Boston Bruins‘ undrafted, rookie defenseman Torey Krug(47) has gotten his breaks early with games in the NHL straight out of college play last season and got an assist, played in one contest this season and got an assist and adds  first appearance in a Stanley Cup Playoff game and gets himself the game-tying goal on the way to an overtime victory in his debut, which happened to be game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. New York Rangers.

He’s had an outstanding first season in the AHL with Providence Bruins.

He was first on the team in goals, assists and points for d-men; and second in the league in goals and tied for third overall in points and third overall for rookies in assists.

NHL Eastern Conference number 4 seed goes against number 5 in the Quarterfinals: Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden.

The Black & Gold won the regular season series 3-1 but the Leafs are a much better team coming down the stretch.

After letting up the opening tally, the Bruins absolutely blew the doors off game 1 with a 4-1 win.

Did the start of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs awaken a sleeping giant?

They do boast 19 players that have won the ultimate prize and one who won a Calder Cup Championship.

Nice to see Wade Redden and Kaspers Daugavins make the postseason roster. Redden scored the first B’s goal of the 2013 playoffs.
