Hitting The Links: Just Like Old Times Edition

What a game last night, eh? Despite it being...well, the Maple Leafs, the Bruins' play was reminiscent of three months ago, when they were dropping laughers on other teams left and right. It felt good to bust the losing streak with a fun romp like that, for sure, and while they may not be able to sustain the rest of the season with games like that, let's hope this two-game win streak continues.

The Bruins' goal differential is back atop the league. They've reclaimed the "most goals scored" title. And Milan Lucic fought Mike Komisarek, reminiscent of some awesome fights from four years ago. What can be better than that?

After the jump, college hockey brackets galore, and catching up with some Bruins prospects...
