11/26 - @ Flyers


Whatever happened at Claude Julien's practice yesterday was super-effective. For the first period, the Bruins outplayed the Flyers in every facet of the game. Maybe there were a few lucky bounces, but this wasn't the same team from Saturday night. Glen Murray has finally hit his stride, Glen Metropolit is filling in admirably for Patrice Bergeron, and Matt Hunwick is doing a nice job back on the point. Tuukka Rask was good enough in his second NHL start though its obvious he isn't ready to carry the load yet. The main downer was the PK, which was horrendous allowing all three goals. This is an area that desperately needs improvement.

*The Flyers continue to be the dirtiest team in the league as Scott Hartnell put an awful hit on Andrew Alberts who left the game. Hartnell was ejected and hopefully suspension will follow. I think it should be steeper than Jones on Bergy since this hit was far more deliberate. The Broad Street Bullies are defiantly back.

* Jack Edwards could have used a deer tranquilizer or three in the booth tonight. He completely overreacted to a stat inaccuracy about hits, and continues to act like he knows everything about everything.
