Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 EDSF - BRUINS at Washington - NBC, CBC, SN4K, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[The National]

I love how @Sheppy unintentionally redirected this thread to everyone talking about their significant others lol.

 

[JOKER 192]

My ex-wife of 9 years HATED the Bruins and hated when I would play late beer league games. That's one of the reasons she's my EX-wife.
My present wife of 25 years is like me and we very very rarely miss a live game on tv, we chaperone games for her school during the season. She and I were in Europe in 2019 and watched game 6 (IIRC) of the SC final in the Grand Hotel in Portugal. It was 4 hours later there and we watched all of the OT play culminating with a loss. The next morning we had to be with our tour at 8 am for breakfast and then flew via commuter prop play to another island. We suffered big time! So many other New Englanders on the tour knew that I had watched the game *(Portuguese announcers). All that day people were coming up to us and asked about the game, who scored, what happened etc.
There was a cardiologist in the group who must've thought that I was crazy to stay up until 4ish in the morning to watch it. HE had the most questions though about the outcome. LOL
*No, I don't understand Portuguese so my wife translated.

We are truly brothers from another mother. I can communicate in 4 languages (French, Italian, English , Spanish ) , Portuguese is the one I'm working on at the moment, understand when others talk , struggle to express myself .

If they win we talk about our spouses good qualities, if they loose well were all sleeping outside or divorced.

I need to go and buy wine for tomorrow.

 

[Gordoff]

Is Washington still playing coy about their starting goalie?

Ya, like it matters....

Us men, we are simple creatures. It provided a nice distraction from the pending anxiety attack I’ll wake up to tomorrow morning, knowing i have to wait another 12 hours for hockey

My wife is from Arkansas. Her first hockey game she ever watched - live or on TV - was when tickets dropped into my lap for Game 7 against the Canadiens in 2011. She was 8 months pregnant. She’s been a die hard hockey fan ever since.

We watch every game as a family in my house - 6 year old goes to bed after the first period, 9 year old after the second (listens to the third on the radio). Oldest plays squirts, wife is on the board of our hockey program. We had a 32’x64’ backyard rink this year. And I finally learned to ice skate this year.

Hockey grabs you like no other sport - regardless of age or anything. Hockey was never my first sport until 2011. Now it’s first, second, third, fourth, fifth...

Marriage made in hockey Heaven. God Bless you both for bringing more Bruins fans into the world!

If they win we talk about our spouses good qualities, if they loose well were all sleeping outside or divorced.

There's something special about having a spouse who loves the Bruins. We usually try to scoop the other on trades etc. For instance after the huge TDL that the B's had we spent all kinds of time talking hockey. She gets alerts on her phone re the Bruins but I would be too distracted and wouldn't be able to get back on track if I'm working. I found out about the Hall trade Sunday night (TDL eve) but didn't want to wake her up incase it became another Iginla (2013) fiasco and didn't wanna jinx it, lol.

It's a thinner line than most of us know

All you Bruins fans cheering for the Habs , shame on you. I get the hate for the Leafs but you just can't cheer for the Habs. It's just not allowed. Take the none of the above option.

What’s there to hate about them though? They aren’t a good team at all so I can’t really take them seriously. I’ve lost a little bit of the hate for them over the past few years because of their mediocrity.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Caps area bunch of head hunters if the Bruins get past them I hope they don’t lose any key players ,,well any players really.

Lol I hear ya, I chose golf as my distraction for tomorrow, should do the trick.

 

[Maine Fan]

I hope the Bruins go deep. I don't see a reason for them not to be able to do so. The goalies are solid. The D is perfect and healthy. The offense is better than it has been in some time.

In this first round with Washington, they should win. It will be a punishing round hopefully without injuries, that is most important going into the second round.

Go Bruind

This is going to be fun. Fans, we are in for a great ride.

 

[VanIsle]

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.

i hope blidh gets some minutes, and hit everything that moves.

Said no one lol

 

[lopey]

Going fishing!!! Hopefully it’s a good day on the water and on the ice. I’ll be ready for puck drop!!!

 

[PepeBostones]

Feeling very confident going in to the play offs. Not fearing the Caps at all.
Ovi is getting old, he looks tired and frustrated most of the time. Caps goaltending is a mess and their defense is made out of pylons.
But it's playoff hockey and the edge turns are sharp.
One small puck bounce can turn everything upside down.
It's the best team the Bruins have had since, well since 2011 I would say.
But the game is won out there on the ice.
The Bruins need to want to win and the cost is pounding and hurting.
We're the Boston Bruins and this time we're gonna show it.

No Edzo? Who will recap the Preakness for us?

Well I guess those that live in Montreal may see it from a different perspective.

Habs fans, because of their history, are the most arrogant f***ers on the planet. You constantly have to listen them boast about their 24 Stanley Cups even though often, the person doing the boasting wasn't even alive the last time they won.

 

[bruinsfan1970]

I hope the Bruins are ready and come out shooting and scoring and none of that allowing the Caps to stay in the offensive zone to long. Let's Go Bruins, get the all important first win and go from there.

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope the Bs play a full 60 minutes .

How many games before Wilson does something stupid and gets himself suspended ? The stripes had better call him for the stuff he does or this will get out of control.

 

[Ladyfan]

This will be a LONG day

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Nervously waiting
At last the fighting day dawns
Bruins set to pounce
