BOSTON (AP) -- Tomas Kopecky broke a scoreless tie with 2:32 left and Jose Theodore stopped 40 shots as the Florida Panthers beat the Boston Bruins 2-0 on Thursday night and sent Tim Thomas to his first loss in 11 games. It was the second shutout of the season for Theodore. Kris Versteeg added an empty-netter with 42 seconds left, outracing the Bruins to a loose puck and backhanding it into the net to clinch it. The Bruins dominated the scoring chances for most of the game, but Florida put pressure on Thomas in the last 5 minutes and then struck quickly when Thomas left a rebound in front of the net. Sean Bergenheim skated over the puck and missed, but Kopecky followed up and put it in. The Bruins went all of November without losing a game in regulation, but they are 2-2 in December.

A lost that left B's fans with a few good things to take out of losing to the Jets, and by few, I mean a couple. And by the end of the night, you were left celebrating the fact that Tim Thomas' winning streak was still very much intact...

Jose Can You See?

Via Razzball Hockey  |  December 09, 2011
I love how NHL.com headlines always calls out random milestones like they actually mean something. Last night it was the immortal Jose Theodore.  What was his milestone you ask?  He was playing in his 600th career NHL game…  That’s it.  To put into perspective just how worthless and inconsiquential a milestone like that is:  He still needs 261 more starts to...

Top Goalie So Far This Season

Via Kukla's Korner  |  December 10, 2011
Less than a week ago I picked Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings as the top goalie so far this season. He was the best of a crowded group of top goalies in part because of the high number of saves he has had to make with the Kings. Very quickly things have changed. Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins has emerged as the top goalie so far this season. Thomas has a .941 saves...

Bruins' Balanced Attack, Ability to Shut Down Star Players Giving Opponents Fits During Hot Streak

Via NESN.com  |  December 06, 2011
There's a lot of reasons for the Bruins' recent tear, so to pinpoint exactly why they've been so hot is difficult. Two reasons that are obvious, though, is the B's depth and their ability to keep the opposing team's best players in check. The Bruins are rolling out four solid lines this season, just as they did during their Stanley Cup run, and their defensive...

Thomas less than perfect

Via Boston.com  |  December 09, 2011
In the third period of last night’s 2-0 loss to the Panthers at TD Garden, Thomas booted out a Shawn Matthias shot, then placed the rebound in the net-front danger zone. Florida took advantage of Thomas’s rare misplay. Tomas Kopecky jammed the puck home at 17:28 for the game-winning goal.
