[BOSTON]
The Bruins were more than 3,000 miles from TD Garden on Saturday, but Vancouver native Milan Lucic was right at home -- he had the go-ahead goal and a pair of assists while playing in front of dozens of friends and family.

One night earlier, the Vancouver Giants, his junior team, honored him by giving out a Lucic bobblehead and putting his number into their Ring of Honor.

"It's almost like a dream come true," Lucic said of his big night. "You dream of things like this as a kid -- coming (to) your hometown and playing in the NHL. To be able to step up and play a game like this, and get a win and everything I went through this week -- it's really humbling."

---------------------------------------

[OILERS]
The Oilers had been playing better in the last couple of weeks, but turned in a clunker on Friday as the St. Louis Blues beat them 5-0.

Coach Tom Renney wasn't happy with his team's performance, even though the Oilers outshot the Blues 39-22.

"There needed to be more passion and emotion and contact and we needed to drag ourselves into the game, and we had a little bit of a hard time doing that," he said. "It was a puzzling game. They scored on their opportunities -- and we let them walk in and do that -- and we couldn't capitalize on ours."

---------------------------------------

[INJURY REPORT]
Boston center Marc Savard is injured reserve and has been shut down for the season following his latest concussion. Defenseman Andrew Ference (lower-body injury) left Saturday's game in the first period. … Edmonton is without defenseman Taylor Chorney (knee); the Oilers' top blueliner, Ryan Whitney is gone for the season with ankle surgery. The Oilers expect to get forward Gilbert Brule back -- he's missed 27 of the last 30 games with an illness.

LETS GO BRUINS!!!​

I imagine the scouts will be out in force for this game. A number of Oilers players have a lot to play for right now. A chance to be traded to a contender vs staying with the worst team in the league.

That being said Boston is the better team, especially in goal. It's too bad St. Louis had all those injuries earlier in the season. They really miss David Perron he's fun to watch. Oh well they're definately a team to be wary of next season.

Could be a trap game for the Bruins today. Coming off a huge emotional test vs the Canucks, playing the young Oilers with nothing to lose could potentially be dangerous.

Yeah, we've all seen our teams come out dead on the second part of a back-to-back. Expect the Oil to have a lot more jump.

That's true, but I'm sure coach will have them ready. They could get 12 out of 12 points on this road trip. That would be awesome.

Good luck B's and Oilers fans.

Could be the last game for Hemsky in an Oilers uniform...Maybe Penner as well.

EDM is hanging in there, but Boston is big, strong and their system is awesome. Hopefully the Oil can make it interesting. EDM's D is horrible though. Always backs off.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Is Foster going to get run out of town or what?
