Game Notes:

- As of this posting there is no official word on Tuukka Rask for today's game, but I would fully expect Tim Thomas to be in net again today.

- This is a big test for the Bruins, they have been playing better lately, winning 6 of their last 7, including 5 in a row on the road.

- Face off is at 3:00.

No kidding. Why does he continue to get the ice time he does when he plays like garbage? I just don’t understand it. Stop the bleeding already.
