I love Aaron Ward!


I believe that one of the main things it takes for a team to win is chemistry, and this years Bruins team is proving that.

They lost their best player, Patrice Bergeron, near the beginning of the season, and have had to battle though various other injuries, the most recent being the loss of Zdeno Chara. This team has had to battle thought all of these injuries, and is doing it very well. Today's game is a perfect example of that.

They were losing 2-1 in the third period to the Flyers, when Thomas came up with a huge save that led to an Andrew Ference goal wth 24 seconds left in the game.

Thomas came up with another huge save in OT, when Jeff Carter came in on a breakaway. Thomas redirected the puck up the ice, and Aaron Ward scored the OT winner. This is the second time this season that Ward has scored the OT winner against the Flyers.

After he scored, I screamed so loudly, I was surprised that my neighbors didn't call the police with a complaint of disturbing the peace.

This team has restored my faith in Boston hockey, and has made me genuinely excited to watch the team. After they traded Joe Thornton, I thought that it would take a lot longer than just 3 years for this team to be a contender.

I truly love every single person on his team(except for Manny Fernandez), and I can't wait to see what they can do in the playoffs.
