B's Keep Rolling Toward The Playoffs


The Boston Bruins were victorious again last night, defeating the 2nd place Ottawa Senators 4-0. The game was a hard hitting affair as early on several Boston Bruins made their presence known on the ice. Undaunted by being benched during his last game, Bruins Goalie Tim Thomas posted his sixth career shutout, making 29 saves.

David Krejci registered his 1st career goal off of a rebound with 2:37 left on the clock in the 1st period.

“Reich took it and we went in three on two,” said Krejci. “He made a pass to Shaef. Schaef took it to the net. Looch and I went hard to the net.”

Thomas made a spectacular ranging save, going from right to left to rob the Senators' Daniel Alfreddson during the third period. Although the goal was reviewed, it was correctly ruled a no goal as the B's held on for the shutout victory.

In perhaps their most complete effort of the season, the Bruins showed that they can beat a team that is considered a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. This should help them on Thursday as they take on the 4th place Pittsburgh Penguins who should be buoyed by the acquisition of Marian Hossa at the trading deadline.
