Bruins Finish Amazingly Strong in One of their Best Regular Seasons!

Winning 6-2 over the Islanders last night, with Kessel earning a fantastic hat trick with a breakaway at the end of the third. With last night’s win, the Bruins proved that they were and are a force to be reckoned with this season! As if we didn’t already know that

Last Game of the Season!!

Before the Playoffs that is!! Tonight at 5PM, B’s take on the Islanders in the final game of the 08-09 hockey season! Lets finish strong boys!

.

Also…PLEASE TELL ME YOU GUYS WATCHED THE GAME ON THURSDAY! (AND NOT YESTERDAY’S! As much as I love the black and gold, I couldn’t watch the awfulness that was yesterday’s game against the Sabres). Bruins fought the Canadiens (literally!) in the most exciting, fast-paced, pull-no-punches battle royale I have ever seen! But that’s all we can expect from the bitter rivals as Playoffs loom every closer (Bruins are in first, duh; Canadiens are in 8th). The final score was 5-4 after Recchi scored off a great pass from Bergeron at 2:18 in overtime. But that wasn’t even the most exciting part! Canadiens were down 1-0 after the first but earned four goals in the second, riling Boston fans and causing the B’s to retaliate with 2 goals in the middle period, leaving it 4-3 Montreal going into the third. B’s tied it up in the final period and went into the overtime, where Recchi saved us yet again. That guy can play!

For your enjoyment, and a quick history lesson, is a video showing just how far back the Bruins and Canadien rivalry extends. In the 1970s, a Bruin trips a Canadien in the B’s endzone and a bench-clearing brawl ensues, even involving the fans!! Check it out:

Once again, last game of the season is tonight at 5PM against the Islanders. Bring it on!
