Bruins @ Canes

[jb_online]

Carolina defeats the defending Stanley Cup Champions for the third consecutive time this season and lead the series 3-0. Jiri Tlusty screens Tim Thomas for two of the three full strength goals and Staal adds the empty netter to continue his impressive scoring streak to 5 games. Ward continues to face more pucks than anyone else and only his outstanding ability to keep those pucks out of the net allowed the Canes to win. Harrison's strong wrist shot from the blue line helped, too.

The Storm Squad is happy and that makes everyone very happy.

Goals: Dwyer, Faulk, Harrison, Staal.

Assists: Sutter, Brent.

WIN: Wardo LOSS: Thomas

Stops-SOG: Ward - 33-35 (.943), Thomas 17-20 (.850)

Penalties:

CAR 3 (Allen - slashing, Staal - elbowing, Samson - tripping)

BOS 1 (Lucic - slashing)

My 3 stars:

3: Ward

2: Faulk (goal, +2)

1: Harrison (game winning goal, +2)

HM: Tlusty - was a constant presence in front of Thomas and the goal. Thomas is an elite goalie and the best way to score is with traffic in his face. Tlusty seemed to plant himself there when the Canes were on the attack and his efforts sealed the win.

It just makes no sense to me how we're not having a good year but can beat the defending Stanley Cup Champs 3 times in a row.

[Sapper]

Faulk's goal was fantastic!

Looking forward to 50% off pizza for the games tomorrow.

We are a really streaky team this year. IDK. Some nights our passing is on, others it's not.

I think Cpt. Kirk will turn out to be a good coach. Right now we are just trying a crap-ton of different things with the lines.

It will be interesting to see what our team looks like next year with all these rookies getting good playing time this year. A few of them have really stepped up and showed they have what it takes to be a staple in the lineup.
