Bruins garden flag flying on my front lawn now, it's official, the Stanley Cup playoffs are here !!

Im an islanders fan but I find it absolutely impossible to root for the Caps in any series against any team. Outside of Ovi I don't respect any of the players and the organization in general is the trailer trash of the NHL in my opinion. Wish you guys luck in this series and hopefully we'll see you next round

Have to arrange a golf game for a group of people next Sunday and game time has not been set as it's game 5...any guesses when the game will be?

Wanna golf but dont want to miss game either

Had to put Bobble Head Zee in the corner. He’ll be back in his box before puck drop!

Is that....Ron Swanson with a Bruins jersey on??

Honestly more Leaf fans come to games in Boston than any other fan base. I (in 19 years) have yet to meet a Toronto fan I didn't like.

I want the B's to win BUT if Boston was out and Toronto won I would be happy for their fans.

I would be happy for some fans...not all of them. If they win, which I highly doubt (God help us all). They will be insufferable.

The GDT has been sent to @Fenway

4-2 Bruins. Marchand (2), Hall, Ritchie with the goals.

Bruins in 5.

Let’s gooooo!

I wore my very ratty bright orange/yellow Bruins shirt from 2008 to walk this morning and heard a guy tell his wife that the playoffs started tonight

 

[TSBruins13]

My series prediction is that Ritchie is an absolute monster. Tonight we see the birth of Playoff Ritchie.

 

[Alicat]

I'm calling a Kuraly goal tonight.

It is time for Playoff Kuraleaps

 

[b in vancouver]

Yup. Full strength at just the right time and super deep.

Caps are a great team and it'll be a close series but full confidence in this group.

It really is extremely good. Won't last forever so need to appreciate how much talent there is on this roster. I don't think we're collectively appreciating it enough.
They might lose in the first round but this team is stacked. It's on them.

Playoff Trivia:

In the regular season, this player has 24 goals in 270 games

In the playoffs, this player has 9 goals in 46 games.

Who is the player?

 

[Geordie Bruin]

Is that....Ron Swanson with a Bruins jersey on??

It certainly is! Bruins bottle cooler made a perfect jersey for his bobble head.

 

[rfournier103]

Hab fan here and I'm rooting for a Bruins win. Boy I must be getting senile with age.

Good luck B's!

I detest the Canadiens, and could never root for them, but have always been shown respect in personal encounters with their fans.

there’s a quote from ‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’ that sums up my relationship with Montreal fans...

LT. COL. Podovsky to John Rambo:
“...to me you are a comrade, similar to myself, just opposed by an act of fate.”

Wednesday, my wife & I received our first vaccine. I wore my Bruins jacket & Celtics face mask. The jacket prompted a few comments from the security staff who were Leafs & Habs fans. It was fun bantering, all good actually...lol

 

[Serpico]

I want to see the third line running the D and cycling.

Love it!

 

[Maine Fan]

I grew up with a great friend who is also a Bruins fan on Vancouver Island.
A million miles away.
We always watch the games together and this year is no different.
Can't wait until tomorrow, it begins.

Beautiful place Vancouver Island

 

[czechmate]

Let's steamroll the Caps tonight! Staying up very late here in Europe, so make it count Bruins

Wish you all a great hockey game, my friends!

In the run of less than 24 hours I a) Got swabbed Tuesday evening...tested negative (yay), b) next morning unknowingly worked while a positive case shopped at my store (Costco), and c) got my first shot of Pfizer after work. I now need to go to work tomorrow morning, and then get tested again.

I wish I could say the same. In the game Kadri concussed DeBrusk, the Laffs fan sitting next to me was on his tenth or eleventh beer. After the hit, I said to my brother "That's an obvious charging. He butted in and tried to argue it was boarding, slurring at me "Which is worse, dude? Which is worse?" (as if both can't be a major). I finally told him to shut up, drink his beer, and watch his team lose. His girlfriend was mortified.

Otherwise, Leafs fans have always been cool, especially when their team sucked.

I remembered years ago when their team was really bad 4 Leaf fans were at the Garden (sitting near @DKH ) . They had their Leaf jerseys on and wore bags over their heads for the whole game

I want the Bs to win it all but if we don't the NYI would my pick in the East

98.5 is rooting for Tuukka to get injured so Swayman plays

I went to Hannaford's in Londonderry this morning to grocery shop and had my Bruin's mask on. Several people said "good Luck tonight".
