Michael Ryder Delivers Goods For Bruins
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on November 30th, 2009
“Michael Ryder did not have a detailed plan of attack when he skated out for a shootout showdown with Ottawa Senators goalie Brian Elliott on Saturday night at TD Garden.
Ryder had watched as Elliott stoned Patrice Bergeron, Blake Wheeler and David Krejci in the first three rounds of the shootout. At the other end, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, who’d missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, did an equally effective job on Ottawa’s Alex Kovalev, Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson.
Ryder simply let the puck be his guide as he cruised through the middle of the slot toward his rendezvous with Elliott. He made a quick read, applied a definitive fake and fired a wrist shot that beat Elliott to the glove side.
Thomas then stopped Mike Fisher on the final rush to seal a 4-3 victory and lift the Bruins past the Senators into first place in the Northeast Division.
“I wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” said Ryder. “I just wanted to try and get a high shot on him, and I beat him to the glove side.”
