Game Notes:

  • Matt Fraser has been recalled from Providence. SAVIOR OF THE FRANCHISE?
  • What we learned from the intrepid reporters at Bruins practice yesterday: the Canadiens' practice facility in Brossard is apparently really nice. Nicer than Wilmington. Nice that we have such a low bar to aim at.
  • Odds are the Bruins' lines won't change for tonight's game. Free trip to Montreal for Fraser? Free trip to Montreal for Fraser. Enjoy the poutine, kid.

NEVER FORGET:

Iginla's late goal was pretty cool.

Extra Skater Stats Preview

The Bruins continue to out-stat the Habs through game 3...just need a little help from the D on not screwing up Canadiens' opportunities.
