So I probably should of wrote this last night after arguably one of the best wins of the year but better late than never. Last night proved that the B's could keep up with the best of them. They played a great game most of their passes were crisp, most of their shots were quality shots and on net, the goal tending was once again like we have seen ALL year long GREAT. Timmy T was excellent in between the pipes making great saves and keeping the B's in the game throughout. Yes their was a few incidents were Thomas was sporadic and out of place but like ALWAYS made the saves when he needed to. Defense was again crisp, they kept their composer on the penalty kill and played a tight tight game not letting Stamkos and St Louis get too many quality shots. I thought the turning point of the game was the HUGE penalty kill on the 5-3 Bergeron was big and Thomas made some good saves. In the 3rd their was a couple of big hits that kinda put a little bit more spring to the B's legs made by Boychuk, 1 was the hip check on the defensive zone then a couple of shifts later another one around center ice. I need to give credit to the zebras on the Lucic goal and keeping the whistle away once the piles of bodies starting falling in front of Smith ( who by the way had a spectacular game ). Lucic did take a very good shot from a tough angle and with someone standing in front of the net. So in conclusion to my 2nd day of blogging I'm going to give you my 3 stars of the game and at least 1 disappointment. 3rd Star = Penalty Killing Unit / 2nd Star=Thomas / And 1st Star= Lucic (No Surprise)
DISAPPOINTMENT = Power Play although it is looking a LOT better they are still 0-for 14?
Till Next Time,
The B's Knees
I give you 5 stars *****
