Pre-Game Talk: ECF GAME 1 8:13 PM 5/9 - Hello Whalercanes, Welcome Back to Boston - NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5

[RustyBruins72]

Why? So we know what every players mothers maiden name is and what their first pee wee team was

I hate his delivery. It seriously sounds like he's sitting down in a comfy chair, smoking a cigar and having a glass of scotch. No emotion when things get crazy. AT ALL.

So Fenway, does that mean he will be there then?

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

I was really hoping we'd avoid Olczyk again

I actually have no issue with Milbury in the booth

He will work the WCF with Kenny Albert

 

[LouJersey]

In general, I try to take decent care of myself. I cook at home, exercise regularly, and try to get plenty of sleep. Then, the playoffs.

I eat like ****. I drink all the time. I don't sleep. I've gone from 5 or 6 workouts a week to 2 or 3. My eyes are puffy and my fuse is short. My bank account is sad.

Don't say I've never sacrificed for this team

I'm up six lbs, blow 12 bucks a day on lunch instead of making it in the am, sleep in, pass the gym on the way to work...

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Honestly, I'm getting a little sick of all the **** washing of this Carolina team. Oh really? ECF is going to be tough? Well I never.

 

[Demon Eyes]

Poll isn't biased at all either.

PREDICTIONS:

Pastrnak gains traction and ramps up his production this series.

The “jerks” stick to playing hockey.

Local fans come through and deliver big time playoff atmosphere in Carolina.

TP starts out scared, slips into questioning reality, discovers the meaning of life and ultimately survives the series with his mind in tact.

Something controversial happens with regards to a call getting reviewed. Fenway delivers the scoop from behind enemy lines.

Doubters will come out at some point and Ladyfan will stay loyal.

I’ll stay awake for every game.

Bruins take it in 7.

The only way I will want a Game 7 is if we are down 2-3

Game 7 in St Louis was fun because I didn’t care.

Agree with everything except for you staying awake for every game.

You get your money back. STH get charged for all possible games in a round (4 this one) and get a refund for any unused games.

Wait ... season tickets do NOT include the playoffs?
That's kinda odd.

Last round vs Columbus......particularly games 5 and 6......if you listen after every Bruins goal, there was silence for at least a few seconds (not talking about the crowd, just the announcing team). It was.......weird......and didn't happen after Columbus goals.

I don’t want it to go 7, but I feel like it will happen.

Canes are good.

Right now I feel like I could take on the whole Empire by myself.

Huh? They never do........in any sport. You keep the same seat, but always have to pay additional $ for them as they qualify for the next round.

Yeah, I didn't hear anything after Columbus scores in Game 6...

 

[Fenway]

A STH simply has the right to buy the same seat for every playoff game - always been that way

Tickets for the SCF in 1970 were so expensive $58 in 2019 dollars - same price all rounds

 

[Braunbaer]

Didn't know that. I was surprised, because you don't have to pay extra for the playoffs in Germany.

 

[jgatie]

Not only are they not included, they cost you more each round. My $57 each regular season tickets will cost over $200 each if they make the Finals.

 

[Ladyfan]

There is another factor at play - this is not political it is simply a fact

A lot of people who were expecting a tax refund were shocked that they had to pay this year.

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.

 

[Ladyfan]

STH get charged for games the B's will play only if you pick the payment plan"Pay as you go" For example as soon as they knew we would be in the playoffs they hit your credit card for 2 games....AS soon as they knew there would be a game 5 they hit your card.

For this round I have been charged for games one and two only so far

 

[Ladyfan]

Price goes up every round.

I give the Bruins some credit for this - My friend from Chicago had to pay the entire playoff strip upfront

 

[Ladyfan]

Price goes up every round.

round 1 $187
round 2 $281
round 3 $347
round 4 $468

I am broke. Good thing I love the B's. I guess work needed on my house will have to wait.

I too have watched Star Trek

 

[TP]

round 1 $187
round 2 $281
round 3 $347
round 4 $468

That is insane... even for your seat. Highway robbery.
