The Boston Bruins still seem a little pissed off at the Carolina Hurricanes after they eliminated them from the playoffs last year and they also appeared to want to prove themselves after suffering an embarrassing 4-1 loss against the Washington Capitals in the season opener on Thursday night.

The Bruins definitely came out on the ice and proved that, when they are on their game, they are virtually unstoppable. Michael Ryder and Blake Wheeler put the puck in the back of the net just 26 seconds apart in the first period and the team scored four-power play goals to beat the Hurricanes 7-2. 7.
“We wanted to come out and put our better foot forward tonight and I think we did that,” said Marc Savard. “The biggest thing is we played simple tonight.” Savard had a goal and two assists.
Of course, as is often the case in a blowout like this one, things got pretty heated between the teams and resulted in so many penalties that it’s pointless to list them all.
Here’s a video in case you need a better idea of what happened last night.
