Do we consider this a "bounce back" game? We mean, the Bruins were the overall better team against Vancouver. It is just hard to crack turtle shells.This game wasn't pretty to start. The Bruins overheard Jets fans in the stands talking about the early 90s battles against the Bruins and the Bruins were confused because they played the Thrashers last year. Once the Bruins realized Jets fans are delusional they started kicking ass and Atlantipeg didn't even see it coming.We want to apologize in advance. You know how much the DOY staff loves Thornton.
