Well that sucked.
Game 1 should probably not be used as a barometer for what the team will be like in the next 81 games. Players move, lines change, and pairings are mixed up. It's not an exact science, really.
Also, Chara was out, so your best defenseman to ice between all three zones was Torey Krug.
But man oh man...this sure felt like an omen of things to come. Nearly every positive and negative our preview and everyone else's preview for the Boston Bruins said seemed to come true tonight.
1st Period:
Everything seemed pretty great to start out, the Bruins came out on all cylinders, hemming the Jets into their own end for most of the period and shelling Pavelec, forcing him to make absurd saves in order to keep the period even.
