The Bruins are off to a rocky start this season but that may not be a bad thing. Last season they were very impressive but they expected more than what they achieved by season's end. They have been hit hard by the injury bug, but it is early and this could prove to work in their favor down the road. Anything can happen and by already having to call up guys from Providence it shows that they have to try and be on top of their game always. There is no room for content, and it seems as if this year's squad has learned that lesson early.

Zdeno Chara, Matt Hunwick, and Mark Stuart all put in extra time on the ice before and after practice. That is a sign of players who want to improve and get better. Just another way of staying focused. Matt Kalman of ESPN has a nice piece on how the team is doing just that.

Vladimir Sabotka, Brad Marchand, and Guillaume Lefevrbe will now provide the much needed urgency this team seemed to be lacking as they battle for playing time. These players are noted for the way they throw their weight around and also their gritty playing attitudes.
