It was a bad loss. You know that too.
What you might not know, however, is just how bad the loss was.
Thankfully, we have Chris and HockeyReference.com!
Chris did some digging within HockeyReference’s vast digital archives and found a few tidbits about tonight’s game. These are whatever you’d call the opposite of fun facts.
This was the worst season-opening loss in the history of the franchise.
The Bruins’ 7-0 defeat is the worst loss the team has ever suffered in its opening game. The most recent one that was even close was an 8-3 loss to Florida back in 2006.
