Things are starting to look bleak after the B's drop three straight, a home-and-home against Detroit, then a tough home loss against the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs. As if to add insult to the loss, Phil Kessel (the ex-Boston Bruin) was the one who scored two goals, along with Mikhail Grabrovski's two goals, to defeat the slumping B's.
Luckily, the Buffalo Sabres beat the Montreal Canadiens last night so now the Bruins are tied for 1st in the Northeast Division instead of dropping to 2nd place. They are still in 3rd place in the Eastern conference. However, they'll need to improve if they want to stay there. It's clear that the Bruins need a change. I'm not sure Chris Kelly (Center, acquired from Ottawa for the B's second round draft pick next year) will be enough. Kelly was picked up immediately following the game last night. We shall see if he adds anything to the Bruins line-up. I think there's more work to be done on Peter Chiarelli's (Bruins General Manager) behave.
TRADE WHEELER!!!!

Thoughts on the Game: BOSTON BRUINS - Game 54 vs. Montreal Canadiens (at TD Garden)
Here's my quick thoughts on the game.
First of all, it was an amazing game. It provided a vast amount of entertainment value that I'm sure EVERYONE was pleased with.
I actually attended the previous two Bruins games at the TD Garden. The first against the Dallas Stars was excellent. The next vs. the San Jose Sharks was disappointing. But this game...WOW! I wish I could have been there. It was a great one.
Timmy shaved his stache. He played well with it, but I'm glad to see it go. The clean shaven look is much better on him.
Caron got called up from the P-Bruins (Providence; AHL Bruins affiliate). This was his first game back since December 1st. This was Zach Hamill's second straight game with the B's.
The first goal was scored by Brad Marchand, with stellar passing from Bergeron and Recchi. That's easily the B's top line.
The first period had a good, quick pace that picked up with tension and aggression.
Horton had a tremendous game. Not only did he get a goal (rare as of late), not only did he get five points (1 goal, 4 assists), but his level of physicality was raised greatly. He was checking and whipping his body around, including planting P.K. Subban, pummeling him to the ground and taking his stick. Truly awesome stuff.
There was a slower pace, and clear lack of energy, out of the first intermission.
I love Micheal Ryder's move he made on his first goal to beat Carey Price (Bruins fourth goal). Good pass from Hamill.
I can't believe Timmy got into a fight. Not much of a battle but still fun to see.
I love the big scrum and all the fights. The intensity has certainly returned to this rivalry.
FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 8 - Canadiens 6
Top 3 Stars:
1. Nathan Horton (Bruins - RW): 1 goal, 4 assists
2. Milan Lucic (Bruins - LW): 2 goals, 1 assist)
3. Micheal Ryder (Bruins - RW): 2 goals
