Always fun watching a prospect in their first NHL game, especially one with Donato’s pedigree. Number 17 huh? I’ll be expecting him to put someone through the glass tonight.

If Donato scores or makes the scoresheet tonight great, but I'm really more interested to see how he looks vs NHL talent.

Interesting it'll be the first time the Bruins have had a lefty in that bumper position. I like it as Donato has a deadly release.
I can see him lighting the lamp on the pp off a pass from Marchand for his first NHL goal.

NHL speed, NHL shot and NHL IQ. I think he'll look really good. He may struggle a bit defensively from the get-go but he'll figure that-out quickly.

This is also on Sportsnet in Canada.
Great to see Donato up here, I remember his dad playing years ago.
Lets go Bruins.

A little surprised that they did not put Wingels in as third line center.
Regarding the defense- All the offensive power and speed is on the left side.

I am pretty excited to see our injury riddled team against a very hot Columbus squad.
Another statement could be made tonight.
Donato will score. Book it.

Love seeing lists like that. Some esteemed company. Bobby Bauer. Personal all-time favourite Nevin Markwart. Lucic, Jonathan, Sanderson and of course, the immortal Tenkrat.
Putting him with Gionta is a good move. They're familiar with each other and you bet your ass Brian was a good mentor during the Olympics. I have no doubts about the kid. I think he shows he belongs tonight. It pains me a bit to see someone other than Looch wear 17...I know, I know. Still. That's iconic in my eyes. Hopefully it's a good omen! Let's go Bruins!!
