Another loss? Sheesh. All I can do now is shrug my shoulders. The B's fell 6-2 to the Sabres yesterday. 6-2? Goals by Andrew Alberts and Brad Boyes. I won't say I'm fed up, but I will say that playoff hopes are growing slim. Okay, maybe they're borderline nonexistant at this point, but there's always that sliver of hope...

What happened this season? One minute they're one of the most promising teams in the League and now they're near the bottom of the heap and Mike O'Connell is up for sale on ebay (bidding at $10.50...) I'm not sure why, but it made me think of National Lampoon christmas vacation when Chevey Chase goes on the rant about his boss "And I'd like to have him right here, with a big ribbon on his head..." or something. Yeah, I know, it was a reach, but it's early.

Anyway, the Providence Bruins had a much better game. They beat the Hershey Bears 4-0, earning Jordan Sigalet his first professional shutout.

The Bears went on a powerplay 28 seconds into the game when Jason MacDonald was called for slashing, but both teams would go scoreless for much of the period. Ben Walter blasted one by the Bears' goaltender with just under six minutes to go, both Nathan Robinson and Pascal Pelletier picked up the helpers. Jonathan Sigalet scored late in the second period, while Eric Healey and Jason MacDonald would score in the third. Hershey outshot Providence 34-22 and went 0 for 6 on the powerplay. Jordan Sigalet was the number one star for the night; Jonathan Sigalet and Nathan Robinson were numbers two and three. hey, check out the box score.
