Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the first Days of Y’Orr recap!<\/p>\n

Everyone sitting in the first ten rows will be given a poncho because you will be sitting in the “sploosh zone” and this game has given this writer many things to sploosh about. Should you get any in your mouth, please gargle bleach and spit it out immediately. Please call chemical control.<\/p>\n

Raise your hand if this was the type of home opener you expected?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

I can’t vouch for you all reading this, but what I expected was a closely fought game with the Bruins coming out on the shit end of the stick. When I factored in no Bergeron, Backes or Krug – I thought the shit end of the stick would also be covered with bees.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Bruins came out and played like a hockey team that was looking to make a statement and they did it behind a group of guys who can’t legally buy alcohol yet.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

It’s only one game and all of these guys are more-than-likely going to hit the rookie wall, but for one game they all looked fucking incredible. Jake Debrusk, Charlie McAvoy and Anders Bjork seemed to be everywhere and seemed to do (mostly) everything right.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just the young kids either. For the first time in this millennium, David Krejci looked like a guy worth $7.25M per season. We’ve said on “The Optional Skate<\/a>” that David Krejci is a player who won’t make his line-mates great, but rather be made great by his line-mates.<\/p>\n

Tonight we were wrong.<\/p>\n

The Bruins opened the game with their foot on the gas pedal and never seemed to give it up. Even after a late first period goal – something that could effect the psyche of a team – the Bruins pushed that pedal down as far as they could and came away with a victory.<\/p>\n

It’s also a little slight against Nashville because Nashville is supposed to be better than that. Last two minutes in the third period aside, the Predators didn’t seem to take the\u00a0fight\u00a0<\/em>to the Bruins. Maybe that’s more of a compliment to Boston, but Nashville didn’t look like the Stanley Cup darlings we saw in May and June.<\/p>\n

In fact, it’s almost as if the Predators are average, something they were in most statistical categories before getting hot in the post-season.<\/p>\n

Even when the Predators came roaring back with two goals late int he third, the game never felt in doubt. It was a breath of fresh air on a Bruins season many of us will smell. They may be a bubble playoff team, but tonight they looked lights out.<\/p>\n

There’s going to be a lot here so grab a cup of tea or coffee or whatever you’re drinking.<\/p>\n

Jake DeBrusk<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Before he scored his goal, Jake DeBrusk was having himself a wonderful game. Even if he didn’t put the puck in the back of the net, that’s a game that shows you the type of player DeBrusk could be in the NHL. After the goal?<\/p>\n

Well, that’s the icing on the cake my friend.<\/p>\n
