the tank mentality once ingrained,can be an evil wood tiick that is near impossible to shake.Long live the curse of Ballard and Imlach.

Milestones Approaching

Patrice Bergeron is 2 assists shy of his 357th career assist, which will tie him with Adam Oates for 9th place on the club’s all-time
assist list

All depends which bear shows up

Ya, no pooh bear.

And if we're going by Care Bears...Grumpy, Champ Care Bear, Do Your Best Bear, maybe Funshine...definitely not Bedtime Bear, DayDream Bear, Tenderheart Bear, or Polite Panda.....Thanks-a-lot Bear can go either way...

28 posts on GD morning vs a rival ?
I remember when I was a kid, 40 years ago, they'd be over 8 pages of posts.

Keep it simple, put forth the effort, just win.

The Leafs, IMO, aren`t or haven`t been a true rival of this team in decades IMO. To be that, you have to have a consistent history of playoff hockey and we all know the Leafs history on that front, especially in recent years.

Honestly, feel more of a rivalry when the boys play the Flyers more than the Leafs and of course, there isn`t a rivalry for this Bruins fan which evokes more emotion from this fan than against the Habs

Leafs, for me, don`t even register as a true "rival"

I think you can trace the beginnings of the Leafs half century of being irrelevant in their dismissing of Bobby Orr because they thought he was to small to play in the NHL.

Wren Blair sold Orr on the concept that he could help make the Bruins great again and Orr bought into that. The Leafs in 1962 thought they would be an elite team forever.

The most telling example is how nobody in Montreal considers Toronto a rival.

The last time the Habs and Leafs met in the playoffs was in 1979

I still have them. The racoon has seen much better days as it's at least 25 yrs old lol

I remember sneaking out of work (MANY years ago) to wait in line to get her a care bear (they were the thing the kids wanted for Christmas and there were no more coming in in time to be under the tree in time).

She had many stuffed animals . Most were given away but her two favorites moved to California with her.

My grandfather did that with cabbage patch kids.

I don't have kids so it seems crazy to me but if I did, I'd be doing the same thing lol.

Mindblowing that the leafs could ignore a talent like Orr right in their back yard.That along with Harold and Punch could have cursed that franchise for eternity.

Keep in mind that Orr played at Maple Leaf Gardens in tournaments and they did not pursue Orr and his family. Very similar to the NY Yankees ignoring Yaz who grew up on Long Island.

In the days of the O6 there was an unwritten law in the NHL that the Habs had first pick on Quebec talent, Toronto had Ontario and the 4 US clubs had the rest of Canada and any Ontario and Quebec talent that was leftover.

I will be uncharacteristically out on a Saturday night. DVRing this one. Go B's!

 

[TCL40]

Would feel better seeing Gus in net rather than Rask, not confident with him between the pipes.

Rask has got to start winning home games at some point.

 

[ashnathan]

Ekkkk I can see why they're bring Max back in but I just don't like it. Id rather have Morrow on the wing than Max on the ice. This will be my first game Live in over a week, please don't let me down Bs!

Tuukka isn't going to get his mojo back unless he is played and gus simply isn't a legit NHL #1 goalie. The only chance this team has is if tuukka can return to top form.

 

[Bruin4Life]

Every time Tuukka plays at least its a nice high scoring game. Not Tuukka 2015 time if 3+ goals are let in.

As much as Talbot is reviled around here, this gets out of hand.

Morrow admitted that he wouldn't have a clue how to play forward. Talbot won't light the ice on fire, but at least he's a dependable, experienced vet who probably won't hurt the team. Pretty sure if there weren't so many injuries in Prov they would have called up someone else. But between Talbot and Morrow playing forward, I can't imagine many other coaches choosing Morrow.
