Seek and Destroy!
I finally got back to the Garden on 1/10 for the Carolina game. The game was a good display of what has made this Bruins team so successful all season. Great hitting, lots of offense, and a pretty stingy defense.
With Luch out of the line up, the B’s called up Byron Bitz who certainly made his presense known. Bitz collected four hits and his first NHL point in his first game up. In a side note, I saw him walk by as I waited for the players to leave. Unfortunately I wasn’t 100% sure it was him (with his parents), so I didn’t approach him. Sorry Bitz! Great game nonetheless.
The title of this post comes from the highlight of the game: Hunwick’s first NHL fight. From the ferocious mid ice hit to defending himself amongst a pack of ‘Canes, it was nice to see Matt come to life. You could tell in the stands that he was fired up during the fight, and the last haymaker he threw was something else! After the fight, Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy” played in the Garden and the whole place was electric. That moment ranks up there with Game 6 last year and the Stars game this year. Awesome fight not just because he won, but because he stood his ground.
