Bruins Beat Habs 4-2, But No One Saw It Because NESN Sucks

(Bergy's first goal)

There's only so much promoting of NESN I can do. I've done my part. I've promoted a Red Sox team that saw a 36% drop in ratings, I've been all about NESN.com for the past 3 months, I've even gone to bat for John Henry's wife's show, After the Game. But I'm done. After tonight's debacle, I'm officially ready to thrown hands with NESN.

While some watched the Red Sox fight for 3rd place tonight on NESN, the Bruins were playing their first preseason game against none other than the Montreal Canadiens. Write your own story line, because there are many. First game after the collapse last year, Seguin's first game, Horton's first game, a rivalry renewed, Tuukka's time to shine, whatever. But no, NESN wanted to show a game that was a bigger buzz kill than Buzz Killington.

And, for the record, I'm not saying Bruins preseason games should take precedence over Red Sox baseball. I'm saying there is literally no reason why the Bruins game shouldn't have been shown on NESN Plus.

Seriously, this is the most anticipated season in awhile for the B's and no one gets to watch. Bullshit. Fortunately, due to my unhealthy passion for the Bruins, I was able to watch the game on some website. Unfortunately, the whole thing was in gay French. This is basically what it sounded like:

Bon apetit sahclay blur Patrice Bergeron. Paulay vu francais joonoo saykwah Johnny Boychuk bagette. At least that's what it sounded like; a bunch of French non sense, then Bruins players' names clear as a bell, and then more non sense. It was actually kind of funny.

But enough of that jazz, let's get to the game.

Bruins - 4 Canadiens - 2

Overall, this game was eerily similar to Game 7 against the Flyers. The B's looked fantastic early on, scoring 3 goals in the 1st period. But they struggled through the rest of the game.

- Patrice Bergeron had 2 sick goals. Just undressing Carey Price against his will both times. And one was short handed. A.K.A, He looked great.

- On Horton's first shift, his first shot was a goal. He sniped one under Price's left arm pit from just above the right face off circle, or as I call them, titties. In case you were wondering, I screamed like a little girl.

- Seguin definitely looked a little lost, but that's to be expected early on considering he's an 18-year-old boy going up against men. As the game went on, he got more comfortable and even tallied an assist.

- My boy Johnny Boychuk blasted one from the point that I'm convinced went through Carey Price's vagina for a goal.

- Tuukka looked like he was in mid-season form, saving 36 of 38 shots. He's going to lower opponents' self esteem this year.

- Maxime Sauve, Ryan Spooner, and Jordan Caron all played and all looked like they can play at an NHL level. Caron definitely played the best out of all of them, but they were all pretty solid.

- I don't know if Dennis Seidenberg is an alcoholic, but he played like he was bombed. Just poor defense all night. I'm not worried though, unless he really does like to drink during games.
