4/9: P-Bruins End In Style
With a season that has been plagued with more injuries to the team as well as in Boston, resulting in absolutely ridiculous (at times) numbers of recalls at the same time, the P-Bruins barely had any of their original team members left for their last several games. But, with a team full of college kids, ECHL callups and more, the P-Bruins played a fantastic game today and beat Hartford 2-1 making for a super end to a most bizarre season, and hopefully a great omen of things to come in the playoffs!
