<li> Welcome to the Bruins, Jarome Iginla! Why the "Johnny Rocket" may take a back seat to Johnny Boychuk's mean wrister. Malcolm Subban impressed more than just his family in the stands.

<li> The KIL line looked great. Chad Johnson and Nick Johnson were impressive, for different reasons. Torey Krug shone, and Carl Soderberg was a mixed bag. [<a href="http://bostonherald.com/sports/bruins_nhl/boston_bruins/2013/09/jarome_iginla_shows_off_his_stuff">BostonHerald</a>]</li>
