Yesterday was the Boneman's 39th birthday, and he received a great start to his 40th year: his beloved Bruins played in Montreal against their hated rivals, on a night when errant son Patrick Roy was being honoured at the Molson Centre (so you'd think it would be a lock for a Habs victory), and the visitors came out on top in the shootout after 3 full periods and a 5-minute overtime solved nothing. As if that weren't enough reason to celebrate, Boston used those 2 points to move into sole possession of 1st place in the Eastern Conference, moving ahead of the slumping Rangers, who lost their second consecutive game, this time 4-1 to the (previously swooning) Senators. So Boneman got the road victory, against a team that the Bruins went winless against last season, and saw his team take over 1st place. Does it get any better than that?
P.S. This is post # 1900, and I can't think of a finer message to mark that occasion than a birthday salute to the Boneman!

It was truly a nice birthday gift!! Being able to put the Habs to bed in their own building via the Shootout (which I still don't like -- and not because the Bruins are typically useless during shootouts) capped off an already pretty good day!
