and homes are always fun, so tonight should be another good one on the Island.
*Vladimir Sobotka will probably see his first NHL action in place of the dinged up Milan Lucic.
* Spectors Trade Site is reporting the Bruins are shopping for an experienced back-up goalie. I'm not sure that should be on the top of Peter Chiarelli's wish list. Even though Rask is young, he certainly can stay up, though after Toivonen and Raycroft, I understand his reluctance to rush young netminders.
