Wow does Marco Sturm have no luck at all. The poor guy coming back after a left knee injury (ACL) that kept him out last year wrecks his right knee (ACL & MCL) on his first shift of Saturday's game. There is a voodoo doll out there somewhere of Sturm and I'm blaming a Canadiens fan for having it. When something bad happens to the Bruins it's usually Montreal's fault. Hopefully his surgery will go well and he'll be back at some point next season.

Now with Sturm out that put Thornton back into the line up. Not that he needs it but I believe he'll be a little bit fired up because he was the odd man out last game. Nothing pisses a player off more than being a healthy scratch. Not likely to happen but I wouldn't mind seeing a Thornton - Carcillo throw down. Carcillo looks he belongs on the 70's Flyers with his scruffy beard porn star stach and half ass mullet. Thornton should grab him by his throat the first chance he gets during a scrum. Just for the fact he did it to Savard.

Daniel Paille / Patrice Bergeron / Mark Recchi

Milan Lucic / David Krejci / Miroslav Satan

Vladimir Sobotka / Marc Savard / Michael Ryder

Blake Wheeler / Steve Begin / Shawn Thornton

Zdeno Chara / Johnny Boychuk

Matt Hunwick / Dennis Wideman

Andrew Ference / Adam McQuaid

Tuukka Rask

Let's hope Savard coming off his story book return to the Bruins can play a regular shift tonight. The more he played last game the better he was. I would like to see a little more out of his line with Sobotka, hopefully he's not to banged up from crashing into the post last game. They need him to continue banging bodies and driving to the net like he did in the Buffalo series.

Let's go up 2-0 before we head to Philly!
