Boston Bruins and the NHL

Well my boy Jurcina got in one game and didn't look too good. He hasn't gotten a chance since. Patrice Bergeron has been great. Thornton looked bad the first couple of games and then missed a few with a bad back. His play was much improved after sitting out. Overall, I like the "new" NHL. The games have a much better flow, though I'd like to see the body checking increase a bit, which it seems like it has.

The Bruins are 0-5-1 in their division. They need to tighten up defensively and they need to do better on the powerplay.
