The Bruins may have shifted away from fighting, doing so in favor of some welcomed goal-scoring prowess, but they do a brawler in their crowd tonight: Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly.
Just one night after Kelly received a standing ovation in his first appearance on a Fenway mound since his fight with the Yankees' Tyler Austin, Kelly was greeted with yet another standing ovation, this time from the rockin' TD Garden crowd in attendance for Game 2 between the Bruins and Maple Leafs.

Perhaps Kelly can go for a standing ovation trifecta with a return to the Garden on Sunday for Game 1 between the Celtics and Bucks.
