bruins 2 - devils 0

Tim Thomas was his flappy but unflappable self in a shut0ut win against the Devils last night. The goaltending battle was impressive, as Scott Clemmensen continues his (some would say) unexpectedly strong performance in the wake of Martin Brodeur's injury, and Tim Thomas again showed why he's among the league's leading goaltenders.

Milan Lucic got the winning goal in the third period and some breathing room was provided by David Krejci, who potted an empty net goal.

Phil Kessel's point streak officially came to an end at 18 games, meaning he'll just have to score in the next 20 games to tie Adam Oates' record. You wanna get on that, Phil?

With this impressive, hard-fought win the Bruins have given a little present to every B's fan out there, each of whom has struggled in their own way through years of under-acheivement or tough-breaks.

They come from a far off land and brought gifts of Black, White and Gold (none of this Myrhh business), and we're wise men for accepting it!

Happy Holidays to my readers. Thanks for your continued support.

Go B's Go!
