Bruins avoid trap, escape the Island as 2-1 winners

TIMMY TURNS ASIDE 40 ON THE ISLAND

Phew, it looked for a while like the Bruins were in the midst of a trap game. Of course after playing the Canadiens on Monday (closest to them in the Northeast) and looking ahead to the Capitals on Saturday (Second in the Eastern Conference) the lowly Islanders can be a team to look over.

It looked tough early but the Bruins pulled it out in the end with an ugly 2-1 win. The only bright spot was Tim Thomas who only allowed one goal on 41 shots. The Islanders were able to get a cheap goal late with less than a minute to go.
