Fresh Links: Highway Robbery

When we left off, the Bruins had stolen two late night wins on the Western road trip.

• Bullet points from the weekend included noting the 5 goals scored by rookies as well as two nights of robbery from the backup goaltender, who apparently only knew a smattering of English when he arrived in Canada to play Junior hockey. Boston Globe
• Jake DeBrusk played one heck of a game after having been relegated to the press box to watch the Toronto loss. Bonus- Kenny Agostino has been returned to Providence. Boston Herald
• DeBrusk's response was all that Bruce Cassidy could have hoped for. WEEI
• What a difference a healthy David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron have made! Bruins Daily
• Hats off to the #1 Goaltender of Kazakhstan. Anton Khudobin squashed 36 shots in Saturday's win over the Sharks. DeBrusk punced on a loose puck, Peter Cehlarik FINALLY didn't have a goal called back, and Kevan Miller took the length of the rink to feed goal scorer Danton Heinen. MassLive
• A Tale of Two Goalies- Dobby's performances compared to the Shark's #1 (and former momentary Bruin) Martin Jones' makes an interesting comparison. Puck Daddy
• Not to stir the goalie controversy pot, but Tuukka Rask just has not been his usual stellar self recently. Boston Globe
• Noel Acciari enjoys a physical game, while managing to never to lose his equilibrium. Boston Herald
• Meanwhile, in Providence, the Hershey (or "wrong") Bears beat the PBruins after scoring a quick two goals within minutes of the start of the game Friday. Welp. (With video) Providence Journal Payback was sweet on Sunday, when the PBruins topped the Bears in a 4-1 win. The Sentinel
