Bruins Lose Their Way On Columbus Day, Lightning Win 6-3

Different script, same result.

Well, this one was more fun, I suppose. Coming off 4-2 and 6-2 losses, the Boston Bruins really needed a good performance. And there were parts of this one that are quite good. They had the majority of the shots, netted three Power Play Goals--just typing this about a Bruins team is enough to make my eyebrows raise--against Ben Bishop ad a solid Tampa Bay Lightning defense, and generally looked like they had come to play. Professionals are always ready to play on game day, but it's fair to say that Boston looked as if they had an easier time feeling their way into today's Columbus Day early start time.
