If there is one thing that the Boston Bruins know, it's that afternoon games and the Bruins never go well together. I'm not breaking any news here, but the Boston playing an afternoon game sometimes doesn't end well. They were hosting the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon at the TD Garden, and the second time this year, the Blueshirts were in town for another afternoon game.
The first time was the day after Thanksgiving, and the Rangers spanked the Black and Gold, 6-2. The last thing the Bruins could afford was another performance like that.
