Broadway Blues: Bruins Shut Out for Second Time in Three Games, Fall 3-0 to New York

BOSTON, MA - FEBRUARY 14:  Ryan Callahan #24 of the New York Rangers is congratulated by teammate Marian Gaborik #10 after Callahan scored in the first period against the Boston Bruins on February 14, 2012 at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.  (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

Tuesday night, Boston played 20 great minutes,10 good ones, 20 mediocre ones and 10 bad ones.

It was the ten bad ones that did them in as Boston fell 3-0 to the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers.

Ryan Callahan scored his sixth goal in the last four games to lead the scoring off for New York. It would prove to be all the offense the Blueshirts needed, as they continued their hot play, winning their fourth game in a row and all but taking the season series from Boston.

There were moments of brilliance for the Black and Gold, many of them involving the kid wearing number 19. Seguin skated circles around the Rangers, but as is so often the case against New York, he and his teammates weren't able to find holes when they needed them.

Star-divide

Amid a series of line rotations that Claude Julien never would have thought up 12 months ago, the Bruins struggled to find their rhythm and continued their rocky play; Boston hasn't won consecutive games now for 33 days.

A series of strong second period shifts gave the Bruins hope, as they outshot New York 14-5 in the period, but left the ice with nothing to show for it.

Ryan McDonagh and Artem Anisimov had the second and third goals for New York, which won for the third straight time in Boston,

Henrik Lundqvist was again superb in net for New York, stopping each of the 42 Boston shots that he faced.

Midway through the third period, it appeared that Dennis Seidenberg had scored, but the shot landed in the apron netting and not the goal, and the goal was waved off.

should probably make a move. Nothing major, just a change of pace. Team has been in a “slump” for a month. Pouliot has been literally invisible. A third liner cannot be invisible on a Cup contending team.

don’t forget the fact that Horton is out and isn’t looking very good as far a returning and Corvo, Boychuk and Krejci are playing like they’re in minors again…..it’s not adding up at the wrong time.

there was one good play by pouliot

won the puck beneath the goal line, got it out front, created a chance. frickin’ lundqvist. my hope is that torts wears him down before the playoffs.

but yeah, let’s get some new blood in. just stir the pot a little.

please, accept the mystery

again the merlot line and bergy line brought it. everyone else was an individual effort.

i left thinking

“well maybe while I’m gone they’ll score six goals”

how naive of me.

i had forgotten.

IT’S CALLED BRUINS.

Carry On.

Very, very competitive game. Like playing against ourselves. Could watch our teams duke it out all the time, felt like the playoffs. Have a good one guys.

We can't buy a goal right now....

Hopefully we will make up for last night’s futility by taking it out on the Canadiens tonight. :)

it's frustrating

but we’ve also run into some absolute buzzsaws of goaltenders. lundqvist has been nasty all year, ryan miller has apparently woken up from his lucic-induced haze and cam ward might as well have been a brick wall. we’ll get it going again at the right time — not that i want to continue this 2012 swoon any longer than we have to…

please, accept the mystery

Pekka Rinne is also on a tear and we managed to beat him…barely

When was the last time the Bruins faced the backup goaltender and not the starter?

I can’t recall, it seems every game we have played, has been against the other teams #1 goaltender, which is one of those things that happen when you win the Stanley Cup..

yeah. really hate being a B’s fan in NY right now.
