Pre-Game Talk: ECF GAME 2 - 3:14 PM 5/12 - THE BEAR prepares for another coastal storm and Chris Rooney

[talkinaway]

Where'd they fly too? Haven't they been 'home'?

From the chatter in this thread, it doesn't seem that's the actual charter the Bruins use:

Jetblue Boston Bruins plane

My guess is it's a JetBlue promotional plane, and they just repainted the plane they use from Logan to Raleigh. I could be wrong.

I had a 1 in 6 shot at being on that plane....got my question picked for a silly JetBlue Twitter contest, where the prize is two JetBlue tickets.

Unless they've changed it as of this weekend, the Bruins charter is "SwiftAir". Pretty sure it's customized with extra large seats because they only have to carry 40 or so people, max. You can track it here:

Swift Air (WQ) #2174 ✈ FlightAware

That's the round 2 victory flight home - the flight out Monday afternoon (I assume they'll stay home tomorrow) will probably be SWQ2175. It's a Boeing 737 twin jet.

I was dreading telling my Wife that game 2 was Sunday afternoon. I felt terrible! She puts up with my unhealthy hockey addiction all year long, I was hoping Mother’s Day would be free.



We were texting on Friday about that night’s plans, and she said “Let’s go out to dinner tonight for Mother’s Day, so you can be in the basement Sunday for Game 2.”

I don’t deserve her. Go Bruins. WE GOT THIS.

My wife would never miss a game no matter the situation. I love it because its usually her idea to sneak away from family get togethers or birthdays or even cancel plans so we can watch Bruins games. I'm a lucky man for sure.. Having a game on mothers day is a bonus for her.. She wasn't even a hockey fan let alone a Bruins fan when I met her. I included her in everything Bruin related and it wasnt long til she was completely hooked.

i never really vote on the games but i noticed a couple posters always pick the Bruins to lose. any reason for that??

Yea, I do it as a reverse jinx. It's been working so far.

Mothers day game just is bad no way will i be able to watch this thanks NHL

 

[Mantis]

There are far worse things in this life than that!

You know the proper usages of “there,” “they’re,” and “their.” You have more than a leg up on 85% of the posters in “The Lounge” sub-forum.

All the good Loungers started a Discord so we could chat without being moderated. There is only like 4 or 5 people that actually still post in the lounge these days.

Good job on recruiting a good (and loyal) Bruins fan

She sounds like a keeper

 

[kthx]

I dont feel like Carolina can compete at all when we have Rask. Just my thoughts. Bruins 4-1 tonight.

ALSO, finally a game that is @ 10 PM. Hate to wake up 3AM to watch the games.

 

[Aeroforce]

The Bruins are up 1-0 in the ECF despite not always playing a 'Full 60 minutes' and perhaps not even peaking yet. Yes, Rask is a big reason why.

I believe they still have another level in them, and I'm hoping they seize the opportunity (and the series) in Game 2.

 

[BAD BOY]

Another HUGE game coming up! McAvoy coming back will give Carolina another matchup problem. I wish the game was at night. But whatever, NBC wants an afternoon game. Just roll with it. Ok here it goes.. break on two! Go BRUINS !!

Maybe that's because none of our opponents haven't played a full 60 minutes either.
Noone does.

My wife was also not a hockey fan when I met her. We actually met in a Patriots fan club, so she was a sports fan to begin with and NOT a pink hat. She even scheduled our wedding during the bye week the year we got married! She knew all the rules of football and understood the strategy, so hockey was an easy transition for her.

Almost six years of marriage later, she’s wearing her Brad Marchand Winter Classic sweater and swearing at the refs for blown calls.

One of the things I love about sports is how it can bring people together.

Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there.

I believe they have another level too. I hope we see it today.

Carolina beat the Caps...Please do not take them lightly.

It's a question. Who wins game 2?

It's also a superstition thing.

 

[smithformeragent]

Hoping I can make it through this one without nodding off.

 

[Fenway]

I'm a sponsor and still can't get rid of Rooney

But seriously, I've noticed some issues with this site lately as stated above and I'm a sponsor.

Does it seem better now?

Now that you mention it, it does seem better the last couple of days
