The Bruins are in Ottawa tonight to take on the Ottawa Senators. The Senators have surprised everyone by jumping out of the gate with a 5-2-1 record. The injury-plagued B's will try to build off of a strong performance on Thursday night against Philadelphia (4-3 shootout loss). Meanwhile, the Sens will shoot to extend their winning streak to three games.

Ill be rocking my Thorton shirt once again

Im happy to hear that Shawn should be back tonight. I imagine he underwent extensive physical therapy, including late night chats about his feelings and getting the girls together to watch Legally Blonde, to have his vagina feeling strong again.
