Bruins win 4th straight

Finding ways to win. The B's were sluggish throughout the first half in the game, but managed to find a way to win a 3-2 shootout against the Panthers. Goals by Krejci (a weak one on his Olympic team mate Vokoun) and Recchi (sweet tip-in off the shaft of his stick on a Wideman wrister), with Recchi getting the shootout winner in the 8th round. When you have 2 teams like Boston & Florida who have little offensive luck going these days, no surprise they went 8 rounds in a shootout. Rask with the win. He looked pretty good out there.
random crap

• McQuaid fought Oreskovich. Oreskovich wears a visor, but that didn't slow down McQuaid, who just started flailing away right in front of the B's bench. Kluzak was definitely impressed during the intermission chats with K-Tap.
• B's are now in 7th place, and are 4-0-0 since the return of Andrew Ference
• Satan's resting his lacerated hand, Bitz came back into the lineup in Satan's absence.
• Sweet end-to-end rush and goal by Stephen Weiss of Florida. Got Chara all tied up and faked out Rask pretty good.
  
• Just watched Hannah Kearney of Norwich, VT win the gold in the women's freestyle skiing. Watching Kearney/Heil/Bahrke pound thru moguls that fast left me breathless, that was some phenomenal skill on display there.
• View from 311 won't be idle during the Olympic break - we'll be posting on the success/failure of the Bruins players that are involved with the Olympics.
