Surprise, Surprise

"Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw..." Message in a Bottle, The Police.

Looking at the NHL Standings this morning was as surprising as if I walked out and saw 'A Hundred Billion Bottles Washed Up on the Shore'.

The Boston Bruins are in first place in the Northeast Division and have the second highest amount of points in the Eastern Conference. When did this happen?

Did Cam Neely, Adam Oates and Ray Bourque suddenly walk through that door while we've been beoaming the injury losses of Tom Brady, Rodney Harrison, Lawrence Maroney and half of the New England Patriots team?

Is this the year that the Boston Bruins are for real and make a strong playoff run in the Eastern Conference? That's still TBD, but for at least the first 19 games the Bruins have gotten off to a strong start.
