They are both rookies in the National Hockey League playoffs. Carey Price is a rookie in every sense of the word. Tim Thomas is a journeyman veteran in the NHL but a first-timer in the second season. With the exceptions of the first 2:02 of the first period in the first game in which a jittery lot of Bruins gave up two quick goals, the “rookies” have played like anything but. Through the first three games, Thomas has allowed 8 goals and Price just 5. No reason to suspect that will change. And both clubs hope that it will remain the same as well. In games 2 and three, Thomas is the main reason the Bruins have gotten themselves back in the series. Despite the loss in game 2 Thomas made some terrific saves to allow the Bruins to come back from a 2-0 deficit to tie it and send it into overtime. In game three he again made several key stops especially in the third period and overtime before the Schaefer, Wideman, Savard firm clicked to win the game and send at least half the fans (not the Habs fans) at the garden, including your friendly Diehard, into a frenzy. Carey Price has been more than solid and showing a veteran steadiness to his goaltending. So far, he has shown no reason for Canadien management to regret their decision to trade Cristobal Huet at the deadline. Game four tonight as the Boston looks to even the series and Montreal wants to take a stranglehold on it.
The sea of Red is in the building already and the atmosphere will again be electric. Turn on your radio to WBZ NewsRadio 1030 or log onto wbz1030.com and hear Dave Goucher and Bob Beers for the call of the game from the “Garden”.
A slow start did not stop the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
The Bruins overcame an early 4-2 deficit to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 7-4. It was Boston's sixth straight win at home.
Zdeno Chara and Chuck Kobasew each scored two goals, Marc Savard had a goal and three assists to lead the Bruins.
The Maple Leafs were pressing for a tying score during the second period Monday night and it seemed only a matter of time before they would get it.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Bruin Michael Ryder raced into the Toronto end, dragged the puck around a defender and scored with a high wrist shot. Boston hung on for a 3-2 win.
Steve Babineau, the Boston Bruins official photographer, now in his 35th year, tells all through the lens of his cameras. He talks with WBZ's Tom Cuddy.
Nigel Dawes and Markus Naslund wiped out New York's two-goal deficit in the closing minutes of the third period, and Chris Drury scored the lone goal in the shootout to give the Rangers a 3-2 win over the Bruins at Madison Square Garden.
The Bruins enjoyed a rare lopsided victory against the Montreal Canadiens and ended a long drought in the process.
Marco Sturm and Stephane Yelle each scored two goals and Boston snapped a 12-game losing streak against Montreal with a 6-1 victory Thursday night.
Boston's Tim Thomas needed some help from P.J. Axelsson to win a goaltending duel with Chicago's Nikolai Khabibulin.
Axelsson scored in the third round of the shootout to give the Bruins a 2-1 victory Wednesday night. He faked Khabibulin to the ice, then lifted in a backhand shot.
Chuck Kobasew didn't miss a beat.
The forward marked his long-awaited return to the Bruins lineup with a goal and an assist, and Manny Fernandez made 32 saves in Boston's 3-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.
Blake Wheeler gave Boston fans a new number pay attention to.
Hours after changing his uniform number, Wheeler had his first three-goal game in the NHL to help the Bruins beat Toronto 5-2 on Thursday night.
The Boston Bruins open the 2008-09 season with four road games- the first in Colorado on October 9 - before getting their home season underway on October 20 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Boston Bruins will begin the 2008-09 NHL season on the road with a four city excursion before gracing home ice at the T.D. Banknorth Garden.
The Bruins will begin the new campaign in Colorado on Thursday, October 9, at 10 p.m. ET.
