It's finally here!

 

[sooshii]

Beauty GDT, Ali!

Here we go, s, here we go!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Octopi cacciatore over noodles with a side of marinara tomorrow. Maybe even Octopi sashimi style with wasabi to get the sinuses cleared up.

Thanks for the pre game meal idea SeidenMoose.

Great GDT Ali!

 

[talkinaway]

Nice GDT! And excellent title - it's not the dang divisional semis! Should be a good series - I say Boston in 6, and I'm just hoping we don't get another Jack Edwards game 7 stabbing moment....I'd rather not procrastinate, and just advance ASAP.


And now, let us pray.

Orr Father, who art in Boston
Four be thy number
Thine Cup will come
Thy goals be done
In Joe Louis as it is in the Garden

Give us this day our daily power play
And forgive us our icing
As we forgive those who ice against us
And lead us not into the penalty box
But deliver us from Caron

AMEN!

Go B's!

and my own personal Bruins' playoff song

 

[TMac21]

Let's go Bruins! Play our game and blow them out of the rink!

 

[CptxMorgan]

Applesauce, *****.

 

[Scotto74]

not happy Kelly and Pie will probably not play....not happy at all.

 

[CamFan81]

because he looks like that guy

 

[bigbadbruins7]

Let's finally get this thing going. GO B's!!

 

[TMac21]

not happy Kelly and Pie will probably not play....not happy at all.

Me either, but Florek just needs to bring that crash and bang mentality to the Swede line and let them do the rest.

Top 2 lines need to do their thing and we are golden.

 

[Hali33]

Really hope all our guys are ready to go. It's not really looking that way but fingers crossed. 3rd line just isn't as effective without Kelly and our PK is gonna be a big vulnerability without Paille and Kelly.
Bruins have to come out of the gate storming and force their game on them. Play strong and disciplined and get right in front of Howard. If they do that, they'll be fine.

 

[WickedBruinsGirl]

Go Bruins!!!

 

[Minny Shinny]

Awwwww yeaaaaaa

Let's do it.

Solid, Ace

 

[mislysBB]

I'm so pumped for this!!

 

[trenton1]

They really need Kelly. I think he might draw in.

 

[Paddington]

OMG a GDT!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

not happy Kelly and Pie will probably not play....not happy at all.

Yes,the bottom 6 is significantly weaker,the 4th line now looks like a 4th line without Paille on it.Soderberg and Loui should still be able to do reasonably well without Kelly but the big boys are going to have to get it done.

 

[patty59]

just win

 

[eightspokedb]

Anybody know who the officials will be tomorrow?

 

[acr*]

After the 80s suede jacket, the chain, and the army jacket, what will this year's game ball equivalent be (or did that tradition die with Ference)?

I'm guessing it'll be some kind of hat.
