"The Bruins flew home from Washington in plenty of time Sunday night to watch the Super Bowl, from kickoff to heartbreaking Hail Mary.

No doubt the B's players were as a disappointed as any New England fan, but they did have the consolation of knowing that earlier in the day they delivered maybe their best 60-minute performance in a long time.

The B's have begun a very difficult stretch of their schedule, three weeks that will go a long way toward determining their playoff seed. Eight-of-10 games will be on the road against some tough opponents."
