Former Bruin great and newly-elected member of the Hall of Fame, Cam Neely, dropped the ceremonial puck tonight. He received a well-deserved standing ovation from the Garden Gods. . Former Bruin and P-Bruin forward Andy Hilbert will play his first game of the season against his former club tonight as a member of the Norfolk Admirals (Chicago Blackhawks). He was traded for Chicago's fifth-round selection in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft on Sunday and begins his conditioning stint in the AHL against Providence. . Boston forward Pat Leahy, who fractured his right index finger while blocking a shot on Oct. 29 against New Jersey, had his cast removed this week. He had surgery the day following the injury and is sporting a splint. . . Ottawa sensation Jason Spezza still uses a wood stick. Entering tonight's game he was tied for fourth place in league scoring with 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 13 games.

I'm not too crazy for the new hockey rules. I grew up a Bruins fan - O'Reilly, Milbury, Neely. checking and fighting. Just cause Mario can't score - boo hoo - tell that to Cam Neely - he could check you into tomorrow, kick ass and AND score a pretty goal right after. It's like a boy growing up and not wrestling with his dad, cause mom and grandma thinks it's too rough.

The AHL seems a little tougher and the rules seem just a tad lax than the NHL. I know goalies have been punished for being good; but it really stinks when the puck goes in the netand allowed by the ref when the opposite team can SIT on your goalie and not get called for goalie interference AND the goal counts. It's nice to see goals, but hockey is more than that. I can get just as jacked by a good hip check, a sly take away or stopping a breakaway. Who cares if someone in Florida or Nashville doesn't like hockey as it is???
