Lmao. “Go back to your cage” sounds like something a holier than thou Swim team bro would belt out in a shrill tone when some peasant upsets them

[Gee Wally]

I live in Toronto and my Bruins hat goes where I go.
Restaurants and all.

Same when I was living in Habs county.

Very admirable.
To each his own.

Me? I prefer not having to think about which end goes into the toilet first for 3 or 4 days.

"I'll take irony for 500, Alex."

"Okay. Irony for $500. This person criticizes peoples opinions with the term ""Hot Take"", yet continues to make the same tired unfunny joke for months on end."

"Who is -- @BruinsFanSince94?"

*Ding ding ding*

 

[CamMac]

I think I’d rather be in complete silence in my car than listen to 98.5 ignore the fact that the Bruins are in the playoffs and talk offseason football instead.

Yeah it’s awesome that with the Bruins and Celtics in the playoffs they’re talking about JJ Watt giving a commencement speech and Russell Wilson. Is there anyone in Boston that gives a shit about either of those topics?

 

[BruinDust]

Why is everyone arguing with each other over some play 2 games ago? On the day of the Bruins biggest game of the season thus far, your bad karma is going to jinx the Bruins.

Think positive thoughts about the whooping the Bruins are going to lay on the Maple Leafs tonight!

Personally, I thought your response was hilarious.

 

[ODAAT]

B`s play with focus, attention to details and wear down the Leafs tonight

Fingers and toes crossed as I`m an "On call" shift as I wind down my stint with the restaurant I`m currently with, hoping they won`t need me tonight

Can't let Savard down.

On a side note, I've played EASHL with Marc Savard a few times over the last few years. He's a funny guy.

Never had a problem with that.

This drives me insane. The morning show is more entertainment radio. But that mid day show with Zolak & Beetle is god awful. 95% of their content right now is Patriots, and it’s OFF SEASON! Bruins vs Leafs playoff battle not important

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Wait until you get into your 40s like GW. All downhill from there.

did he try to goon it up against you?

Good lord, how do I get rid of the garbagio at the bottom of the page after I post, it starts with "You Might Also Like" and goes on to list a bunch of threads I could follow? Thx

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Not sure of the excitement for the mojo return
What he has basically done since getting here is injury/illness

Have to agree has looked awful since coming back from the big hit,playoffs aren’t really the time to,try and get his game back.

 

[BTO]

Game plan is simple: if it's blue, hit it.

The Bruins have to be like the Predators from the movies with their infra-red vision (but in this case it would be infra-blue vision as it were - or I guess, technically, ultraviolet vision). Regardless, if it's blue, Hit it. (And especially Hit their D below their own goal line.)

same game plan as game 2, soft chips, gives the B`s forwards far more opportunity to jump on the Leafs D and then as you say, hit em and force them to cough the puck up and for the most part, they eliminated those stretch passes and didn`t allow the Leafs D to gain easy outs of their own zone

 

[hrdpuk]

Thanks Fenway

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Haha he plays virtual hockey the same way he played actual hockey. Unpredictable passes that nobody expected at first. He was always like a play or two ahead of everyone else.

"Gonzo, when I give you the puck going over the blue line , I wanted you to drop pass it back into my path, cut to the middle, I'll give it back, cut back outside, the Dman and backchecking forward will follow, then find me back cutting down the inside. It will be easy play "

I'd pretend I followed along and end making more bad plays.

I'd pay 100 grand to be able to go back to my 40s.
maybe more.

classic, I didn`t realize you played on the same team, thought you meant you went head to head, that`s awesome

Aww man sorry definitely thought you were in your 40s with that razor sharp wit and the unrelenting work ethic.

My mistake.


Anyway I have some warning points I'd like to talk about...

 

[Oates2Neely]

Unless he is hurt, there is no chance that Bergeron doesn’t come out tonight and swing this series back into Boston’s favor

Me too.

7 months left to go in my 40`s, yakking to a friend the other day whom I`ve been friends with since we were in our mid teens, said to me, "the way you were heading, never thought you`d see 30 let alone 50", so true, made plenty of changes in my life, 50 is just a number, never been more at peace with who I am or where I am in life.

Now, go B`s go
