The Bruins were sketchy for stretches, but logged two pairs of goals to chase the Devils.

  • Take five... observations of the win. The Reilly Smith embellishment call was a flat out turd. [WEEI]
  • As for Seth Griffith, it turns out he had been in the sights of the Bruins brass for quite some time. It is high praise from Patrice Bergeron that he thinks Griffith pays attention to the details. [MassLive]

  • And Torey Krug was back. There were kind words from old warrior Jaromir Jagr, who still sees the Bruins as serious contenders. [TheBostonGlobe]
  • The Bruins are digging themselves out of their early hole, and Cory Schneider is trying to prove he can go an entire season. Several Bruins donated tickets for Military Appreciation Night. [PatriotLedger]
  • In honor of veterans, Mark Divver linked to a piece he wrote in 2011 about West Point graduate and former PBruin Zach McKelvie. [ProvidenceJournal]
  • And some hopeful news... it appears Carl Soderberg 's camp is making overtures to the Bruins. [@DominicTiano]
