At The Right Time

The Bruins played a great game last night against the Thrashers, and it couldn't have come more at a perfect time. Coming into the game people were saying this was the biggest game of the Atlanta Thrashers franchise, they were in the ninth place only one point behind the Bruins.

The Bruins came out with energy, and once they took the early lead they never looked back. Tuukka Rask didn't face to many challenges but he still was great. His Biggest save of the night was when he stopped Colby Armstrong's penalty shot at a critical point in the game. At the time the Bruins were up 2-0 but if Armstrong scored it would have put them right back in it, and they would have had momentum. That was probably the turning point of the game.

Since Rask was good between the pipes he got backed up by David Krejci, and Milan Lucic. They both had really good games, and are starting to break out when they are needed the most.

There was one bad thing that came out of yesterdays game. The power play still is a big problem for them right now, without Marc Savard they are 0-18. That stat just goes to show how valuable Savard is to this team.

After last nights knockout punch from the Bruins, I would be very surprised if the Thrashers would be able to re-group. The way they got out play in front of their half filled arena was just embarrassing. But last week we were all saying the Bruins weren't going to make the playoffs, and now it is a completely different story, so you never know.

The Bruins are only in eighth place in the eastern conference, but are only one point behind the seventh and sixth place teams (Montreal, and Philadelphia). If the Bruins come out and keep playing the same way, they will have no problem making the playoffs.
