An early treat for fans today as the two top teams in the East battle at an early 1:00 et start. The surging Caps travel to Beantown to take on the Bruins. After enduring a mini-slump, the East leading Bruins have once again caught fire having scored 6 goals in each of their last two wins. The latter was a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of the Charlie Conway and Adam Banks lead Ducks of Anaheim.
Brashy and Bitzy have a dance
Washington on the other hand has been on fire pretty much the whole second half of the season, and now find themselves inching closer and closer to the Bruins for first place in the East. The Bench Boss’s advice is to keep an eye on the special teams matchup. Ovechkin, Semin, Backstrom and Green are the most dynamic foursome any coach has the luxury to put on the ice with the man advantage (with all due respect to Detroit), so it will be interesting to see if Thomas, Chara and Co. can shut them down. I don’t know if they can but I am still predicting a 4-3 Bruins win.
