The Bruins take on the Maple Leafs tonight for their last game of the month of November. And while yes, technically they have a loss under their belts this month, it's a fake loss. Shootouts are wicked lame. They lasted through regulation and OT against the Red Wings. Basically that game was a tie. The Bruins' record is 12-0-1, and they have the opportunity to make this a (regulation) loss-less month.
Considering where we were a month ago...wow.
After the jump, two new coaches aren't as lucky as the last new coach, Maple Leaf Gardens is now a grocery store, and Teemu Selanne is a sad panda...
