Hitting The Links: Facing The Devil Edition

The Bruins head to the Prudential Center again tonight to take on the New Jersey Devils. Every time they play there I wonder: will the Lets go Bruins chants be audible once again? Or will they be drowned out by the contingent of Nordiques fans that's headed down stateside this time, and hardly a Devils fan in sight? Jack Edwards' call of that game was priceless.

Anyway, after the jump, some thoughts on the Big Two in Nashville, Brian Burke is awesome outside of his job, and the Bruins are ready to welcome back Brad Marchand...
