At 2-2-0, getting a read on the Bruins prior to their flight out to Colorado had been a challenging endeavor beyond the normal “it’s absolutely criminally early in the season” caveat.
Yeah, their defensive-zone coverage had its lapses, they were taking too many penalties, and their middle six had been largely AWOL. But they were still 2-2-0 and both losses had come against the defending Stanley Cup champions, so how badly could one truly freak out?
Well, after Wednesday’s game in Colorado, the answer should be not that badly, as the Bruins turned in a strong showing against the Avalanche and put forth perhaps their most complete effort in a 5-3 win.
