BOSTON The game Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens marks another that Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid will miss with a leg injury that is proving difficult to pin down. McQuaid was deemed day-to-day when he first injured the leg in the second period of the Jan. 19 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, but hell miss his fifth straight game when the Habs and Bruins drop the puck. McQuaid...

BOSTON Here are five thoughts from the second period with the Bruins trailing the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 after the first 40 minutes at TD Garden in the classic Atlantic Division rivalry game: 1) Habs add two more goals in the second period, and Tuukka Rask gets yanked after the Bruins fall behind 3-1. Clearly, the move seemed to be to spark the lifeless, sloppy Bruins, but they responded by giving...

BOSTON -- The Montreal Canadiens, making their first visit of the season to Boston, took an early lead and ended the rival Bruins' four-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory on Thursday night. Winning their fifth straight against the Bruins, the Canadiens (29-20-5) chased Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask in the second period and won their second straight after a four-game losing streak. Rask, who gave...
BOSTON The end of a winning streak in hockey can sometimes get a little ugly and thats exactly what happened against the hated Montreal Canadiens. The Bruins had far too many defensive breakdowns and pulled Tuukka Rask in the second period in a 4-1 loss at TD Garden that ended a strong 5-0-1 run in their past six games. The victory also gives the Habs two straight victories after bottoming out with...

Of course the defeat was to the rival Montreal Canadiens, and the game was a monumental tribute to lack of effort and complacency as the Bruins were never really in the game from beginning to end. There was a quick two-goal deficit, a poor second period and a final 20 minutes without fight, defiance or emotion, and there was also a goaltending change in the middle period from Tuukka Rask to Chad Johnson...

BOSTON It certainly looks like the Montreal Canadiens are starting to become a thing for Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask. Rask was pulled after giving up his third goal on the 18th shot he faced in the second period of Thursday nights 4-1 loss to the Habs at TD Garden, and dropped to a 2-10-2 career record versus the Bleu, Blanc and Rouge in his NHL career. When you look at the balance of the stats against...
