The Big Rig was not going to pump the brakes in Beantown.
Pat Maroon had never registered a National Hockey League hat trick before the Oilers visit with the Boston Bruins in January. The winger had never scored more than 12 goals in a season. As a team, the Oilers hadn't recorded a regulation win in Boston since November 1996, when Mariusz Czerkawski's three-goal effort helped Edmonton pump Boston 6-0.
But all that would change in one game, due in large part to Edmonton's rugged left winger.
