The Boston Bruins did it yet again by outlasting the Canadiens 3-2 (SO) Saturday night. Heading into the game everyone expected that they would see some fisticuffs. However, that didn't happen. That's not to say that Georges Laraque didn't want it to happen though. Laraque went after Milan Lucic on the first shift, following him up and down the ice, then getting in his face. Lucic declined and went back to the bench. Later in the period Laraque offered again at the face off circle but Lucic seemed to want none of it. I thought this was as expected since Lucic had just had a tough bout with Nick Boynton last night, cutting his hand.
I think the funniest part of the game had to be that the Habs fans were so upset with Lucic that they forgot to do their ritualistic booing of Zdeno Chara. The Luuu-cic chants were priceless. Even more priceless was Milan Lucic's reaction when he potted one to tie the game at one.
At the end of the night the Bruins were able to spoil Patrick Roy night by defeating the Canadiens in a shoot out. With the win the Bruins moved into sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference and have the next few days off before lacing them up again against the Sabres, Wednesday night in Buffalo.
