More like the Boo-ins, am I right?

(More quality jeering and Halloween content coming your way soon!)

Boston seems like they are still adjusting to the new goaltender. We may have an opportunity here with Rask no longer on their team.

I am not overlooking them though, the perfection line is still as deadly as ever and until we beat them in the postgame I will always treat them as a dangerous opponent.

I know this isn't the main GDT but I'm saying it anyway. Just f***ing win please.

Well this one won't be as exciting on the 75" as seeing it in person with my kids, and listening to a drunk guy yell "you suck" over and over in the 300s, and an old guy mumble-shouting some type of indiscernible profanity. My kids were laughing all night. It was awesome.

I’d rather see this than the game.

Don't lose please

I think our depth and them losing Krejci gives us a big advantage compared to previous seasons. And yeah they've struggled a bit in net without Rask, although Swayman had great stats last year and in his 1st start this year. I'm confident about this game but definitely not overlooking them.

Also, I haven't watched them this year so couldn't say for sure but I've heard from Bruins fans here in Boston that Bergeron appears to have noticeably lost a step. If that's the case, compounded with Rask/Krejci losses, we should be able to handle them at home tonight. But we shall see soon enough.

May need to kick off the postgame invasion of the Bruins board, get this party started

 

[djboos22]

It's just been so beautiful watching Freddie play behind our team right now. Does Freddie get the start?

NOT THE BEST IDEA… POST GAME VISITS ARE CONSIDERED BAD MANNERS AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AN O6 BOARD INFESTED WITH MODS.

IF YOU WANT TO INVADE… PRE-GAME.

but how can we beat them in the postgame if we invade the pregame? does not compute

You want us to drink before invading their board?!?! Sold, on it.

Also, how many frontal assaults have you led in your military days? Based on the command to pre-game (drink) before a suicidal mission, it sounds like you’re a pro

We're not going undefeated on the season, and this winning streak has stretched long enough that it's only a matter of days/hours until it breaks. Not necessarily because we'll have a bad game, but because it's hockey and winning streaks are very hard to sustain.

Ideally it would be snapped in a trap game where we can just burn the film and move on, while shedding some pressure in the process. That would be one of the weekend games, or maybe the game in Chicago. But more likely it happens against an actual good team that just matches up with us and gets that little bit of extra voodoo one night. That would be this game.

Unlike our last two games, I actually don't expect us to go out there and crap the bed. I think this group has shown enough to warrant the benefit of the doubt... they're just good and will probably play fine. But a ref's call here, a bad bounce there, a superstar performance from one guy on the other team, that stuff is still going to be on the table even if we play the same as in the first 5 games.

Yeah, but.....please beat Boston and please please please don't shit the bed against Chicago. I'd be totally ok with a let down against the Yotes.

As a matter of fact, my military experience is non-existent. BUT I'M A PEOPLE PERSON.

ORDER MATTERS.

Yes of course, this applies to every game especially one against a proven top team like the Bruins. I'm just saying I think we should be viewed as the favorites, both externally and within the fanbase, whereas in the past we would never really be favorites against the Bruins.

Then what with the disorderly conduct SUCH AS YELLING IN OUR DOJO?

I would agree with that. The Bruins are likely viewing this game as a challenge to see where they are. In the past, that has been the Canes' role in the matchup.

 

[hockeynjune]

Yepp, kinda like the Red Wings last year. Everybody was like "WHAT'S UP W/THAT?"

Not having Chara also helps. I don't care that the guy was like 90 and staking with cement blocks, we shit ourselves when we saw him on the ice. Not having him there is a net positive for us.

Yeah, but.....please beat Boston and please please please don't shit the bed against Chicago. I'd be totally ok with a let down against the Yotes.

Yes, but at the same time judging by our history, can we really be a top 5 in the league Cup contending division winner if we don't shit ourselves every time we play Chicago?
