Fresh Links: Spoon Fed Edition

Ryan Spooner brought his game last night, leading the charge to even the score and then go ahead in OT.

Spooooon! (and oh, HAI, old friend and former Bruin Mark Stuart)

<li> In case you missed it, here are notes from the game as it progressed. [<a href="http://nesn.com/2013/09/bruins-jets-live-bs-begin-to-wrap-up-preseason-with-one-of-two-games-versus-winnipeg/">NESN</a>]</li>

<li> Ryan Spooner was the momentum changer, and Niklas Svedberg kept the Bruins in the game. [<a href="http://thespokedblog.com/spooner-sharp-bruins-jets-ot/">SpokedBBlog</a>]</li>

<li> Niklas Svedberg was solid in goal. Gregory Campbell is still blocking shots. [<a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/bruins/post/_/id/13716/final-buzzer-spooner-svedberg-impress">ESPN</a>]</li>

<li> Loui Eriksson handled a pass from Spooner for the game winning goal in OT. Enjoy Kevan Miller and Daniel Paille for the save at 1:42 point... Svedberg surived a scrambly second period. (Video, 4:32) [<a href="http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=684454">NHL</a>]</li>

<li> Goaltending plans may change for tonight, as the Bruins may want another look at Chad Johnson. Spooner understands that he may be the victim of the numbers this season, and the Jordan Caron/Nick Johnson decision may simply be decided by who is less likely to be snapped up on waivers.

<li> Thoughts on the game: Patrice Bergeron uncharacteristically took a familiar penalty, and Dougie Hamilton came out sharp in the first period, only to take two penalties, one costing a goal.

<li> Gregory Campbell is cited as an example of how rivals can drive each others' performances. [<a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-09-26/sports/ct-spt-0927-rivalries-sports-20130927_1_sebastian-coe-james-hunt-1976-world-championship">ChicagoTribune</a>]</li>
