I'm terrified

 

[kthx]

Halak has 100% winrate in next game when he is pulled in previous one.
There's been only one game like that all season but hey 100% winrate.

Looking for a bounceback 4-1/3-1 victory. I believe. GO.

EDIT: MY STATS ARE WRONG WHO CARES WE WIN

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY

 

[sooshii]

One question- Maria in Watertown - WHY?

 

[aguineapig]

I say a Prayer for Wally and his family as they go through such a difficult time. I say a Prayer for the folks in Texas and Louisiana who remain in the wake of such devastation. And way down the list on importance, I pray our team shows up today and leaves it all on the ice, the score be what it will.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

I hope to see Frederic and Stud in and not Bjork or Kuhlman. Team needs to make life harder on Vas in net, the way the Bolts do to our goalies.

Defense protect the net better, stop tipping in goals on us. Bolts dee are terrifying our forwards.

Gotta get some secondary scoring, Krech line needs to show up, or shake it up. Get Stud on that line. Kase and Jake are not getting it done.

I am pulling out my knitted sweater from 1972. My Dad designed it and my Mom knitted it. It is a treasure and we need some magic! GO BRUINS!!!!
