The Bruins defeated the Rangers in the season home opener by a score of 3-1. Let me tell you right now, this was a very exciting game for the season opener. Lots of things happened. Boston got ahead first by getting a goal by Milan Lucic. They then would score 2 more times by goals from Daniel Paille and Johnny Boychuk. By the way, it was Boychuk's birthday. Anyways, there was also 2 fights that were literally back to back. First it was Shawn Thornton against Mike Rupp. Thornton ultimately won the fight, his first of the season. Then, Gregory Campbell drops the gloves with Stu Bickel, that fight was sort of undetermined. Also, Boston goalie, Tuukka Rask did spectacular at the net tonight saving 20 out of 21 shots. Also, rookies like Dougie Hamilton and Chris Bourque made their Bruins debut tonight. While everyone was busy underestimating the Bruins, they ended up beating the Rangers. Let's look at the stats.
Milan Lucic: 1 Goal, 4 Hits
Daniel Paille: 1 Goal
Johnny Boychuk: 1 Goal, 1 Hit
Gregory Campbell: 1 Assist, 2 Hits
Andrew Ference: 1 Assist, 1 Hit
Patrice Bergeron: 1 Assist, 1 Hit
David Krejci: 1 Assist
Tuukka Rask: 20 out 21 Shots Saved
Player of the Game: Tuukka Rask
So this was a great game played by the Bruins and so far everything looks fine. Rask put up a great performance against the highly touted players, Rick Nash and Marian Gaborick. Anyways, next up we face the Winnipeg Jets who lost yesterday. We'll fly right by the Jets and get a win.
