Rask Saves The Day As Bruins Top Panthers 4-1



2 U's 2 K's 2 Points! Tuuka Rask comes up big today saving 29 shots as the Bruins were playing terrible with the turnovers but Rask bailed them out. Zdeno Chara started off the scoring with a slap shot that beat Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen. Patrice Bergaron scored from a beutiful play by Marchand and Seguin, possibly one of the hottest lines in the NHL. Shawn Matthias would score a short handed goal(first shortie Bruins allowed this season) on a highlight reel goal as he got tripped up with Dougie Hamilton got up and scored. The Bruins had a lifeless second period and it looked like it was going to be another lead blown but Shawn Thorton got his own rebound and made it back a 2 goal game. Bergy would add an empty netter and that was that. Lets look at the stats:

Tuukka Rask: 29 out of 30 shots saved
Patrice Bergaron: 2 goals
Shawn Thorton: 1 goal
Zdeno Chara: 1 goal
Brad Marchand: 2 assists

A win is a win but we arent going to win if we play like this against good teams. Next up the struggling Washington Capitals.
