I mean this is what you are going to get from a portion of the fan base and probably ownership. It was a "bridge" year and yada yada yada to down play the choke.I don’t care if they over achieved in the regular season. Being the first team in NHL history to choke away back to back 3-1 leads is unacceptable.
The last 3 min of Morning Bru said it all (laughing)"Jesus Christ, why are we doing this?!!"Morning Bru should be interesting. Raycroft is ripping them good about their lack of shots
Happy for you bud. Great year, having your home and kid is amazing. Bruins remains a product, an entertainment. At some point, it needs to stay at that level imo.I am 35 years old, currently moving into my first owned home, and having my first child this August. Not trying to be dramatic, just honest. I think, for the first time in my life, I’m taking a year off from the Bruins next year. It’s becoming extremely difficult to prioritize something that brings me so much tension and takes up an increasingly impactful amount of time.
I’m not faulting the team for that in any way. Regardless of what they do in terms of winning, the playoffs feel like running a goddamn marathon. Every other day.
I’m just curious, has anyone done this successfully? I know plenty of people have threatened to do it, but has anyone actually just done a single year off? I love this team and can’t imagine permanently eliminating a lifelong passion. Just curious if anyone has done time away, stuck to it, and then come back.
Both arenas should be nuked from orbit, "it's the only way to be sure."Goes into Endless OTs and the league gives up and eliminates them both.
Same. It's Stockholm Syndrome at its finestReally tempted to do something else Saturday night instead of watching more of the same shit show, but I just can't turn away from this trainwreck!
Congrats all around! I haven’t gone cold turkey, but a few years ago i stopped letting the bruins schedule dictate MY schedule. I’ll record games, but if i see something on accident, f*** it, there’s another game tomorrow. I watch when it’s convenient for me. A lot of times I’ll watch a Saturday night game 2-3 days later, and fast forward through much of it.I am 35 years old, currently moving into my first owned home, and having my first child this August.

Can we dress some of the cheerleaders for Saturday maybe.Man from president gm coach trainers cheerleaders and blade all could be out the door.
Back in the mid 80's, after yet another 1st round elimination to Montreal, I was so pissed that I convinced myself that I was done cheering for the Bruins, and that I was going to cheer for a team that could actually beat the Habs like the Nordiques or the Flyers.I am 35 years old, currently moving into my first owned home, and having my first child this August.

The Leafs have really been playing Florida’s style the last couple games and the Bruins haven’t been able to muster anything against them ,how could they possibly give Florida a tough time when Florida will do the same thing but be even better at it.I'm telling you all right now if we miraculously win game 7 were giving Florida a tough time.
He is no Kojak, Kojak would figure it out.It's a win win for me.Either win game 7 at home or lose 3 games on home ice & cya later Kojak.
Could have been a penalty on both of them ,If the Leafs had scored on that play I would be furious ,they didn’t they scored because McAvoy iced the puck and they once again lost another face off.That's still wrong because he should have arm up or blow whistle to call holding not allow a guy to drive him from behind its dangerous. That in no way protects players .He should have to answer for it in media, these guys to protected.
Where have you been,home ice hasn’t meant crap for the Bruins in awhileIt's our home turf our fans in building. No excuses now. Play to win. Enough stupidity.
Yeah and here’s the thing: they’re 3rd-line centres but guess what? They’re not playing against the McDavids or MacKinnons of the world, they played the last two games against, wait for it, 3rd-line centres, and were nowhere to be found. Coyle’s strong enough on the puck that he should be absolutely dominating the leafs’ D down low. Should be having monster games. But nope.Zacha and Coyle go unscathed yet again when they are a majority of the probelm
I was thinking the same, no way did that hurt Toronto the same players get a breather which defeats the purpose of the icing rule.Also, what was up with the f***ing free 3 minute timeout the refs gave to Toronto after their third icing in a row? Monty just stood there twiddling his thumbs
