bruins 6 - ducks 0

The Bruins had one of those games where every bounce went their way, and practically everything they threw at the net found the twine - regardless of which goalie the Ducks were relying on at the time.

Matt Hunwick returned from the AHL to get the B's first goal, and the torrent started shortly thereafter: Michael Ryder for two, Chuck Kobasew for two, and Bitz getting a nice goal top shelf, while being harrassed by defenders.

It was also quite a chippy affair - George Parros scrapped with Shawn Thornton, and a few minutes later, Lucic got punched and then laid a few to the head of Mike Brown. I don't know if that counts, because he's basically just punching a helmet, but it certainly looked impressive.

I guess that's the point - I really don't know...

Despite all of this, the story of the night, so often the case, was the play of Tim Thomas. His shutout brings his total to four for the season, and even with the Bruins' recent losses, he still leads the league in both save percentage and goals against average.
