Bruins-Oilers
- Mark Mowers, Glen Murray, and Marco Sturm did not practice today. Mowers was ill with the flu and will play tonight. Sturm's issue was undisclosed but will play tonight( no he was not traded... yet). Murray will miss tonight's game with a groin injury. He is still day-to-day and could play Thursday.
- Andrew Ference skated with Andrew Alberts during practice today. He should be his regular partner. Ference will wear #21.
- Tim Thomas gets his 6th straight start in goal tonight. Lewis comments on Toivonen :"I am glad to see Goalie Bob (Essensa) here. He's worked hard with (Toivonen) and he's talked to him…I am not concerned about (Hannu's) future. He's got very good upside."
- Chuck Kobasew is dealing with visa issues and has not met up with the team. He will wear #12 after wearing 19 in Calgary.
Tonight the Bruins faceoff with the Oilers (28-24-4). They currently rank 9th in the West, 6 points out of the final playoff spot. The Bruins have a record of 25-25-4, with a few games in hand. Fernando Pisano is suffering from a concussion and will miss tonight's game. Jarret Stoll will also miss tonights game. Look for the Oilers to take it to the Bruins early trying to gain the momentum, especially with two of their top forwards injured. Hopefully the honoring of The Chief tonight will jump start some of the Bruins.
Here is the lineup:
Axelsson-Savard-Kessel
Sturm-Bergeron-Bochenski
Reich-Mowers-Donovan
Chistov-Boyes-Tenkrat
Mara-Chara
Alberts-Ference
Allen-York

Yeah sorry dont know what I was thinkin. They are honoring him tonight though.
there will be a ceremony to honor the chief tonight from 6:55 to about 7:20.
Honest mistake. Just wanted to let you know before someone was a jerk about it. I'm hoping Ference show us somthing tonite and hopfully the team is pumped after the ceremony.
