Nothing going on this afternoon or Thursday night? Well your in luck because NESN will be there to kill some of your down time. The NESN show "Bruins Classics" will be rebroadcasting the November 30, 2006 game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning at 1PM. This game ended with shootout master Phil Kessel scoring his first game-winning shootout goal. Kessel currently own the Bruins franchise record for most game deciding shootout goals, with the magic number of nine.
Then on the next day, same time, "Bruins Classics" will rebroadcast Game 7 of the 1988 Conference Finals aganist the New Jersey Devils. This was the first Bruins apperance in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1978. The Bruins ended up losing in the Finals to Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers in 4 straight games. Even though the outcome of this matchup was nothing to talk about, it will still live on in Bruins/NHL history due to Game 4. This is because Game 4 will always be known for being canceled due to fog and a power outage before a faceoff in the mid-point of the 2nd period.
Finally, NESN finishes up Thursday night with it's 3rd summer installment of "The Buzz". New Bruins rinkside reporter Naoka Funayama will replace Hazel Mae as the new host of the show (hopefully she learned how to pronounce Zdeno). Anyways, the show will feature a one-one interview with the newest Bruin Michael Ryder, a piece on the return of Bergy, the Bruins trip to the Jimmy Fund, and finally a tribute to Glen Murray.
