It may be that Torrey didn't see Goring really fitting into his plans, and decided to give Sinden a helping hand. The Bruins are really hurting in terms of injuries, and are falling behind the 'Surging Sabres'. The same problem is now catching up with the Canadiens, who areeffectively tied with the Sabres going into tonight's matchup at the fabulous Forum. \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen
