The Bruins home woes have ended. If they had lost this game they would have tied the longest home losing streak ever by a Bruins team, but they won, so I guess this is good news. Still, how pumped can you be that you beat one of the worst teams in the league in a shootout. A win is a win, but I don't feel much better after it.
The good news is Tim Thomas looked a lot more like he did last season. Thomas made 24 saves, stopping Tyler Bozak with a pad save to end the shootout before pumping his glove to celebrate Boston's first win of 2010 in the TD Garden. The biggest saves might have come against former Bruin Phil Kessel, whom Thomas stopped at point-blank range 3 times in and again in the shootout.
Miroslav Satan scored a goal in regulation and the only goal of the shootout to give the Bruins the win (Johnny Boychuk also scored).
Hopefully this win will turns things around for the Bruins, but I'm not holding my breathe. The same problems they have had all season were still evident in this game (scoring), and unless the key players for Boston step up the Bruins will be lucky to make the playoffs.
