David Krejci Looks to Continue Domination of Flyers As Bruins Prepare to Begin Stanley Cup Defense Against Philadelphia
BOSTON -- The Bruins' results against the Flyers in recent years have been mixed, to put it mildly. Boston sunk to the lowest of lows against Philadelphia when the Bruins squandered a 3-0 lead in the second round in 2010.

Ty Anderson: Will Tyler Seguin deliver in year two?
While it was lost on most given the insane hype that was generated around his arrival, the truth was that Tyler Seguin arrived to Boston in the summer of 2010 on rather incommodious terms.
