Another lackluster performance by the Boston Bruins last night as they gave the Carolina Hurricanes their first win of the season. Cam Ward (26 saves) shut the door for most of the game until the Bruins found the back of the net in the third period. Tim Thomas (31 saves) had to make a few ridiculous saves just to keep some tallies off of the board for the Canes. Its early, but the chemistry just doesn't seem to be there yet.
The first goal was scored by Carolina's Joni Pitkanen when he got a shot pass Thomas on a power-play. Then Old friend Tomas Kaberle was credited with an assist on the Canes first goal....typical.
It didn't take long into the third period for the Hurricanes to add another goal to their total as Anthony Stewart found the back of the net at 3:42 while Thomas although he was being screened, I think he could have stopped this shot. The Bruins found themselves down by two goals and it really wasn't looking too promising. However, not even thirty seconds later at 4:07 Tyler Seguin puts one right over Ward's shoulder after assists from Adam McQuaid and Nathan Horton. Seguin scoring is a great sign for things to come for the Bruins this season.
Once the the Canes scored their 3rd goal it was over. The Bruins turned the puck over which led to Jiri Tlusty goal. It was a pretty bad turnover, Thomas didn't have a chance. The Bruins were very shaky to even get the 2 goals in the first place. Marchand scored the second goal for the Bruins and the second of his season, but it was too little too late.
They take on my boy Patrick Kane and Chicago next.
