Tonight I finally caught my first Boston Bruins game of the season. Sadly, I was unable to watch the season-opener on Versus against the (very talented) Washington Capitals on Thursday night. However, from what friends have told me, it's better I didn't see it.
Coming out to their alternate third jerseys (the black ones debuted last season), Boston played every bit like the team that stood atop the Eastern Conference last season. They were scrappy and hard-working, which showed on the scoreboard. Seven different players scored for the B's in the 7-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in the TD Banknorth Garden. Maybe something boiled inside them as they realized they were facing the same team that eliminated them last season in Game 7 of overtime or maybe they just realized falling into a 0-2 hole to start the season is never fun. Either way, whatever it was, I hope they keep it up for the future.
Here is some postgame reaction from Inside Hockey:
