In honor of the blue-collar Bruins from the initial post-Big Bad era, the current crop of Boston skaters put forth a lunch pail effort against one of their longtime Original Six foes.
Fresh off a wild overtime win on Long Island the night before, the Bruins began their latest era night honoring the original Lunch Pail A.C. club with the members from that late 70s and early 80s timeframe coming out of the penalty box. The pregame highlights included Mike Milbury holding up a shoe in tribute to his infamous moment in 1979 at Madison Square Garden, John Wensink waving his arms in a challenge gesture for the first time since trying to provoke the entire Minnesota North Stars bench, and Ray Bourque assisting the inspirational Normand Leveille to drop the puck for the ceremonial face off.
