sabres 3 - bruins 2

The Bruins let the Sabres jump out to a 2-0 lead and ended up trying to play catch up because of it.

Generally, the B's play an attacking style of game, forechecking and pressing the play into their defensive system (which naturally then fuels the offense). Because of this aggressive style, the Bruins were able to overcome their sluggish first-period play, and began mounting a comeback - clawing back into the game with goals from Matt Hunwick and Phil Kessel.

However it was a shorthanded goal from Jochen Hecht, scored 30 seconds after Hunwick tied the game, that finished the Bruins night.

This was the first time in the last 10 games, where the Bruins have finished without gaining at least a point, but Kessel extended his point streak to 7 games.

Yep, but looking at last night's 7-2 win, maybe the flood is going the other way?

Pleeeeease.....
