I'm stopping in quick to update before I'm offline for the rest of the afternoon. The Bruins practiced this morning in Wilmington without Tim Thomas (family business). Manny Fernandez was in one of the nets, along with Tuukka Rask, but Fernandez left practice early because of back spasms.
Oh, the damaged Fernandez. (No offense to Manny. I'm a little cranky today.) I know injuries happen during the length of the season, but this is getting a little ridiculous, especially since Fernandez's injuries keep occurring in practices.
Fun Fact: Fernandez played in his last Bruins game on October 22nd, the same day as my hand surgery. Fernandez is still on the IR, and I have two stitches left in my hand and a few in my wrist just for comparison purposes.
Defenseman Matt Hunwick was returned to Providence, but could be recalled again since Andrew Ference still has an ice pack attached to his knee.
The Bruins will face the New York Islanders in the traditional day after Thanksgiving matinée game on Friday, and then will go to the Island and play them on Saturday night, which I am promising to live-blog now. (I slacked tremendously last night.)
The Bruins will not return for another home game until December 6th.

I already said it and I repeat it again. With Fernandez in the line up, the B's are not a better team !!! Thomas is not the problem and I hope people will start reconizing that whatever the style he has in front of the net... he stops the dawm rubber !!! He's making miraclessssss with a deficient defense.
