Really tough game for the Bruins last night as they lost in a shootout 3-2. To be honest I really didn't get what the Bruins were doing in their shootout. They sent up Blake Wheeler (who scored), then Bergeron, and P.J. Axelsson. I am sorry, but when you have guys like Savard and Kessel on the bench and an opportunity to win the game, you put the puck in their hands. Kessel finally got his shot, after P.J. ruined the chance to end the game. Kessel missed, and the Predators burned Manny Fernandez to get the win.
Boston really struggled for most of the game. They finally came alive in the 3rd period when they tied the game at 2 when Zdeno Chara's goal with 1:16 left in regulation. Boston needs to wake up their goal scorers, because if they can't soon they they are going to have to make a trade to get some kind of goal scorer in here. This was Boston's 4th straight loss (even though they still get a point for this), and they just don't seem to have that swagger that they had a month ago. You have to wonder if all the injuries suring the season have finally worn down the Bruins...
