Game 28 - Bruins at Penguins

1900

ROOT Sports

The Bruins come into town tonight to face YOUR PITTTTSSSSSSBUUURRRRRGGGGGHHHHH PANG WINS.  The Pens and Bruins come in one and two in the East respectively, so this could be a potential second or third round playoff matchup. 

Several underlying themes in this game, concussions being one of them.  If you're reading this blog you probably know about the Cooke/Savard incident.  Perhaps what you don't know is that Crosby and Patrice Bergeron, for lack of better terms, are somewhat "concussion brothers."  Both missed significant time with concussions, and Bergeron actually gave support to Crosby during his dark days.

The Bruins always bring an entertaining game when they play the Pens.  With the teams owning two of the last three Stanley Cups between them, that should be the case tonight, despite the Pens injury situation.
