Friday Morning Hockey Surprise

The Bruins are on the west coast this week. That means Robbie has no knowledge of what's going on in the games until the next morning. My days of staying up all night are long gone. I was in bed, sound asleep, before the puck was dropped.

They played the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday and lost. Not surprising. Last night they were playing the San Jose Sharks. I expected to check the score this morning and see another loss.

Shock!

They won 2-1 in a shoot out with Zdeno Chara scoring the shoot out winner! Oh what a happy morning surprise!

Of course David Krejci didn't play. He's out with an undisclosed injury. That means the top three centers on the Bruins roster are all out with injuries. Marc Savard is out with a knee injury. Patrice Bergeron is out with a broken thumb.

372 year old Mark Recchi was the #1 center last night. He's actually a winger. Vladimir Sobotka, who started the year in Providence, was the number two center, followed by Steve Begin and Trent Whitfield. One does not expect to win the Stanley Cup with a line up like that.

Please come back, oh our much missed center ice men. Please come back.

But still, 'grats for beating the Sharks. Nice going. Now stick it to the Kings on Saturday!
