Bruins lost two to the Sens this weekend. Last night was a pretty tight shootout victory. I thought Timmy "Sportmask" Thomas was pretty good in both games. The Bruins could easily have stolen both games from the Sens, but they were in the box far too often. Corvo got a ton of ice time last night and he looked good. It seemed as if he was paired with both Redden and Richardson, because of all the powerplay time. So, double his normal minutes. Richardson has been surprisingly effective. He's old and relatively slow, but cagey vets on defense can be sneaky effective. (And he's still got fighting skills; nothing like getting beat up by grandpa.) Foligno is now on the 4th line, with McAmmond back. I think they send him down to Binghamton when Spezza gets healthy. Fisher had a very solid weekend and lots of minutes. I think he had 3 goals?
The shootout was not good to Thomas. Alfie beat him low blocker, and after getting beat, Timmy missed twice swinging at puck to bat it out of the net, not a good sign. Vermette put a pretty good 5-hole move on him, that banked off his leg and in. Gerber stopped two. Game over. Not the greatest game by Ottawa, but they have been good enough to beat teams and that's what it's all about. Winning when your A game isn't there.
