It was an exciting afternoon in Boston. Between the player introductions, to the ceremonial puck drop, and all of the way to the last whistle, the Garden was buzzing. Capped off by Dirty Water, a song by The Standells that plays after every home win at Fenway Park, it was a perfect afternoon for Boston sports fans.
Chris Wagner, who signed as a free agent with the Bruins this summer, scored his first goal as a Bruin midway through the second. The Walpole, MA native should have been the story of the afternoon, but Patrice Bergeron stole it away from him with three goals and assist.
