Matt Beleskey would like you to know the Boston Bruins are going to bring it. Again.
Hours after the Bruins spanked the Detroit Red Wings in a must-win game, scoring four goals in bunches in the first and third periods, Beleskey pointed out he wants there to be no doubt in the building Saturday, when the Ottawa Senators come into town. No doubts in the dressing room, and none in the stands.
"Don't come to the game if you're expecting a letdown," Beleskey said, according to CSNNE.com's Joe Haggerty. "I don't care if you're there.
"We're going to play hard and we're going to try and get the job done. I think the fans are pretty good here and I know they all want us to win on Saturday. I'm sure they'll be there in their black and gold on Saturday ready to go."
Chants of "We want playoffs!" have been the norm in Boston of late, and Thursday was no exception.
The Bruins are a .500 team at home this season, at 17-17-6. They're on the cusp of the playoffs thanks to their road record. But they must win at home, and get some help, in order to reach the postseason. They likely won't know their fate until Sunday night.
Enjoy the weekend, Bruins fans.
