Barbario. I can't get over that name!

He's joining my NHL 2014 team. BARBARIOUS!

 

[SerenityRick]

Bruins like making history lately

Only team to score 3 SH goals on a single PK
Only team to win Stanley Cup by playing three game 7s
Only team to score first goal of the season on a penalty shot

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

At least he didn't skate around in a circle like I've seen with many (albeit other) teams. Takes a bit until the Horton/Lucic bromance can be reproduced, im looking for signs.

Horton was much more useless in that regard. Iginla fights a tougher guy in his first game. I don't want Iginla getting in any scrums or fighting. I just want him to score goals.

 

[roflstomper]

you mean the same guy who played on our team in the playoffs? the guy who couldnt score? yeah ok

You're right probably 7-1. But who's counting.

 

[EverettMike]

...

are people serious with the negativity? Did he not show you enough with his fight tonight after getting belted?

People just finding things to ***** about...Lord...

I thought he looked great tonight. Miles better than Horton.

What does that have to do with his response at the end?

5-1 Tampa I think he meant.

Great movie. Jane Fonda was hot in that.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Up and down game but great third period. Kelly and Bergeron were amazing. Eriksson had a good game. Didn't like him in the second but was good in the first and third.

 

[TCL40]

Anyone know who the stars were?

I'm not looking for Iginla to fight every idiot out there but what I like seeing is a team that steps up for one another. I guess it is a bit of a stretch but I feel like teams who step up for one another, battle for one another, hurt for one another are championship type teams. Iginla took a step that I should have expected (knowing his career) but didn't so, in addition to the win, that makes me happy.

May be its just poetry though.

 

[RedBruin]

1 assist on 3 goals is a rarity as well

 

[TCL40]

Caron 2 shots-if his goal counted he would have a good shooting percentage.

Honestly not real bothered-no need for a line brawl-Iginla had a man and Looch can handle himself (honestly I think Looch would have much rather had the fight than the PP in that game).

They hit a little lull in the 2nd w/ their skating. Some hiccups moving the puck out w/ authority. Chemistry will come for the top two lines.

Filthy goal by Kelly, although I didn't see anything worth a call. Ri-****ing-diculous call on Caron's goal, inexcusable. Game never should have been close. I don't miss regular season officiating. Have to love the near two minute two man advantage call. Then Bergeron stuffing it up their lower intestine.

Love Iggy manning up.

 

[Bruinator]

Have Heard a lot about Reilly Smith but have yet to see anything.

 

[Salem13]

So who had Kelly SH/PS to start the season?

Goal per period, one assist, two shorthanded.

Great start!

Yes,overall,it was a good 1st game,although I have to admit I wasn't watching closely,it will take me awhile to ramp up my own intensity.I like the effort from Caron,although it is only one game, I am now personally hoping he becomes a regular on the 3rd line.

Smart hockey for sure. I liked a lot of this game and, for one reason or another, seem to lack an effective way of expressing that on this forum. I chalk it up to the multiple sluttly Pumkins

 

[HumBucker]

Great to see Kelly playing with some mojo. Caron showing some good stuff - shoulda had a goal. Nice to see Iggy in the swing of things. That line looks good.

Nice win!

Have Heard a lot about Reilly Smith but have yet to see anything.

I thought he had a good game.

He definitely saved a goal (or good scoring opportunity) with a strong stick on one of Tampa's forwards.

 

[Sam the Lion]

Good thing Caron's goal was waved off. Kelly and Caron with the first two goals of the season would have caused HF Bruins universe to collapse into a confused and bickering little black hole.

Gonna be a while til we see a post as good as this one.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I picked up a little of the game earlier, looks like Smith is fitting in on your lower lines.

How did Eriksson look during the game?

Ehhh, not spectacular, but nothing negative either. Jury still out. [As it should be after ONE game.]
