Anderson: Bruins winger David Pastrnak is getting targeted (and then some), an appealing fourth line, and more thoughts and notes from a 4-3 overtime loss.
Bruins defenseman John Moore tried to make Zack Smith answer for his hit on David Pastrnak, and while it didn't work, the effort was not lost on teammates.
Anderson: A 'foundational' week got off to a strong start in New Jersey, Bergeron misses another one, and taking a look at some potential trade targets.
David Pastrnak became the second-fastest Bruin to score 150 goals in his career and Bruins defensemen scored three as the B's dominated the New Jersey Devils by a 5-1 final.
Five games into the Stanley Cup Final, the Bergeron line has yet to pull its weight. It's hard to believe they're going to let their season end like this.
And so here we are, on the morn of Game 3 in the Gateway to the West, and we are reminded of something we learned long ago in the Sports Hub of the universe: there is no easy path to a title. Championships are not given so much as they are earned, and the Bruins are going to have to fight for it, starting tonight at the Enterprise Center.
