They score and even strength goal in the first 5 minutes !

Philly doesn't play nearly as structured of a game as the Isles or Devils. Hopefully we can get a 5on5 goal.

Once they get their hands on a real, solid, Made In Slovakia puck and not a defective hollow tracking puck, then things will be different!

I believe they will be honoring my B's friend Steve before the game .

I hope they win for you my friend. I know you will be watching.

I got a good feeling that we get our first 5v5 goal in this game. PHI's per 60's at 5v5 so far this season among the league

SA/60 - 2nd most
xGA/60 - 9th highest
SCA/60 - 10th most
HDCA/60 - 6th most

Hart has also been pretty average to start the season, so hopefully we can take advantage of that before he gets form. My top 3 choice to get the 1st 5v5 goal for Boston...

1. Craig Smith
2. David Krejci
3. Nick Ritchie

I met Steve probably 15 years ago . I had come to the Garden for a game and was early , We started talking outside of the gate. Most know where I sit (next to the bench) but Steve had seats since the old Garden in the last row of the balcony over the goal where the B's shoot twice. He loved big Z. We ended up meeting up before every game. Another poster here met us as well (@Highatop325 ).

The three of us rarely missed games. Years ago Steve had to have his big toe removed due to diabetes so he missed games. It was always sweet going to the first game of the season and seeing Steve and Nick.

Steve had very strong opinions but we got along anyway. When he first saw me he would ALWAYS ask "How's work" which I would say "Work sucks" I also had to say " I hope the B's win tonight".

Many who worked at the Garden knew him and liked him.

He went into the hospital with covid19 and was on a ventilator. He seemed to beat it but then contracted MRSA.

I believe you all would have liked Steve. It won't be the same going back to the Garden and not seeing him. He was only 60.
