The moment we've all been waiting for (sort of) will arrive tonight for the Boston Bruins. Even though their season doesn't technically get underway until October 9th, their preseason will kick off in a battle against the Montreal Canadiens this evening. The game won't be played on NESN, but it is being broadcast on RDS (Canadian television) and might potentially be obtainable through online streams.
Bruins rookie Tyler Seguin cannot wait to get things started. Especially with the injury to Marc Savard, Seguin figures to have a very prominent role on the big squad from the get-go. He's been practicing on what reporters are naming the PPF line (past-present-future) consisting of Mark Recchi, Patrice Bergeron, and Tyler Seguin. Seguin played all three positions across the line at some point in Monday's intrasquad, but he reportedly settled in at left wing after a few shifts and ultimately set up Patrice Bergeron on a nifty feed for a goal. All three players said they would be elated to play in each other's company in the regular season, but they all similarly noted that nothing is a sure thing with the whole preseason ahead of them.
One foot will hit the ground tonight for Boston in their steps toward the regular season. Who better to face than the Habs? It should be a high intensity game that sets the tone for the young guns on this team as well as the veterans who will be leaned on for leadership and guidance. It should be one hell of a roller coaster and there are certainly some high expectations for this season, so we can all just sit back and enjoy as things get underway tonight.
