Game 60 Recap: BRUINS 3 "BOLTS" 4 POINTLESS FLORIDA ROAD TRIP

"Every team has circled us. We've got to circle them back."
- Doc Rivers, Celtics Coach. (Paraphrase)

Well, there goes another one. The Bruins are 4-4-2 in their last 10. They've dropped 6 of the last 7, haven't played at home in 2 weeks, and still have the league's best road record. This is a slump. Let's go through some goals, and then move on.

"Effort is good, points count."
- Zdeno Chara, paraphrase


- Claude Julien, Coach

The game starts off on a high note: Kessel getting his first goal since he got mono:

1-0. Kessel!

Then the Lightning take over for 15 seconds about 2 minutes later.
Halpern.
1-1.
Hall.
1-2.

The Bruins remember what a power play is, and Ference-Wideman-Savard-Ference-Net.

2-2. Hey, a powerplay goal! Woohoo!

Mark Recchi scores one halfway through the second period.
2-3. Ugh.

Then with 5 minutes left in the second, the Bruins rush out of their own zone. Kobasew-Chara-Net.

3-3. Nice going there, Chara.

The 3rd period is a whole lotta back and forth, and then Kessel-Ramo-Kessel-neRAMO.

3-3. Wow, what a save.

The Bruins spend 4 of the last 5 minutes on the PK, thanks to Tampa's crap boards giving all kinds of funny bounces, including one that involves Ference passing it to Wideman, but the puck decides it will crawl up the glass and out instead.
3-4. Prospal.

Loss.

Ughh.

vs TBL:
Record: 40-12-8 (L 2)
Away: 21-8-4 (L 2)
L10: 4-4-2
February: 4-4-2
GO BRUINS!
