Winnipeg Jets @ Boston Bruins game recap video, on October 8, 2015.

After the Bruins season opener tonight, many fans on social media were saying that this is going to be a long season. If the Bruins keep playing how they did tonight against the Jets, then yes it's going to be a long season for them and for us fans.

The Bruins opened the game playing well in the first period, but after that it was all downhill as the Jets took over the game and capitalized on the large amount of Bruins mistakes. It doesn't get any easier as the Bruins host Montreal on Saturday.
