CAN'T SCORE IF YOU DON'T SHOOT & OTHER BRUINS THOUGHTS

It took the Bruins just over 12 minutes into the first period to get their first shot on net.  Since Patrice Bergeron's shot ended up in the net, the Bruins had the first lead of the game. 
Unfortunately, a lethargic second period coupled with losing Bergeron for a significant amount of time resulted in a two goal swing heading into the second intermission.  After forty minutes of ice time the Bruins had only taken 9 shots.  What made this anemic offense even more pathetic was the fact that the Bruins had two powerplays during the second period. 
While the third period wasn't anything to write home about, the Bruins almost managed to double their number of shots and knot the score back up.  Since the final score of the game was 2-1, the last burst of offensive energy would yield and results.  After Bergeron drew a penalty with 2:34 left to play, Claude went for the win by pulling Tuukka giving the Bruins a 6 on 4 advantage.  Although the extra two men would bring life to the offense it was short lived as Chara got called for goalie interference. 

Having just finished watching the game, here are some of my thoughts:

  • When was the last time Chara standing in front of an opposing goalie resulted in a Bruins' goal?  He seems to have better luck blocking Rask's view in my opinion.
  • Is there a cooler last name than Abdelkader?
  • I'd like to see more Marchand and less Lucic on powerplays.
  • Speaking of Lucic, did you know he had 71 giveaways last season?  That was 20 more than Marchand.  When it comes to takeaways, Marchand had 46 (second to Bergeron's 49).
  • Rask is looking sharp already (saved 22 of 24 shots, very few of which were easy).
