Bruins Win (No really!)

The Bruins seemed like a completely different team last night when they took on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Boston came out with something to prove and managed to actually play a full 60 minutes. Glen Murray got the Bruins rolling with 2 quick power play goals and the Bruins never looked back. Patrice Bergeron, Shawn McEachern, and Sergei Samsonov added the rest of the offense for the B's as they took the game 5-1. Andrew Raycroft got the nod and despite a very slow first period, he played like the Raycroft of old when called upon late in the game.

Side Note: Man I hate scalpers and Leaf fans. Just out of curiosity I priced out what tickets would have cost off scalpers. I managed to talk one of those fine, upstanding gentlemen of society down from $180 to $140 for 2 purple tickets. Now this isn't all that bad considering the tickets are worth about $100 face value for the pair. So I took this fine gentlemen's "business" card (and I use the term business extremely loosely!) and I went to the bank machine to get some cash out (for some reason I didn't have the $140 in my wallet while walking around Toronto ...no really). Once returning to this guy's "office" he let me know he no longer had the tickets, but I could upgrade to green seats...for a price. What a piece of crap ass scum. Ah well, it just goes to show what is wrong with the game of hockey in Toronto. I went home and watched the game with my girl, had a few beers, ate a great dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the victory. Funny how it is that when the Bruins win, Leaf fans are quite hard to find. The cell phone stays quiet, the inbox receives no new mail and the visits to the office are few and far between. It kinda reminds me of trying to find hockey fans in the city of Toronto in May, the Leafs are long eliminated and there is a Jays bandwagon ready to be hopped on.
