A must see big mac video with habs fans and Chara.

It made me LOL.

Love the video. Confession: I'd hug Pacioretty for a Qdoba burrito, but not for anything from McDonalds.

Chara was absent from practice, but Clode says he's expecting him to play tonight. Is it twin time yet?

That is hilarious, thanks for posting. I like the one guy who practically wet his pants. Chara is very intimidating when you see him up close.

Let's win this and get 2nd place back.

Go B's!

Now he has a good reason to be tired.

Congrats Big Z !!!!

Was away in Cancun for the last week so I missed the last few games and Acciari debut. Seemed like he did play very well on the 4th line. Seems like a huge upgrade over useless Joonas.

Can't wait for tonight to see the post deadline Bruins for the first time and all the new comers: Liles, Stempniak, Acciari.

Phew! It's good news. I just saw on Yahoo that Chara is day to day. I came here immediately to find out what was up. Congrats big Z!

Have to crush this Florida team tonight. Should have a playoff atmosphere. Any distance that the Bruins can make between them and the 8th/9th spot is good. The one team I'm really worried about is Philly. They are something like 8 points back, but they have 2 games in hand. Plus they've been playing good hockey lately.

The Bruins have a bit of their swagger back. Keep it going.

Hopefully Tampa give us some help tonight by disposing of the Flyers. I'm sure we'll take care of business.

Nice thread by the way, as per.

No he has a good reason to be tired.

I'll tell you Susan when my twins were born I had never ever been that exhausted before or since.

I guarantee you the Bride was even more exhausted. Just saying

When my mother had us my father's joke was she had a litter. For some reason she failed to see the humor in it......

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The Bruins now have 4 legit lines and a better defense, although K. Miller did not make the trip thanks to Ovechkin.

 

[sooshii]

Congrats Captain!

Can't actually see Chara eating a Big Mac in real life....

I would rather see Tampa lose...I want the Bruins to win the division...

 

[Sheppy]

4-3 Bruins in OT

Marchand, Pastrnak, Connolly & Acciari

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Likewise, but that would the cherry on the cake. If the Flyers keep winning there may not be a cake at all. I just checked out their schedule and they have Tampa x2, Panthers and Wings in the next 4. The wild card race is getting hot

That is hilarious, thanks for posting. I like the one guy who practically wet his pants. Chara is very intimidating when you see him up close.

I like the 2 guys that look like they're actually enjoying the hug, and when Chara says to the girls "Say Go Boston".

...and yes, he is soooo tall and intimidating for sure. I wouldn't want to get him mad.

 

[BsEuphoria]

On the road again!

At least get 1 of the next 2. I expect a pretty damn good effort tonight after the adversity they faced last game. Make a statement!

Congrats Mr and Mrs Chara....wishing them a beautiful life....

I will predict that one baby meausres 3'5'' and the other 3'4''......

Now that the twins are born all the Chara trade talks will resurface again.....

My prediction will 5-2 B's because they will want to win it for Big Z and K.Miller.

 

[Ratty]

Who's in for K. Miller?

Get the two points to pass FL. Keep RS off the scoresheet!
