So what happened?The Pens played a good game tonight. The effort level was there. The results were not. Crosby and Staal fired wide on good scoring chances and one bounce towards the Bruins net just didn't go in for the Pens. Tim Thomas won this game for the Bruins. Marc Andre needs to do that for the Pens right now, because their offense just isn't there.Who scored?Nobody... again.Any surprises?Staal on the first line looked pretty good. That was the best line for the Pens as far as ...

Krejci back and Lucic skating.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:52:00 -0500

This some of the best news that I have gotten all week. Krejci back from his bout with H1N1 and Milan Lucic is back skating with the team and that should mean he will be playing in Bruins uniform very soon. With Lucic recovering from a broken finger I don't expect he will be getting into many fights though.

WILMINGTON - Bruins' center David Krejci returned to practice this morning at Ristuccia Arena for the first time since being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus last Wednesday. Krejci, who worked out on his own yesterday because the Bruins had a day off, missed Thursday and Saturday's games but could be back in the lineup tomorrow night when the Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Garden.

Michael Ryder did not skate. Coach Claude Julien said he was under the weather but was not suffering from H1N1.

Milan Lucic (broken right index finger) skated before practice in full gear with a puck and was out on the ice for about 40 minutes. Julien said he couldn't give a timetable for his return.

Krejci is now just aching to return

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500

The Bruins got back to work yesterday at Ristuccia Arena after a day off and there was a welcome sight on the ice. Center David Krejci returned after missing two games because of the H1N1 virus. Krejci was diagnosed last Wednesday and was isolated from the rest of the team.

Savard and Bruins in contract talks.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:21:00 -0500

The Boston Bruins better think long and hard, without Marc Savard in their line up they are having a tough time scoring goals, frankly they are not very good and are very boring to watch. This past season the Bruins let Phil Kessel go to Toronto and this ill advised move will probably turn out to be a horrible transaction, because the Bruins can't score goals. Players with Marc Savard's talent and skill don't come around very often.

Time running out for Savard-Bruins pact

The agent for star center Marc Savard says contract talks continue with the Boston Bruins, but time is also becoming of the essence.

"We continue to discuss regularly," agent Larry Kelly told ESPN.com Monday night at the Hockey Hall of Fame. "Both sides are interested in getting something done. But obviously there are issues we are working through."

The longer it takes, the closer Savard gets to July 1, when he would become an unrestricted free agent. It's clear from what Kelly said that the clock is ticking. [ESPN]

Emerging Bruins F is lastest NHLer with swine flu

General manager Peter Chiarelli announced Thursday that the team's medical staff confirmed a diagnosis of H1N1 for the 23-year-old Krejci, who is in his fourth season with the Bruins. The club said Krejci will be kept away from the team until he has had no symptoms or fever for 24 hours. Chiarelli said the Bruins are taking precautions to try to protect others in the organization from the virus.
