The Bruins did what they have been doing all season last game. They had a lead going late into the game and they blew it. They also struggled to score all game, putting up only 1 goal. We can play the blame game, but if the Bruins want to salvage this season they can't afford to do that.
Luckily Toronto is one of the worst teams in the league (which is why it is awesome we have their 1st round pick). The Maple Leafs are the Eastern Conference's last-place team, and have dropped 6 in a row on the road. That would be a lot more comforting if it hadn't been more than two months since the Boston Bruins won a home game. If they lose tonight they will tie the longest home losing streak in Bruins history (11).
The Bruins didn't add any forwards before Wednesday's trade deadline, although they're hoping the acquisition of defenseman Dennis Seidenberg will help. So, what does he bring to the table? Well, he has 23 points and an NHL-best 179 blocked shots in 62 games. So, hopefully that makes life easier for the goalies.
Game starts 7PM on NESN. Tim Thomas will be in net tonight.
