The slide continued yesterday for the Bruins, as they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3. The sad thing is the Bruins out played Tampa in this game. Boston had 43 shots on goal, but were only able to score 3 times, while Tampa had 18 shots, but got 4 past Manny Fernandez. Right now, the Bruins need someone to step up and be able to finish a play. Kessel is just getting stuffed, though it looks like he is getting his chances. Fans will continue clamoring for a trade, but I am not so sure if that is the answer, because it's not like the Bruins aren't getting their chances, and I think they just might be a bit unlucky.
Boston's goals came from Chara, Ference, and Kessel. The game was tied till Vaclav Prospal beat Manny Fernandez on a power play with 1:33 left to lift the Lightning past Bruins. Tampa had to be pumped since they have had a terrible year, and now have beat the #1 team in the East. Boston needs to find a way to convert on all their shots. Last game the Bruins had 41 shots, and didn't score at all. That means that have had 84 shots in the last 2 games with only 3 goals to show for it. Manny had a bad game, but with all those chances the Bruins should have been able to still win.
