Bruins Caught In Hurricane

The Boston Bruins lost game 2 of their 7 game series with the Carolina Hurricanes tonight. The series now stands at an even 1-1 series tie. The Bruins were shut out by the STELLAR play of 'canes goalie Cam Ward. Despite multiple chances for the Bruins, Ward made save after save to keep the B's off the Board. Carolina takes the game 3-0, though many will say the rightful score was 4-0 with a very contriversial non-goal call in the second period.

The Bruins seemed to lack their physicality tonight. Notably absent was Chara, who kept top 'canes scorer Eric Staal off the board in game 1. Staal eluded Chara all night and came away with a goal and an assist. Also woeful for the Bruins was their powerplay, allowing a shorthanded goal and not coming through with a 5-4 goal. The series leaves Boston and continues Wednesday night in Carolina. Hopefully the Bruins will be able to bounce back from thier first loss of the post season.

On a side note, so far this post season the best beard award belong to Big Z, Zdeno Chara. Already a fearsome looking defenseman, the beard just adds to his wildman look on the ice. Awesome Z!
