And Krejci

Happy for Pasta, and for some reason the Bruins do really well when starting the season outside of North America. It might mean we get a slow start in the standings in October, but I can definitely see why they picked the Bruins if they're going to Prague.

 

[Bruinaura]

Maybe I'll get decent local coverage too!

Forget local coverage, you need to bring cookies to Prague!

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Seemed to work well last time, why not do it again

 

[Braunbaer]

And they will play a game in Mannheim.
Yay, I finally get to see the Bruins.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Bruinaura]

Who is considered the home team? It might mean the Bruins don't come to Nashville that year

Woooo!!!!

All the more reason to go

 

[Braunbaer]

Won't they play both games like they did against the Coyotes in 2010 or don't they do that anymore?

 

[talkinaway]

I'd assume that they're playing two games, so it may mean you have to send the cookies (along with yourself) via UPS to Prague.

But then again, the Hawks only played one game against the Flyers this year. From an economic standpoint, it almost makes sense for the Bruins to lose a home game. Yes, Boston's a big market, but eliminating their only stop in Nashville seems inadvisable, since I imagine they're a draw. Conversely if I had to pick a team that wouldn't come to Boston, NOT paying attention to the quality of the actual team but paying attention to geography/rivalry/local interest/etc., Nashville would be close to the top.

 

[GabeTravels]

Excellent. Flight benefits are nice... I'll definitely try and fly out for this.

 

[DKH]

I went last time ~ A+

Phenomenal beer
Lots of statues
Gorgeous woman

 

[BruinNL]

Amped for this as the B's will also win at and against the 'local' team I despise most.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

NESN gonna go on the cheap again and make Jack and Brick call the game from a broom closet in NESN headquarters, watching it on a PC monitor like last time?

John and Pierre are not in Stockholm - NHL is paying the bills for these games

 

[Estlin]

And Krejci.

But will Krejci be with Boston next season?

 

[Alicat]

But will Krejci be with Boston next season?

I'm giving you maximum side eye right now.

He will be in Boston next year.

 

[Terrier]

I've heard great things about the last trip and about Prague in general, but Coach Butch probably rolled his eyes a little at the thought of another globetrotting trip to start the season(this time for real).

 

[Bmessy]

Wife and I were planning to go to Prague this spring. Hope she's fine with late September
