Thomas was brilliant again, although he gave up one goal. It was a good shot though. He is quite simply the best goalie in the world right now. And I can't be happier about that.
Bergeron's line was definitely the top line of the evening. Bergy needs to log twenty minutes of ice time per game. He is playing at such a high level in every zone of the ice, and in all situations. He is the B's second best player. Marchand gets another goal (1st period wrap-around). He has been a huge surprise all season. He now has thirteen goals on the year. If he continues at this rate he'll be a 20-goal scorer by the end of the season.
Lucic scored the Bruins second goal (his 20th of the season; wow! Looch the goal-scorer.). It was a wicked shot from the left side of the ice, directly off a Krejci face-off. Krejci's line also played well. He had a scare though. I was worried he got hurt on that hit on the boards in the first period. Luckily, he came back and other than a few balancing issues, he played fairly well. That's good to see. I'd like him to get his goals going though.
Kampfer is my favorite player to watch (aside from Bergy and Timmy). He is becoming a very good defenseman in just his first thirty or so games. He will continue to get better. I look forward to watching him more and more. He has been playing well alongside Captain Zdeno Chara.
I like Tomas Vokoun of the Pathers. I wish he'd be on a better team. Every time I see him play, he stands out as a top performer. I'd like him to be on a better team, that would have a chance at the cup-- like the San Jose Sharks.
That's it until after the All-Star break. The B's are 28-15-7 (63 points; 3rd in the East).
