I'm scared!

 

[Alicat]

Just like last game I asked my dad to pull another string.

This morning on my way to work Celine Dion came on (his favorite) so I know he heard me.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Seidenbergy]

From the article:

No one knows what it takes to get the Garden ready for a game than defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, whose father John has worked on the bull gang for decades.
So what does he expect for Game 7? WEEI.com asked him during the Bruins’ morning media availability:

“I don’t know, yeah. I guess we’ll see, I don’t know if the weather has anything to do with it or what’s going on at the Garden,” Grzelcyk said. “But yeah I guess it was pretty tough for Game 5.”


Sooooo, dad's worked there for decades......but he doesn't have a clue what the problem with the ice is.

That's encouraging.

 

[prizminferno]

It's in our blood.

 

[Ladyfan]

My stomach is in knots....My blood pressure is rising. I guess it is game 7 ...again.

I can't wait to head in to Boston. It will be a LONG afternoon.

A nice B's win with no injuries to either team please.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

[member 96824]

The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs won a single playoff series, the city of Boston had 2 championships to their name after the turn of the century.

They now have 12.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Refs notoriously swallow their whistles in Game 7s so let's get back to our 5-on-5 roots.

We could do a lot worse than McCauley. Lets hope they let em play. The refs I'm sure heard from both coaches so will be watching for the bullshit. Call whats necessary otherwise let em play. FINISH THEM!

Another amazing GDT!

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Lets win this goddamn thing.

 

[Mathews28]

Kind of true, but cautious aggressiveness is the key.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

I have said it every game this series ... “ how the hell did I make it through the 2011 Finals”. This is brutal

 

[prizminferno]

Refs call game 7 exactly like every other game, that narrative is of long ago days.

 

[Seidenbergy]

I'm sure he knows , sounds like he doesn't want throw anyone that he works with under the bus to me.

That's worse IMO, given that it's been an issue for years now. I'd rather them not know at all than to know, but let the same thing happen every year.

That's encouraging.

What exactly is the poor kid supposed to say? Even if he's in agreement with Marchand, it's still his father's job.

 

[Seidenbergy]

What exactly is the poor kid supposed to say? Even if he's in agreement with Marchand, it's still his father's job.

Ummmm, he had about 437 different potential responses there. "I don't know what's going on at the Garden" wouldn't be my preferred choice.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I'd like to see Backes in there for Kuhlman, who was on for both Leaf goals against and didn't get the puck out on the first one.

 

[Fenway]

Our setup was done by Noon so to kill time I took the subway to
