Some immediate reactions after the Bruins knocked off the Coyotes:
ALL HAIL DARTH QUAIDER - During the Stanley Cup finals last year, one of the NBC announcers called Adam McQuaid "one tough hombre." He proved that again tonight with an absolute beat down of Raffi Torres, who ran Andrew Ference into the boards. Raffi left the ice beaten and bloodied. Once again, the Bruins stood up for each other when it mattered.
TUUKKA DOES IT AGAIN - Rask won his fourth in a row. In those four games, he's faced 104 shots and stopped 103 of them, a save percentage a little over 99%. The Bruins just might have the 2 best goalies in the league.
LUCIC/HORTON/KREJCI DOMINATE - Of the four Boston lines, this line dominated and led the way all night. They kept the offensive zone pressure on the Coyotes the entire game. All three players stayed engaged and played hard throughout.
WHERE ARE YOU TYLER? - Tyler Seguin seems to be struggling some. He had a good game against Florida but struggled tonight. Bergeron and Marchand were around the puck all night; Tyler seemed to be one step behind.
WHO SELECTS THE STARS OF THE GAME? - How can you select 3 Coyotes as the stars of the game when you LOSE? It just doesn't make sense.
NEXT GAME: @ Dallas, December 31st. The Bruins will face their old teammate, Michael Ryder, who's had a good start with the Stars. He didn't always play up to his potential in Boston, but he sure showed up come playoff time. Thanks for helping bring the Cup back to Boston Michael. Good luck in your new home, just not on Saturday night.
