The Bruins had a lot more emotion in the game than they have recently. They were much more physical with tons of hits, including two fights. One was Andrew Ference and old friend Benoit Pouliot and Milan Lucic fighting Keith Aulie, and yes I am going to say that we won both. Now, as for the scoring, there wasn't too much of it again, but hey it's s start. After a scoreless first period Dennis Seidenburg ripped a slapshot from the blue line, and with almost a double screen in front, he was able to beat Lindback stick side. Our second goal was even better. Campbell shot a pass right through the middle of the offensive zone to Paille on the other side and he was able to put it in the back of the net for a one timer that just squeezed through the small opening that was there. That was a great goal, but that would be it as the Bruins win 2-0. However Montreal also won against Winnipeg so we are still tied with them in points but we have a game in hand so we remain first in the division.
So, even though I would still like to see more offensive production, this win made me feel good seeing the emotion from players. Most notably Lucic, who was a lot more involved than we have seen him lately. Lindback was also partly the reason we were't able to convert on our other chances (cause we had a lot), as he was up to the task. Next up, a Caps team that is a lot better since the last time we versed them.
