Bovino's Buzz: Punch me, Guido!
“Punch me, Guido! Punch me in the face! This is the most glorious day of my life!
“
Ok, well yes, I stole a quote from Cars. Cheesy? I think not, if you use it to describe Saturday’s contest versus Calgary. It sure felt like the most glorious day of my life, and for sure, the most glorious all season.
This game sums up every single way Boston Bruin hockey is meant to and should be played. Absolute domination in all facets of the game. A struggling powerplay saw changes to both units and boy did those changes make a difference. Pulling Satan and Ryder from the man advantages was pivotal. Ryder has got to go, he’s rust on the frame of this team and keeps eating away at it. Clearly, the Bruins sent a message Saturday that they are not going away.
Now to the bad news:
- Philadelphia won yesterday leapfrogging both Boston and Montreal. So tonight’s game versus Buffalo is equally as important as previous games vs. the Rangers and Thrashers.
- We don’t have Savard. Can the Bruins follow up Saturday’s game with an equal effort tonight at the Garden LIVE on VersusHD? (I believe they can)
- Unless Philly and Montreal drop their game a bit here, the Bruins are looking at a seventh or eighth seed. At least we make it right? But these seeds mean two things. 1) A game with the Caps, or 2) a game with the Pens. Neither contest is one I would want. Lets shoot for the sixth seed and Buffalo, eh?
Good News:
- Milan being Milan. Yes, finally, Looch is himself. Skating better and with more purpose than he did all season. Thunderous hits are rocking my surround sound once again.
- Sobotka. Man this guy has been huge. Bringing spark and grit on a consistent basis. This guy wants a permanent job with the big club. Give it to him!
- Mark Recchi. This guy is who every young player should strive to mimic. This guy has been nothing short of amazing all season.
- Daniel Paille, or to me and my friends, Pie-YAY. All YAY with this guy. Pivotal on the PK. A huge addition and the Bruins would not be the best PK in the league without him.
- Captain Zdeno! Showing us why he wears the “C”. Leadership, fight, and emotion.
Keep it up men, we’re in the mix! Remember last year, use that as fuel.
Enjoy the Bruins, they’re the only Bruins we’ve got!
