The Bruins fans at the arena went crazy when McGregor came out on the ice before the game started.

His motivational speech clearly worked – Boston got an overtime win against a tough opponent. The winning goal was scored by Brad Marchand who celebrated it with McGregor’s walk.

McGregor itself was celebrating a win with the fans.
