Pens-Bruins Game 1 Fall-Out: Room for Improvement

Dynamite reactions from the fans along the boards.  Kudos to Beard Kid and Pointing Lady.
 
Saturday night's game gave us a taste of what the Pens are in for in this series: they won't be shut out in every game, but they will have to work for every inch of ice and every scoring chance, game after game.  We knew that the Bruins were no joke, and now we've seen how hard it will be to play against them.  It's not likely to be a very fun series, but let's not jump to conclusions and liken this to Pens-Flyers last year, as I heard a few people do.  The Bruins weren't in the Penguins' heads, and the Pens didn't unravel; they were outplayed by an elite team, showed some frustration, and tonight we'll see how they respond.  Some notes and observations from Game 1 after the jump.
