The Boston Bruins are another story. Today they would away, playing the Capitals. Tomorrow, they would be back in Boston, cleaning out their lockers. After that, they would be traveling to disparate places around the country, and to Canada, and the Czech Republic, and Germany, and Finland to sit out the off-season wondering why Claude Julien kept playing Tim Thomas when Tuukka Rask was right there on the bench waiting to get in.

Smart ass.
Well, the Bruins played well today(they rested Chara, along with other players). They beat the Capitals 4-3 in the shootout. Boudreau elected to not use his main guns in the shootout to allow players that have never really gotten a chance before(or not too many) to give it a go. Ovechkin was held pointless, and since this was his final game Henrik Sedin will now win the Art Ross trophy(I mistakenly called it the Rocket Richard trophy in an earlier post).
That also means he stays at 50 goals for the season. Steve Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning(50 goals) and Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins(49 goals) have yet to play their games today, so there is a chance that Ovechkin would lose out on that trophy as well(I am pulling for Stamkos to win it, to be honest. I would also be happy if Crosby ended up winning it.
).
The second period of the Rangers/Flyers game has ended. The Flyers have outshot the Rangers 30-13 so far and yet the Rangers are ahead 1-0. Bad time for the Flyers to run into a hot goalie!
