Love this- adorable picture. I love the wishing well! Don't see those anymore. Doggie is beautiful. Love the Bruins flag!

Thanks. The well is functional - original to the house. (Pup says thanks too)

All the labels I’m working on today are in Finnish. I think that’s a good sign. Go Tuukka!

 

[sooshii]

What about opening night, to celebrate the Stanley Cup banner raising? I never had the chance to do it last time, but I want to make the 800 mile drive to see my first Bruins home game ever - and to have that game be a banner-raising night!

[Jamestown]

That is me. My Federal refund usually pays for a round or two. This year for the first time in my life I had to pay almost 2000.

Walls are not cheap.

 

[whatsbruin]

Yeah, that's true....example Ovi on Carlo.

Still, hit Dougie as often as possible.

Or Chara on Nash

 

[Emerz]

I like the odds for the Bergy line against Mrazek, I think they're going to really pop off this series.

 

[ODAAT]

Tee off at 3 pm, game time here at 4 pm, will be leaving phone at home and watch when I get in, B`s come out flying, Canes not able to shake the rust off from being away from game mode for a few days 5-2 good guys

It's not showing up for me :-(

It's not here yet... @Fenway needs to put some magical spells on it first.

 

[BruinDust]

I never realized this until John Shannon on Sportsnet pointed out this is really the "Boston series" as both the Bruins and the original incarnation of the Hurricanes, the New England Whalers, both played in Boston and in the Garden in the Whaler's inaugural season.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Or Chara on Nash

Monster hit indeed.

 

[Jamestown]

They actually do give us a pretty good discount

Statistically using 32 teams
50% chance of making playoffs
25% chance of advancing to round 2

12.5 % chance of advancing to round 3

In a statistical sense the Bruins would make round 3 once every 8 years

The odds of making the finals are 6.5 % and should come around every 16 years

It’s a very unusual and special time to do it and may never come again

Live life and if you can do it like Ladyfan do it

***Disclaimer***
Stats do not apply to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

[ODAAT]

Monster hit indeed.

Nash wasn`t close to being the same after that hit

Texted my mom this morning to see what she wanted to do for Mother’s Day now that the schedule is out.

For the record, the wah wah wah text was about the fan reaction to something in Game 6

When people ask me why I am the way I am, I ask them if they’ve met my mother.

Your mom sounds awesome "The Bruins are more important"

[GloryDaze4877]

Because Dougie is "that guy"

I hope Pasta lays him out tonight, then takes the puck, walks in and scores.

for that to happen Dougie would have to be willing to stand in there and take the hit

 

[LouJersey]

Other than ducking Ovechkin hits all series Dougie has been a stud this post season. Hoping they give him the Riley Nash treatment

yep, played well for sure, til now

 

[TSBruins13]

Hamilton is going to get abused. I am going to love every second of it.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

 

[Bruin]

I see that Dan O'Rourke and Marc Joannette are tonight's officials, good or bad?

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

McElhinney confirmed yet?

 

[Chief Nine]

Man that video is awesome!

 

[Mathews28]

Nothing better than Mom's who get the whole Bruin's hockey thing!

My Mom passed back in '02, well before the 2011 cup win...BUT I fondly recall trips from CT up the the old Garden and how much my Mom enjoyed the entire scene, the pre-game burger, a beer or two, the raucous fans who shook that building.

B's were always a priority.

 

[kthx]

If we win this game it's a 4-1 series. If we dont win tonight it's 4-2 Bruins. McAvoy is such a big difference maker.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I misunderstood the definition of "delivered"
