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

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.

I hope Girardi becomes a hari krishna if the rangers play the bruins in the playoffs

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…

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.
