Jaromir Jagr

Do the Boston Bruins Have a Chance Against the Pittsburgh Penguins?

I’m wrong more often than I’m not. I was wrong about how the Boston Bruins would fare in Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. I was wrong about the way the series against the New York Rangers would play out. I was even wrong about how the Bruins’ defense, with Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference, and Wade Redden out, would be the weakest part of the team’s game.

Now, the Bruins look like a team destined for success, playing some of their best hockey all season by rallying in Game 7 to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs and making quick work of the New York Rangers in five games. For the second time in three years, the Bruins will make a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, becoming one of the final four teams remaining in a shortened, grueling 2013 NHL season. It’s hard to bet against these Bruins.

The only problem is the team that will be lined-up on the other end of the ice.

Analyzing Jaromir Jagr’s First Game as a Boston Bruin

It’s been awhile since the Boston Bruins acquired an all-star of this caliber.

You know, the type of player that people take notice of from the minute they step on for a change. The type of player who gets an ovation whenever he touches the puck. The type of player who has to be the last player to hit the ice, even after the back-up goaltender (yes, this happened).

That’s the type of player Jaromir Jagr is and that’s kind of what it was like in his first game as a Bruin on Thursday night.
