The tough part about being a hockey ref would be that I miss a lot of the Bruins action when I am on the ice and although that happened last night, it wasn’t a total loss as I was home just in time for the best part of last night’s action.
If you thought after Thursday night’s performance of the B’s was a preview of the season and maybe the “Big Bad” Bruins were no more, just ask Carolina’s Jay Harrison as he received a bloody beating from Milan Lucic late in the second period. When it was all said and done, 46 minutes in penalties were handed out in the last 40 seconds of the second period.
Coach Julien guaranteed that we would not see the team that showed up ( or not showed up) against the Washington Capitals Thursday night and he was right, the B’s showed up and played for 60 hard minutes and walked all over the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last season. Not only did they play physical, the offense showed up as well having more than double the shots on net (42) that they had on Thursday(20) that lead to 7 goals by 7 different players which included 4 power play tallies.
If you remember a couple of days ago, I told you when the Bruins play physical…they win , enough said.
