Good effort by the Bruins last night. Just stellar. They came into Washington for the season opener and just pooped all over themselves. Rask was pulled after five goals, which really doesn't help to support my argument that he's elite. Marchand broke a man's face out of frustration and the Bruins were sent packing out of Washington with their tail between their legs.
Should we panic? Uh, no.
The season is 82 games long. I'll panic if they lose their first five in a row. Tonight they face off against the Sabres in Buffalo and I fully expect them to come out strong.
Side note...
I'm happy for the Capitals for winning the Stanley Cup last season. Ovi certainly deserved to win after so many years of heartbreak, but that pregame ceremony was way too long. It was so long in fact that it made me want to take back everything nice thing I ever said about the Caps. I want them to go on another million year drought for making me wait.
I also learned last night that I'm bad at predicting hockey. I thought the Caps would be hungover and the Bruins would finally beat them. I was wrong. I am dumb.
