Good. You're opponent should be miserable and uncomfortable.

Hopefully Red's ghost opens a few windows and leaves them only damp towels

 

[Alicat]

Glad to know they have kept Red's tradition alive in the new place

 

[DKH]

Love it

 

[sarge88]

Good....now turn that hot water off and catch Washington next year!

 

[Gee Wally]

Good.

f*** 'em.

Maybe a rat or 2 as well and I don't mean Marchand

Pull another Red stunt, run the industrial vacuums in the stands during the visitor's morning skate.

I voted Mt. St. Charles.....

 

[danpantz]

I thought they just re-did them too? Or is that next offseason?

Maybe we should push those renovations back another decade or two.

 

[member 96824]

Sounds like it’s about 15 degrees too warm

 

[sooshii]

Huh. What a shame.

 

[BostonBob]

Red Auerbach would approve.

Somewhat related, but weren't the visitors supposed to enter and exit from the corner opposite the Olympia doors? I assume that they were going to revamp the locker room, but time got in the way. It's a logical decision from a seating standpoint, because you're trading corner seats for center ice seats - but it's a damn cruddy decision from a "fair play" standpoint.

Drab, nasty visiting locker rooms are fine. Par for the course, and it's only a small psychological needle, not an actual change in the rules. Forcing visiting teams ONLY to wait until stoppage in play to go to and from the locker room, while the home team can come and go during play? That's literally unfair, IMO. I'm pretty sure the Habs do it, and I'd hate it if we do it.

The amount of things that they “didn’t get around to” in the Garden renovations this summer is hilarious. This one I actually don’t mind.

Fantastic news!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

It's all about spin. You can also say that the Bruins visitor's locker room is the best place in the league to sit and chill.

 

[Fenian24]

Well if the fans have to suffer with midget seats the visiting team can suffer right along with us.

 

[BMC]

Too damn bad.

 

[mjhfb]

They should try the old Soviet trick and oil paint the visitors room before big games so the smell makes the players queasy.

 

[ODAAT]

good stuff, better than hearing that the B`s have laid out a beautiful buffet of the finest cured meats, a dozen jacuzzi tubs and heated seats for their opponents to enjoy prior to and in between periods

 

[Spooner st]

Marchand is our rat. He is precious.

Not sure if much has changed, but during the Sports Museum tour you see the visitor locker room and when I saw it a handful of years ago, I wasn't too impressed either.
