I knew the Bruins would score a lot of goals, but I don't think I was thinking 8. I certainly didn't think they would let up 5 goals either. Tim Thomas let up 5 goals through 2 periods, in by far his worst game of the season. The great thing about the Bruins, is that they can put a guy in like Manny Fernandez who is also near the top of the NHL in GAA. Fernandez was able to shut Toronto down in the 3rd, while Boston's scoring went crazy.
The Bruins almost blew a 4 goal lead, but the Bruins were able to rally around Fernandez to stop the bleeding. Krejci had a hat trick (first of his young career), and Kessel had 2 goals to extend his point streak to an amazing 16 games (longest in the NHL). The Bruins will need to play a lot better defensively if they want to do some serious damage the rest of the year. I don't think that will be a problem, as the Bruins are usually a very strong defensive team. I think the just had an off night.
Bruins game is on Saturday 1pm at home vs. Carolina
