WHAAA???

As of the morning of Tuesday, December 11, the Boston effing Bruins have the second best record in the Eastern Conference. How the shit did that happen??


Welp, last night the Bruins managed a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres in which they were outshot 45-21. That vaulted them to just four points behind the division-leading Senators. 44 saves from Boston newbie goaltender Alex Auld (!!!) led the way, and goals came from Savard (he actually took a shot!), PJ Axelsson, Peter Schaefer and Glen Metropolit (weren't those last two guys career fourth-liners before this year, at best?!?) provided the scoring punch I was convinced this team didn't have.


I haven't watched much of the last few games, mostly because I know my brother doesn't want to be subjected to them. Of course, the Hollywood writers strike means the end of regular, quality television for a while (and the return of a true classic!!), and that may mean that the Bruins are worth watching, as long as the Celtics aren't on simultaneously. Of course, there's still the chance that the Bruins will manage 16 losses against the combined forces of Ottawa (talented) and Montreal (not so much), so this has a good chance of not lasting very long. Hopefully an anti-jinxing label on this post will do the trick. That or my continued ignorance of their games. The next one I turn on is certain to end in a 6-1 loss.
