p.s I know he's out of the lineup but these fire Bergeron tees will be on sale Black Friday. Same with the Boston/Barstool hockey sweaters.
It's always fun beating the Habs. The 16-3-5 Boston Bruins are back in action tomorrow night in Ottawa on Thanksgiving Eve.
It was a great night to win a hockey game.
