5 down 1 to go

RECAP

The Bruins handled the Oilers in a battle of the first two overall picks from last year. Rask was in goal and continued his decent form. He let in two goals that weren't great, but he played well enough for the Bs to look down a 3-2 win. Ryder scored a nifty goal to tie it in the first where he showed great poise on a loose puck in the slot.

His dopeness struck again later in the period with another great fake shot pass over to Horton who stuffed one into a wide open net giving the Bs a lead they would not surrender.

Then Peverley got the third goal making it 3-1 to be the first of the Boston new comers to light the lamp. It was actually a great play by the whole line. Kelly got an assist keep creating offense off a turnover getting the puck in zone to Peverley. Pev fed Ryder in the middle who worked the give and go right back to Peverley who skillfully pulled the puck on the backhand across the crease and tucked it home. Really a great play to watch all around.

Other than that a pretty cut and dry game. The Bruins D held the Oilers to 17 shots while peppering the men in blue with 40 of their own. Even though they trailed early and it got close again late the game never seemed out of control. Lucic had a good fight, its been a while and that was fun.

Tyler was back up to about 10 minutes. An improvement from last game. And even though Hall is playing 20 a game and has way more points they are terrible and we aren't and he was a minus 2 tonight so....suck it.
