For more than half of last night's game, David Krejci sat on the bench, sick to his stomach about the error he had made.

Before Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the brown bear head -- the bruin was shot years ago by Johnny Bucyk -- that usually makes its home propped above Boston's dressing room door at TD Banknorth Garden was in an unfamiliar spot.

Boston against Montreal? Or was that Washington against Harlem? Last night, in the latest installment of 2007-08 laughers against the Canadiens, the Bruins bumbled through their worst showing yet.

We've seen this before, haven't we? High draft pick comes to Hub of Hockey, surrounded by higher expectations. Coach is afraid to play him.

If there was one thing the Bruins could be credited with in yesterday's 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, it was consistency.

Only nine days ago, the Bruins absorbed the thumping of the season. On Dec. 29, Atlanta laid a 5-0 smackdown on the Bruins - the second time in 2007-08 Boston has lost by five goals - that featured a misplay by starter Alex Auld that ended up in his net, a wobbler by defenseman Alexei Zhitnik that floated over the ...

WILMINGTON - For at least the next two games, the Bruins must survive without their No. 1 right wing.

By the end of last night's shootout, strikes by Phil Kessel and David Krejci coupled with two saves by Tim Thomas gave the Bruins a 3-2 win and the 2 points they were hunting for.
