Lightning bolt Bruins

Another game, another loss for this pathetic excuse for a hockey team. With the last place Tampa Bay Lightning coming into town, it looks like Boston figured that they could just show up and win. Unfortunately for fans that showed up and paid good money to watch this crap, they were forced to witness a listless lifeless team that went through the motions in a 3-0 loss to the Lightning.

All the goal scoring in this one happened in the first period. Mike Needham scored the opening two goals of the game before assisting on the third which was on a powerplay. Shots were 12-7 Tampa and they controlled the play.

Shots in the second were 8-3 Lightning, and the Boston fans were really vocalizing their displeasure. In the third period, paper bags started coming out and it was completely justified. I'm not sure where the bags even came from but they truly show where this team is and where the fan base currently stands. The Bruins fired a few more shots in the period but they were all muffins from the outside, and the high danger scoring chances were next to none. Tampa goalie Marty Turco gets full marks for his second straight shutout, but he was really handed what could be the easiest goose egg of his career.

Jocelyn Guevremont has to be firmly on the hot seat after this effort, and his job is hanging on by a thread. At this point it would take a miracle for him to keep his job.

Boston heads to Philly tomorrow night to face the Flyers where they will try to keep their opponent's score under 20.
