Tim Thomas had 40 saves in the B's 2-1 victory over the Islanders on Thursday and they will travel to Washington to face off against the Capitals whom they loss to on December 10th.

Since that loss they have won seven straight on the road. These are not the same old Bruins. This team is fire and brimstone on ice.

Thomas the All-Star credits his defense for keeping everything right in front of him so that his vision was clear on his 40 save night. That's humility in it's rarest form.

In 44 games the B's are 33-7 playing well both at home and away. Simply solid. The Capitols have played 45 games and are 28-14.

Sometimes it's hard to remember how young this team is with the success they have been having, but if anyone deserves it, why not them and their fans.
