BOSTON -- The suddenly high-scoring Boston Bruins are showing no mercy, even for
the departed goalie who led them to the Stanley Cup.
Earl Mitchell Jersey . Milan Lucic scored
twice and the Bruins spoiled Tim Thomas first game in Boston as a visitor with a
6-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. "I think I mightve enjoyed
myself watching the State of the Union more," said Thomas, not a big fan of
President Barack Obama, who delivered the speech at the same time as the Bruins
were beating the Panthers for the sixth straight time. "No, probably not." In
2011, Thomas didnt accompany his teammates to the White House for the ceremony
with Obama marking their championship that year. Boston scored six goals for the
third straight game, following road wins of 6-1 and 6-3. The Atlantic Division
leaders improved to 5-0-1 in their last six games. Why all that scoring for a
team known for its defence? "Weve been able to get out of our zone cleanly and
establish the rush," Lucic said. They kept going to the very end, with
Carl Soderberg charging into the crease where an angry Thomas swung his stick,
hitting Soderberg in the helmet with 4 seconds left. "With less than a minute
left in the game and theyre up by four goals," Thomas said, "I took exception to
that." Soderberg proclaimed his innocence. "I was just going for the rebound,"
he said. "We cant stop playing." Even if the opposing goalie was Thomas, who won
the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP with the Bruins in 2011. He spent one more
season with them, took last season off and then joined the Panthers. "Tims
always going to be a part of this organization for what hes done," Boston coach
Claude Julien said, "but we just have to look at him as the opposing goalie."
Zdeno Chara, Reilly Smith, Shawn Thornton and David Krejci also scored for
Boston, which led 4-0 until Brad Boyes connected for Florida with 2:33 left in
the second period. Dmitry Kulikov added a power-play goal for the Panthers 4
minutes into the third. "All four lines are putting the puck in the net," Krejci
said. "Thats good to see." Fans applauded lightly when Thomas was introduced as
the starting goalie. But after Thornton made it 5-2 just more than 8 minutes
into the third period, they derisively chanted, "Thomas! Thomas!" "I didnt
really hear it too much," Thomas said. "There were really not a lot of
feelings." Thomas played against the Bruins for the first time on Oct. 17 in
Bostons 3-2 win at Florida. He travelled with the Panthers to Boston but did not
play Nov. 7 in the Bruins 4-1 victory. For the second consecutive game, the
Bruins were the early aggressors, outshooting the Panthers 19-8 in the first
period. On Monday night, Boston took 18 of the first 20 shots in a 6-3 win over
the New York Islanders. Lucic gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 7:41 of the first
period on a rebound after Thomas stopped Jarome Iginlas shot from the right
circle. Lucic was initially credited with the second goal less than 8 minutes
later when Charas 45-foot shot from the right appeared to hit him before
bouncing over Thomas and trickling into the net. The scoring was changed when it
was determined that the puck hit Thomas glove, not Lucic. But that didnt stop a
few spectators from throwing hats on the ice early in the second, thinking Lucic
had completed a hat trick when he scored his 15th of the season on a short
backhand. Smith made it 4-0 with his team-leading 18th goal at 14:54 of the
second on a pass across the slot from Soderberg. He beat Thomas to the open side
of the net. "That wasnt (Thomas) best game," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said,
"but I dont think there were a lot of solid efforts by many of the players."
After Boyes ruined Tuukka Rasks bid for his fourth shutout in 13 decisions,
Kulikov made it 4-2. His goal ended an 0-for-43 power-play drought for the
Panthers over their previous 13 games and the first two periods Tuesday. Rask
finished with 28 saves. NOTES: Sean Bergenheims assist on Kulikovs goal was his
150th NHL point. It came in his 100th game with the Panthers. ... Bruins forward
Chris Kelly played for the first time since missing 22 games with a broken leg.
... Boston is 12-2 in its last 14 home games.
Jason Taylor Dolphins Jersey . Jordan Lynch,
the all-purpose Heisman Trophy finalist from Northern Illinois, failed to make
it into that exclusive club.
Andre Branch Jersey . Gerald Green and
Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas.
The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are
key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season.

certainly was, then he went out in style.ST. LOUIS -- Boston Red Sox right
fielder Shane Victorino has been removed from the starting lineup for Game 4 of

scratched.
Jelani Jenkins Jersey. Daniel Nava was moved
from left field to right and from fifth to second in the batting order.
