When asked about his longevity in the NHL, Mark Recchi often credits his love of red wine.

Tonight the veteran winger, who scored the game-winning goal, and the Bruins benefited from an on-ice drop of “Merlot” from Gregory Campbell, who keyed the Bruins’ dramatic 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh.

WILMINGTON, Mass. – Maybe Bruins forwards Brad Marchand, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton should’ve just stuck with the name “Energy Line” or accepted their status as the club’s fourth line.

BOSTON — There’s only two things Gregory Campbell knows how to do in order to stem the tide of controversy that has come his way because of the recent revelations that his father – longtime NHL Executive VP Colin Campbell – used emails to subordinates to criticize Bruins center Marc Savard.

If Bruins center Gregory Campbell is benefiting from nepotism right now, it’s impossible to tell.

With his rarely-wavering sandpaper approach to the game and his ever-increasing penalty-minute total – he’s at 26 PIM through eight games – Gregory Campbell long ago lost his chance at the Lady Byng Award for gentlemanly play.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Two seasons ago, Gregory Campbell contributed a career-high 13 goals for the Florida Panthers. That same season, Bruins winger Shawn Thornton also set a personal best with six scores for the Black and Gold.
