Perhaps this writer should think twice about calling BC’s season over before it had barely begun.  After five games against ACC opponents, the Eagles are sitting just one game under .500 at 2-3.  Wait, scratch that.

But hopefully, beyond revenge, Saturday night was a preview of who the Bruins really are this season, not the team on Thursday that looked to still be stuck in preseason mode.
The win is a big confidence boost to fans, especially for those wondering if the B’s can be the scoring powerhouse they were last season, now without Phil Kessel. But, it doesn’t look like that’s going to be a problem. The B’s proved that their ability to score can run deep: seven different players scored the seven goals.
Defensively, the B’s didn’t allow a goal until [...]
