Un tour du chapeau de Marc Savard et les Bruins l'emportent, 7-2

Enough said. And I would like to point out that I asked Rex to score a goal on Twitter, and he did, so that means that I CONTROL THE UNIVERSE.

Has Komisarek ever mouthed off to Chara without skating backwards? SoSH. Answer: no, because that would require that he have balls.

I stated in a couple articles earlier that I wanted to stay in Boston for the rest of my career. Looks like I’m going to have that chance. So I’m happy about that. Over the last few years, I’ve watched this town grow back into a hockey town. Hopefully our goal as a team and a staff comes true that we can bring a Cup here to Boston.

Copious amounts of Byron Bitz also acceptable. (Steve Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images)

I hate shootouts, I hate the Devils, I hate Martin Brodeur, and I hate losing. But I will take copious amounts of Blake Wheeler any way I can get it. (Steve Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images)

Boston Bruins Blog - Thornton helps Bruins' cause in many ways - ESPN Boston

Thornton is one of those players you classify as a “glue guy” — a rare ego-less, do-anything athlete in pro sports — that every team needs. And that’s not just because he forges off-ice chemistry between teammates with events like his Thanksgiving dinner.

Take the night a few weeks ago when the first-place Sabres were in town. With Boston protecting a lead, gritty 6-foot-4, 229-pound Buffalo forward Paul Gaustad rear-ended Bruins forward Byron Bitz in the corner. Bitz got to his feet in the blink of an eye, but the 6-3, 200-pound second-year player didn’t get a chance to defend himself: Thornton (6-2, 217) had already begun to introduce his fists to Gaustad’s face.

“You can’t say enough about the job [he does]. He’ll do anything for any of us. He’s a good teammate,” Bitz said after the Buffalo game.
