3. The Boston Bruins are showing up on time

A lot of Boston’s struggles last season could be traced back to one problem. The team would struggle early on and couldn’t dig themselves out of the hole they built in the 1st period of games.

It would be like the Bruins got all the energy sucked out of them. They looked like a completely different team.

This season something that has been noticeable is how Boston has gotten off to amazing starts. 10 of the Bruins 16 goals came in the 1st period.

Again if Boston wants to be succesful they need to continue to do this. They can not let their foot off the gas pedal.

Next. Charlie McAvoy will pay off. dark

Now the Bruins get a slight break as they don’t have their next game until Thursday. That game will definitely be one that you want to watch. The Tampa Bay Lightning come to town and this will be a game that will show if Boston can hang with the big boys.
