Tim Thomas improved to 7-0 last night, which is the best record for any Bruins goalie to start a season. Kind of amazing for a guy the Bruins couldn't beg teams to take this offseason.
The Bruins came out of fire scoring 3 goals in the first period against the Ryan Miller-less Buffalo Sabres. Bruins got goals from Ryder, Wheeler, Bergeron, Marchand, and an empty netter from Lucic.
The Bruins penalty is just unreal, not only are they shutting teams down, but last night they popped in two goals, while a man down. They're pressuring the puck well, hitting, and obvious Tim Thomas has been the anchor.
I really can't say a bad work about how anyone has been playing, and what is really scary is that this team is doing all this without Savard even being involved. I do have some concerns that when Sturm and Savard come back they could throw off the groove they are in, but then again they could just get better.
Buffalo is not a good team (0-5-1 at home), and with Ryan Miller out they are a terrible team, but how can you argue with 7-2 record. What is even more amazing is that they are undefeated on the road (5-0), but then again they had a better record on the road last season then at home.
Anyways, Bruins get back at it Friday when they once again play with the Washington Capitals.
