This Week for the B's

The Bruins seem to have sort of an easy week ahead of them.  Tonight they play the Minnesota Wild, which i don't think they should have any problem with.  Then the next two games are against the Coyotes and Devils.  I feel as if this is an easy scheduele and can really help them pull through in the the standings.  For any further details on the Bruins, here is the team website.

Where the B's Stand

As of right now, the Bruins are currently ranked as the #8 team in the National Hockey League.  Even though they have been playing great hockey, there has just been some teams playing a little bit better.  They are gaining momentum though, and I believe that they can pull through to become the #1 team in the NHL.

Bruins and Thrashers Brawl

On December 23, the Boston Bruins had a huge line brawl with the Atlanta Thrashers.  This mainly happened because the Bruins were dominant the whole game and the Thrashers had some frustration that they wanted to take out.  Here is the video.

Where They Stand

The Bruins remain in second place in their division and sixth place in the league.  In their division, they only stand behind the Montreal Canadiens, and only behind by twon wins.  By the way the Bruins are playing though, I think that they will catch up to them in the next few games.  They are cruising by every team they play, and most of their wins are blowouts.  I also believe that by the end of the season they will be the number one ranked team in the league.

Savard Returns

Marc Savard returns to the Bruins lineup tonight as they prepare to face the Tampa Bay Lightning.  He has been recovering from post-concussion syndrome, and is making his first on-ice appearance since last season's playoffs.  After missing the first 23 games of the Bruins' season, it should be interesting to see how he performs in tonights game.

When will Tuukka Rask see some ice time?

After letting up four goals in the Bruins season opener, Tuukka Rask hasn't seen much ice time.  This was against the Phoenix Coyotes, which is a team that Boston could have very easily beat.  Since his poor performance, the Bruins have Tim Thomas starting most of their games.  This is probably the best decision for them, because Thomas had a shutout performance in his opener and has blocked 95 of 97 shots, which makes this the best start of his career.  So the question is, will Rask start seeing ice time with Thomas playing this good? Or is it the best decision for the Bruins to keep starting Thomas?
