bruins 4 - panthers 2

Given the amount of attention that will be paid to the Bruins game here tomorrow night (coupled with the retirement of Patrick Roy's 33 at the Bell Centre), it would be pretty easy for the Bruins and Bruins faithful to overlook tonight's match against the Panthers.

But a strong effort from the Bruins managed to secure another home win for the Black, White and Gold.

Marc Savard, David Krejci and Dennis Wideman all left the game for short spells with injuries, but fortunately returned and continued to make their presence felt. Savard had a goal and an assist, while Krejci and Wideman had a goal and assist respectively.

I should mention that while I harbour no ill feelings in particular toward the Panthers, I take great pleasure in watching (former Hab) Richard Zednick lose. I don't really know why...I think it's because of the playoffs in 2001-2002...which had some good moments too.

At any rate, this was a solid, up-tempo game from the B's, and brings them within two points of first in the Eastern Conference with three games in hand.
