114.1No comments after beating the SC camps?DIVER1::MACHADOCrazy on a ship of foolsMon Jan 27 1997 11:139
    	Did anyone catch this game? I thought that the game was an evening
    game and only caught the last minute as my wife was channel surfing
    Sat. afternoon. It looked like the B's played a pretty good game
    judging by the score and how much noise the crowd was making. The crowd
    was really into it. I didn't even notice if they used the patented Fox 
    glow puck. If they did, I'm just as glad I missed it. 8-)

114.2Stanley Cup champs shut down!BRAT::CONNERMon Jan 27 1997 11:3711
    Barry, 
    
    IMHO this was the best all around game the B's have played all year. 
    Forest-berg made his debut and was completely shut down.  Oats &
    Bourque each had rockets to the top corner for goals.  McClearn scored
    25 secs. into the 1st with an awsome diving swat past Billington (I
    think Roy would have made the save with his eyes closed).  
    
    ...AND NO, FOX DID NOT USE THE ANNOYING FUZZY BLUE PUCK!!!  ;)

114.3A Great Game!SUBPAC::DMITCHELLMon Jan 27 1997 19:0710
    I agree, this had to be one of the best performances by the Bruins 
    this season (and I even sit throught the stinkers, usually).  They
    played consistent defense the entire game with only 1 or 2 breakdowns
    (and of course one breakdown left an Avalanche player open in the
    slot with nothing Tallis could do but watch it fly by).  Adam Oates
    has picked his play up considerably in the last few weeks and I 
    think its rubbing  off.  
    
    I wish this team could show up at every game and play at this level.

Agreed, watched the game from a hospital room though,
My son Shawn was in for about a week and a half with a
live abscess,, but the game was easily one of the best
played this year, easily as good as the game the
B's beat Pittsburgh in...

Good team effort, great goal by bourque, and
oates just a a couple of missles,

Forsberg is a great player though,,

    your wife. Keep the faith.
