Last night the Boston Bruins put together their most complete game in weeks against the Nashville Predators. They had jump from the beginning, kept up the effort throughout, and just dominated a team that was playing with urgency and passion. It’s easy to disrespect a team that gets shutout, but the Predators played from start to finish, even after a point when their enthusiasm should have waned.
Instead of a narrative, let’s just hit the bullet points:
Hampus the helper.
With two assists tonight, he now has 200 for his career.#NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/VyFFXueNyR

Next up the Islanders on Saturday at 5pm after they face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night.
Morning all.
My Favorite Player Forbort is the best.

Morning
From the highlights it looked like the Preds had a shocker and kept getting punished for their mistakes. Glad that wasn’t the case and they were just overpowered.
We’re going to a game tonight! The local team are in action against the bottom-of–the-table side. So hopes are high.
Sounds like fun. What is the team?
HC 05 Banska Bystrica! They used to be a farm team for a KHL team and they won the championship a couple of times during that time. Now they’re kinda first or second round playoff team.
Sounds like a fun trip so far!
Oh, I don’t know. I bet there are plenty of cattle prods to be found in the greater Nashville area.
I have to admit, that I was impressed at how hard they were playing well into the 3rd, when they were down by way too many goals to even dream of a comeback.
Good morning,
Nice win! The Bs firing on all cylinders. Glad Craig Smith got one in his old stomping grounds. He has been reminding me of Reilly Smith when he plays with Bergy and Marchand. I’m think his fancy stats will look great. Not a lot of goals and he doesn’t always get an apple, even when he’s involved in a scoring play. He battles well. He doesn’t have JD’s speed, but gets there on time. He gets the job done.
Working again today. Ugh. My buddy and i are remodeling a kitchen in a place down the street. Basement apartment that has enough funk to give me a headache. Hopefully, we are out of there by 2 or 3 this afternoon.
Sounds like a big job!
Smitty was having a good game last night. I’m glad to see that line put up some points, they haven’t been as productive since JD went down and the lines started shuffling.
