Bruins channel their Big, Bad days in physical master classThe only real surprise here - this column was written after a win, not after a loss.
There was great buzz in the arena and a sprinkling of good signage when the Bruins came out for warmups before Saturday’s Game 2 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. In a town that’s gone soft on its teams — rarely is heard a disouraging word about the sacred Pats, the smug Sox, or the ever-glass-half-full Green Team — Bruins fans have retained their edge, dignity, and demands.
There is no fooling these people. Put a bad product on the ice or show something less than 100 percent effort and they will come at you with pitchforks. The B’s fan dynamic is almost exactly what it was 40 years ago and this is a good thing.
The Bruins rewarded their fans with bone-crunching hits in a 4-1 victory Saturday night. It was the total opposite of Boston’s dead-ass, 4-1 loss in the series opener. Playing one of their best games of the season, the Bruins squared the series with 60 minutes of blood and thunder hockey.

Two things:
1. This town may have "gone soft," but you are still a glorified asshat, CHB!
2. Where did you hear the term "dead-ass?" Did you mix your sayings?
How many people younger than me (60 something) have any idea where he dug up "Hockey Krishna" from? Timely Reference NOT.
