Just take a nap this afternoon

I'm at work and while I can steal a few minutes to post here I can't take a nap!

 

[Ron Quixote]

I'm not a fan of Edwards or Emerick but I haven't seen a Bruins game in 2 weeks. I'll be fine with ANY broadcast at this point.

Go B's!

 

[Ron Quixote]

Why are you calling these players castoffs of Claude?

I don't get it either. * shrug*

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Blues lineup looks horrible.
Hopefully Allen isnt in the zone

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Time to clinch a playoff spot let's go

 

[Bergyesque]

But Doc did say this

Honestly, every time I hear "and the Boston Bruins have won the Stanley Cup", my eyes are kind of becoming something like a little wet...
Crazy isn't it? Love that team, I'm telling you.

I don't get it either. Seguin got essentially line 1A duty from his sophomore year on, until he earned his way off. Reilly Smith was put way over his skill level on the the same line as Seguin. Hamilton played 1st pair minutes. Sobotka, meh. I'll give that one. Morrow, Miller were here until Cassidy came, and Miller was behind established D and still got ice. Morrow just got let go by the Habs, whose defense was an actual dumpster fire (as in the Habs fans took off their jerseys, lit them on fire, and threw them in a dumpster!),

I don't think they can tonight?

I think their magic number on Monday was 6, and since then they got 1 pt against CBJ, and FLA has won their two games

I think their magic number is at 5 now

One point gets them in.

I stand corrected

Math was never my strong suit

I thought the same thing, but the team in question is now the Devils, not the Panthers. Panthers can get a total of 103 points, Devils can only get to 100. Both the Panthers and the Devils need to finish higher than the Bruins for Boston to miss.

Devils can't catch the B's with 1 point earned tonight

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Huh, I also did not know this was a potential clincher. Get it done boys!

Potential Bruins clincher and potential Toilet Seats make golfing plans, all in one night! It's a Bruins Miracle!

Here's the ultimate question - if the game goes into OT, will my phone beep with my credit card charged for 2 playoff games: A) After regulation, B) After the game ends, C) Tomorrow morning

(Actually, technically, they can't charge me at point A. Bonus point if you know why, and it has to do with hockey rules!)

That's one of my favorite obscure sports rules

If you pull the goalie in OT (other than a delayed penalty), and the other team scores, you don't get the loser point.

i much prefer watching the CBC broadcast of game 7. You get to hear Jim Hughson's heart breaking as it becomes clear how the game is going to go. And you miss Olyczk's "distinct punching motion" bull

man Olczyk was unbearable during that series. I've never heard a national broadcast color guy so poorly hid his disdain for a team. He kept trying to rationalize how the obviously inferior Bruins were beating the obviously superior Canucks ("IF THE SHOOTER JUST HOLDS ON TO THE PUCK A LITTLE LONGER AND GOES AROUND THOMAS THERE IT'S AN EASY GOAL") and it just made him come off as so bitter & clueless.

The points are not official until the scoresheet is signed by both referees and then faxed to Toronto.

It's weird that he loved the Canucks so much considering he's a Blackhawks guy.

Good point, but wasn't thinking of that....

Yup, that's the one. No celebration until the game ends and we actually get that OT point!

"Right THERE!"

I watched that replay 6 times, and I never saw the "THERE" he was babbling about.

 

[smithformeragent]

I could fall asleep right now.

It’s not looking promising.

Forgot about that
