Playoffs too?Hope there are lots
Yep. I hope if they go to the finals ( I know a long shot) that they don't play 7 games in each round. Too expensive. I didn't consider the B's going to the playoffs this season until about Dec so I haven't put enough $$ aside. Oh well....credit card will take a hit

Now there was a joke for years that Liz Dufresne was murdered by her husband at their seaside vacation home in Maine. The husband was sentenced to life in prison but somehow escaped and was never found.

It was confirmed by the Bruins last year that Stephen King chose the name Dufresne as he remembered the trophy from listening to Bruins games on radio.

As if I needed another reason to love Stephen King! Interesting as always, Fenway. :thumbu:

Well here’s hoping you have to really rack up that credit card.:thumbu:

I'll have to add this to my collection of Hags Face - I've already got Hags/Vesey, Hags/Beleskey, and Hags/Pasta. All three of the players have that same "who the %&*(#$&%(*&$ is this guy?" look on their face that Marchy has.



If that's the Dufresne trophy (and 99% it is, since it's presented by the Boston chapter of the PHWA, and you-know-who is the head of that), then the pic is either from last year or 2011-12, and they made the playoffs both times - although both times it was one-and-done.

But you're spot on in remembering the awkward shirt-off-our-backs of 2015-6.



The Senators had just beat the Bruins 6-1...and if you're wondering what AHL goalie Jeremy Smith was doing there, he had to speed up 95 from Providence, because that was the game that some people seem to think Rask should have played in despite a last-minute illness. (Seriously, did they want him to paint the crease brown?) They had to wait to see if the Flyers would eliminate them...and they did, for the second year in a row.

Compare to 2013-4, the Presidents Trophy year:


The guy from 2016 pissed everyone I was with off. One of us would have gladly taken his spot. I felt so bad for Liles and Ferraro.

Elizabeth Dufresne was a young woman who went to all the games in the late 20's and 30's. She became ill and died and her friends endowed the trophy bearing her name.

Those are my favourite kind of trophies. Same reason why I still like the Lady Byng.

Watching NHL Network, Tampa up 3- 2 over Sabres after 1 period. Don't see Buff having any chance of winning this but I hope I'm wrong.

Now 4-2 Tampa.
Well unless we see a miracle- not sure the Rick Nash trade was a good move. Might play a few playoff games and poof gone.

I'm very non-discriminating in terms of Bruins autograph knick-knacks, especially if it has a story - heck, I love my Beleskey cap because it reminds me of the solar eclipse and my stupidly mistaking Sweetgreen for Starbucks (oops!). I can't imagine not giving a sympathetic smile and pat on the back to a player in a situation like that...hell, even if it was Rinaldo, I'd be grateful (sorry Ladyfan). And heck, if you're observant, you can guess who you're gonna get once they line you up: numerical order, except that the captain comes last. Hide the disappointment, just like your momma taught you when you got a scarf from Grandma for Christmas.

The game tomorrow looks like it might matter, if the Sabres can keep it up...oh, wait. That's a big if...

I'll be with LF for all the home games--playoffs included...getting my playoff-only cowbell ready..been bringing it to Bruins playoff games since 1970's. It stays in a drawer, wrapped in a playoff towel, until the playoffs start:towel:
Here we go :bruinsHere we go:clap::clap:

I wonder if maybe by the 3rd period coach will know he can start resting guys. I want to win the division, but second to that I'd love a meaningless game 82.

Yes that was embarrassing. I wonder if he ever realized how he looked!?!

If you get a shirt off the back please don't make a face . The players can't help who gets their shirt. I got Nokie's years ago (would have loved the Muzz jersey). I washed it and wore it to the next game. Nokie noticed and gave me a smile and a nod.

After Sheriff Shane Hnidy left the B's (the first time) one of the guys who work behind the bench gave me his helmet. When the B's brought him back in 2011 I told him I had his helmet. He said that's Ok he would get another.

I know I am a homer but I find the B's players to be a good bunch.

My daughter puts her 16-1 record on the line today (Edmonton of all teams) while I put my 19-0 record to make it 20-0. I never remembered seeing a loss this year and she keeps ticket stubs and game programs and lo and behold 19-0. I had 25 games and 3 of 5 gave to friends they lost lol

I'm going 20-0 and Carolina beating Tampa

Tomorrow will be fascinating to see how Boston plays it with Florida eliminated and the number 1 seed at stake

If the Bruins have a chance to play for the top seed you go for it. I'm pretty sure you
remember Gm 7 2011 Semi-final against TB. #HOMEICE
