In the new NHL, no lead is safe. Truth be told, even in the old NHL, the 1-0 lead the Bruins were nursing in the second period last night wouldn't have offered much comfort.

Shawn Thornton was the only Bruin without a point before last night's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Thornton broke his scoreless streak in the late going, storming in for two goals in a 27-second span, but it was too late to prevent the Bruins from taking a 3-2 loss.

Well, yes, there are worse things than a lockout. In the midst of the NHL's self-imposed two-hander over the head (now day No. 66 on what appears the fast track to infinity), a couple of Bruins prospects turned their opportunity to play in Providence into their final days in the Boston organization.

A lot was on the line last night. The Bruins were coming off an 8-2 dud against Montreal. They were fighting the Islanders for seventh place in the Eastern Conference. They wanted to hit the All-Star break on an upswing, knowing that when they return from the weekend, they'll have three games in five nights - including two against conference ...

There was not a lot happening until the shootout. The Bruins and New York Islanders wandered across the TD Banknorth Garden ice last night, looking perhaps for a signpost or a grinning Cheshire cat to point the way.

The kids had their day alone yesterday at the start of Bruins training camp. The rookies, a few of them even looking old enough to shave (important to clarify: shave is not a term for cheating in this usage), scurried onto the Ristuccia Arena ice at 1:30 p.m. with skates sharpened, eyes wide open, and dreams even wider.

During the third period, while Milan Lucic was back in the dressing room getting part of his face cobbled back together with six stitches, the rookie heard the horn and the cheer of the TD Banknorth Garden crowd, signaling that the Bruins - namely, Zdeno Chara - had scored an insurance goal.

At this stage of the year, everything can be used as a lesson. For instance, how the Bruins respond to being without defensemen Zdeno Chara (sore hamstring) and Milan Jurcina (elbow contusion) and top-line wing Marco Sturm (chest cold).
