» Thomas: Bruins’ run has been ‘beautiful to watch’
Having gone on a run that’s seen them pick up 23 of a possible 24 points in the last 12 games, the Bruins have vaulted themselves up from the bottom of the conference standings to first place in the division.
Tim Thomas — a full-time member of the team since the 2005-06 season — has seen the Black and Gold play at this high of a level before, but never with such a remarkable amount of success in the standings.

Things looked pretty bleak midway through the opening frame, as Boston was hemmed in their own zone by Winnipeg’s aggressive forecheck, but things turned around dramatically in the second. The Bruins could’ve easily had another letdown of a performance, but they bounced back after their first setback in nearly a month and returned to their winning ways.

A giveaway by Jimmy Howard behind his own net led to Boston’s tally. Nathan Horton picked off a pass intended for a Wings’d-man and promptly sent a nice backhanded pas to Dan Paille. Paille beat a scrambling Howard, making it 1-1.

From the wave of fisticuffs in the opening period to the frantic finish, the B’s were engaged in an absolute thriller and undoubtedly left the revenge-seeking Sabres feeling stung.

Montreal, for the better part of the night, continued to carry play. Were it not for Tim Thomas and a few narrow misses, they likely would’ve run away with one.
Unfortunately Boston’s netminder was damn-near superhuman, stopping all 33 shots he faced to blank the Habs, giving the B’s their ninth-straight victory.

The Boston area isn’t the only part of the hockey world that’s taken notice of Tyler Seguin‘s sensational start to the season.
The second-year pro’s impressive hot streak earned him the nod as the NHL’s First Star of the Week, as Seguin had four goals, two assists and a plus-4 rating in the Bruins last three games — two of which saw him bury the game-winning tally.
