Perfect opening performance for James Hagens?

The obvious story here is that the Bruins saw exactly what they wanted to see out of James Hagans.

Six goals in two games, four goals in the second game, scored all the Bruins goals, scored the water bottle snap game winner in three on three OT, a water bottle shot to win the game, you know, coming off the sideboards and just snapping one from the circle.

And basically all of his goals were kind of like that from the circle, just wrists, deadly wrist shots, laser beam wrist shots.

where he was just beating the goalie, just torturing the goalie with a shot.

Power play goals, you know, pretty much all of them.

And, you know, there was a lot to like.

He used his speed.

He used his skill.

He looked aggressive.

He looked like he was trying to make things happen rather than be tentative or, you know, where last year I think his confidence was a little feeling things out at the NHL level.

He did not look like that against his peers.

He looked completely in control, dominant, ready to shoot the puck when it was the right play and ready to do damage with that shot.

you know, look more like a goal scorer than I've seen him look.
