The Boston Bruins got bullied in the series opener Thursday night. They showed up for Game 2 determined to put that Game 1 stinker behind them.
The ‘Big Bad Bruins’ turned up the physicality during their 4-1 victory. They evened some scores with some of the Leafs following their Game 1 debacle, namely Nazem Kadri.
Jake DeBrusk in particular, had some unfinished business with Kadri following his slew foot in Game 1. It didn’t take long for the two combatants to renew acquaintences, either.
DeBrusk put the winger in his place with a big hit and a few additional shots late in the first period, drawing a roar from the capacity crowd of 17,565 at TD Garden.
