Providence 0, Manitoba 2

Scratch/Injured: Ryan Stokes, Andrew Bodnarchuk, Peter Schaefer, Jonathan Tremblay

In the pre-game today, Rob Murray was mentioning how funny it was that he had been talking about Tuukka having a rough time and then he played such a good game. But, as pointed out last night, the big thing that hurt the Bruins last night was Manitoba's goalie. I guess he's one of the very best in the AHL right now. Thank goodness he IS in the Western Conference!

Over 11,000 Canadians, holy crap.

Well, the one thing you can always count on is that the Canadians love their hockey! Heck, we have had crowds of 9,000 or so, so I don't feel bad. I do feel bad that the poor guys can't buy a vowel er.. a win.. Hopefully today.
