For the second straight night, Tim Thomas posted a shutout - a feat that has not been accomplished since Andy Moog in the early 90s (and really, any comparison to Moog is a compliment to a Bruins keeper).Thomas shut the door on the Canucks, stopping 30 shots, often making saves that nobody could have expected him to make.
Michael Ryder potted the game's only goal, on a nice shot while cruising through the high-slot. As you may have noticed, I like it when (ex-Hab) Ryder does well, because it really seems to aggravate the Habs fans I'm surrounded by.
The win brings the Bruins to 5-2-3, and affords them a day of rest before taking on the streaky Flames in Calgary on Thursday. That could be a tough game for the B's, as Calgary (when playing well) combines speed, grit and scoring with crazy goaltending.
Also of note in last night's game - Milan Lucic was presented with another Memorial Cup ring from his time as Captain (and MVP) of the Vancouver Giants. His original ring was stolen from his parent's house.
