This kinda sucked to sit through but I will recant as much of it as I can.
First Period:
How can I best describe last night's contest...
I'll go with "uneven".
From the very get-go it appeared that this particular group was not entirely ready for much of any sustained attack, defense, or really much of anything other than a token effort. They were outmatched. One player who showed up with the intention of playing was Malcolm Subban, who was strong through the first 17 minutes, being called on frequently to stop odd-man-rush chances that occured when the aggressive style of the Bruins this evening caved under pressure and led to players chasing the puck carrier.
