[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This will be updated .... as events unfold.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Please god let the Bruins mercy kill us in this game.

 

[Magua]

Like I said in the other thread, does this result even matter? Doesn't seem like it to the powers that be. We know what this team is, we know its flaws and shortcomings, whether they win a game or two or continue losing in at least more respectable fashion.

Single game evaluations are pointless. They can win and management and coaching can pat themselves on the back while the actual trouble spots don't get erased. In fact, they'd probably only metastasize because they think the process was already sound.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Shut 'er dahn.

 

[freakydallas13]

Not watching this game if Hack isn't fired.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

It's gonna be another shitty game if Hak is still around. They'll be outchanced, outshot and outworked for 2/3 of the game at least. It'll be a pitiful effort and give up 3 or 4 goals in doing so. I want them to set a new franchise record in losses with 10.

 

[flyersjim73]

Going to this game with my girlfriend who is a Bruins fan. Depressing on so many levels. Alcohol will be consumed.

 

[OzFlyers]

We want a point! We want a point!

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I'll follow the team. Definitely not watching.

 

[dats81]

How many more games...ahem losses until we are going into the XMas break?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[kelmitchell]

Today is my bday....so we still have hope this jackass is fired, and if hes not well then, lets go bruins!!!!! Tax our f***ing asses, put our legs behind our heads and make us your little bitch

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Today is my bday....so we still have hope this jackass is fired, and if hes not well then, lets go bruins!!!!! Tax our ****ing asses, put our legs behind our heads and make us your little *****

Happy Birthday, buddy - don't work too hard.

 

[kelmitchell]

Happy Birthday, buddy - don't work too hard.

Im actually off for a funeral, so i wont be working at all which is good because my back has been killing me lol

 

[Rebels57]

We want 10!
We want 10!
We want 10!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

We want 10!
We want 10!
We want 10!

Oh so do I. The first team in history to go 10 straight wins in the previous season and then 10 straight losses in the next season. I don't think it's going to stop at 10 with Hak at the helm.

 

[Rebels57]

For those that dont think Hextall was supporting Hakstol last night, Craig Button disagrees.

 

[klutch]

Here we go!

 

[Domino666]

For those that dont think Hextall was supporting Hakstol last night, Craig Button disagrees.

This shit is weak as hell, Hexy doesn’t want to admit he’s wrong in hiring this baffon, it’s f***ed that the young kids are suffering through this dipshits “game planning”

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm just going to say this for the record - nothing in the world would make me happier than to see Hakstok turn this around and make me eat wagonloads of crow. I would love that, and not just because I am ****ing starving. I can't see it happening whatsoever, but I would love to be proven wrong by this guy. Because ultimately all any of us want is to have a fighting chance at a/nother title in our lifetime.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Rask can use this game to get his season back on track. Here is hoping the fans get on Hextall with the chants too

 

[wuf]

I hope it's at least a close beating. I want my girlfriend to see me excited. Like, we score a goal, they score a goal, we score a goal, they score a goal, we score a goal, they score a goal, it goes to overtime, nobody scores, and we lose in the shootout. That would be ideal.

Also, if some Veteran forward presence gets hurt in a not so threatening way and Lindblom can maybe make his debut at some point, that would be friggin' great.

But then again, we'd probably play Mark Alt for some reason.

 

[SuchySays]

No point in rooting for losses anymore. The boys just had a prototypical "we quit on our coach" effort and nothing happened. We just gotta hope Hakstol grows and gets better because he's here until the day we all die

 

[Striiker]

For those that dont think Hextall was supporting Hakstol last night, Craig Button disagrees.

That means nothing because Craig Button isn't following this team closely.
