Seguin and Peverley sure did make Bruins fans remember them, if somehow Bruins fans have forgotten what they did for the Bruins in the not-so-distant past, by scoring in the shootout to beat the Bruins. It must have felt good to score the goals to win the game against the team that traded you, especially for Seguin who was booed throughout the game, which I still have no idea why they were booing him. Those who booed Seguin, you do realize that he didn't ask to be traded, right?
Anyways, the game started well for the Bruins as they outplayed the Stars in the first period but as the game went on, the Stars came back and took advantage of Bruins mistakes to tie the game. It would eventually go to a shootout where, as I stated above, Seguin and Peverley scored the goals for the Stars to win the game 3-2.
