Mayo was everywhere with a few huge hits. The Pats D was much better in the 2nd half...remember they allowed just 7 points in the 2nd half. Their big problem is the rash of mental errors at bad times like Watson's fumble and the snap screw up. They never used to make mental errors. I'm glad the Bruins won. I suspect B's fans are happier with Lucic fighting than scoring. I like Lucic, too, because he's beginning to show similar skills to you-know-who. But, don't get carried away. He has 13 goals in his career.

The Bruins put on a clinic last night against a Habs team that was sharp and fierce. Manny was absolutely brilliant in goal, and the defense held together even without cornerstone bruiser (and MBTA spokesman) Andrew Ference. Lucic has half the NHL crapping themselves with fear now -- the man is a monster. What a great night to be a hockey fan in Boston.

The New England defense was terrible. Other than a great game throughout by Jerod Mayo and a good third quarter, the Jets had no trouble moving against them. In the first, second, and fourth quarters, and overtime, the only things that stopped the Jets were a fumble and a three and out late in regulation when they were just running the ball to run time off the clock.
