Hitting The Links: Licking Your Wounds Edition

It's not typical that a fight night at the Garden turns sour for the Bruins. Think back to last year's crazy games against Dallas, Montreal, and Atlanta - line brawls were followed by goals, more shenanigans, more goals, usually no goals for the other team.

Last night, not so much.

The Bruins have practice today before regrouping for their game on Thursday, and hopefully they can use some of that repressed anger to focus on lighting the lamp instead of cooling their heels in the box.

After the jump, more on what last night mean, plus Anze Kopitar is ridiculous, the draft age might go up, TESLA COILS!!!1, and why taunting is hilarious featuring Brandon Dubinsky and our very favorite Kevin Bieksa...
