The NFHL Game of the Night

 
Bruins Finally Cross the Line

 

It has been a long, tough road, but the Boston Bruins have finally crossed the playoff cut line in the last quarter of the season.  Boston took on the Montreal Canadiens tonight at home and gave their fans a reason to go home happy.  Daniel Marois, Ken Baumgartner, Fred Boimistruck and Owen Nolan scored the goals.  Keith Tkachuk, Trevor Linden and Cory Stillman had the Montreal goals. The New York Islanders lost to the Buffalo Sabres tonight, allowing the Bruins to jump over them and into 8th place in the Wales Conference.  They are tied with the Sabres and one point up on the Islanders, but have played 2 more games than either of the others, so their place is certainly not secure.
