it's been too long--i have been crawling out of my skin over this recent allstar break, and it was great tonight watching the bruins take the ice again for the second half. the gamewinner was a 100 foot slapper from center ice by dennis seidenberg (they all count!) but the goal of the night for me was brad marchand wrestling and twisting his way among three defenders to get his stick not once but twice on a rebound at the side of the crease to tie things at the start of the third, with an effort reminiscent of the team's cup run last spring. ok, watching adam mcquaid take care of zenon konopka right after shawn thornton dispatched chris neil was pretty sweet, too. (zenon doesn't just lead the league in fights--he's the real deal, and adam taking him on was downright huge).

i love hockey.
