Baby, it ain’t over til it’s over.
Boston vs Everyone. And f*** everyone. It’s do or die, got to use the adversity and pull together. Siege mentality.

He's out tomorrow.
I can't believe NBC tried to spin that as a good clean shoulder check when he clearly got kneed.
Concentrate on ONE game. Thats it.
Game 6. We've been here before. We know how to do it. I have full faith in this team. Win this one and then we can talk about everything else.

Don’t know why Cassidy has to tell the opposition their line up problems ahead of the game?
I believe. What the f*** else could I do?
I don't like this one bit. Reminds me of the Habs series from early 2000s and the St Louis finals.
Bruins carrying play, and at times just totally dominating... all the while they are getting slashed, high sticked, cross checked, tripped, interfered with, etc, with no power plays... then on the flip side they are getting called for the most ridiculous borderline crap, and almost ALL of the goals in every Islanders win has been a result of a powerplay from an unfair call.
Game 3 was actually officiated a bit in the Bruins favor, and they got away with some stuff, but otherwise it has been completely slanted towards Islanders, with game 5 being by far the worst. I fear that this trend will continue.
I worry that the Bruins showed heart last night and gave it their all, and now are just going to be deflated because no matter how hard they try, they can't catch a break. Not good situation right now at all.

Honestly, can anyone give me any example of the Bruins getting the benefit of officiating in the playoffs?
I've been watching since like 1995 and cannot remember more than one playoff game where we were beneficiaries of multiple blown calls that affected the outcome, but every year for the last 5 years we've been screwed over, and then back before that to the Habs years.
The only one looking back where I think we got away with one was when Green slashed Kovalev in 2004, but really that's mostly on Kovalev for being a bitch.

I think I confused the two. It was Pastrnak who Pelech threw his knee out on, right? And NBC praised him for a clean shoulder check. Was it Pelech or Clusterf***? There were so many bullshit calls that game that they've all melted together in my mind.
2011 Marchand got away with a few things and ever since then Bruins haven't gotten the benefit the way the Islanders have this series.
Ride or die.
Can't be anything else. Gotta go in with that belief they will win. Period. There is nothing else!
Really thought 1 of miller or Carlo would be able to play tomm
We miss them so much
Gonna be tough to win tomm
but I still believe

Vancouver fans bitch and bitch about the Bruins and Colin Campbell but honestly the Canucks got more PPs than us that series anyway despite being just as dirty (the reason their defense kept getting injured is because they kept trying to throw dangerous hits). And they were screwing us hard in games 4-6 of the Tampa series IIRC before they finally got one right and called game 7 perfectly.
I don't think we got preferential treatment in 2011 at all. The refs just lost control altogether after the Rome cheapshot and the wild west style of it benefitted us solely because Vancouver proved to be mentally weak at the top. But guys like Bieksa and Kesler were being just as cheap as anything Marchand or Lucic did.
Bruins got away with some stuff in Game 3. But every other game has been slanted towards Islanders, especially last night.
McGarnagle
Yes.

I know playing things close to the vest with injuries is the way it is in the playoffs, but I'd feel better now if they just said that Carlo would be shut down for a few weeks and Miller won't be available until the ECF rather than floating it along like "maybe ready for game 3...oh, didn't make the trip, but maybe available game 5...not playing game 5, and now not available game 6 either." I don't know why, but I would have coped better if they just said "don't expect him back this series" from the get go.
Sucks how much everything this playoff run has turned on the absence of two defensemen who are game changing if healthy but can just never f***ing stay healthy. I'm mad at Carlo for not protecting his head. I know it's not his fault, but I kind of feel like it is.
Let's take it one day/game at a time.
Can the Bruins win the next game ? I say MAYBE. Let's get going !

It will be curious to see who the NHL sends to Uniondale for Game 6
Francis Charron, Gord Dwyer, Jean Hebert, Chris Lee, Wes McCauley, Dan O’Rourke, Brian Pochmara, Francois St. Laurent, Kelly Sutherland
Wes McCauley, Chris Lee, Kelly Sutherland and Brian Pochmara are working tonight so they are out.
My best guess is we will see Dwyer and O’Rourke who worked Isles/Bruins Game 2, handing out 18 PIMs and five power plays.
