Patrice Bergeron gets his feet wet.

Patrice Bergeron scored his first goal in what must have seemed like an eternity.
Other tallies by Sabotka with a pair, Sturm and Ference for the B\'s
Plekanec on a breakaway with a great feed from A Kostitsyn and Maxwell has the other marker.

18:12 - Sturm finishes a nice breakout by Kessel, who waited until the last possible moment to pass across to his linemate and beat Denis.

15:45 - Axelsson scores on a tip in. It\'s 7-2 Boston.

8:53 - Heard in the press box, \"Wardo on the back door!\"
Aaron took a very nice pass from Patrice Bergeron to beat Denis. 8-2, Boston.

8:45 - A minor tussle between Jeremy Reich and someone named Flinn is followed at 8:42 by Shawn Thornton absolutely destroying Steve Begin in a grudge match.
Thorts pounded Begin with both hands to earn a TKO.

7:36 - A (missed) charge by one of the Kostitsyns leads to Ference earning the Gordie Howe hattrick. He pulled the lights out on Andrei and hammered away at him. Montreal is clearly annoyed by the score. I am pretty sure this is not over. There is a lot of jawing between both boxes.


Plakanec scored again for the Habs and it sounds like he and A Kostitsyn are clicking early.

Patrice Bergeron played like a man on a mission and was named first star. So far so good.

4 points tonight and he just looked fantastic. Best player on the ice. Hope this is just the beginning for him. Him and Sturm and great chemistry tonight.

That\'s quite the blow-out by the Bruins. They\'ve got to feel good about that, even if it is only an exhibition game.

Oh baby; can\'t wait to see how Patrice does this year. Should\'ve shut all his critics up with his exceptional play tonight. Concussion problems? I didn\'t see any tonight
