Bruins vs. Stars part 2 is my favorite start to a game ever. Makes me really miss the old Merlot line.

Anyway, 5-2 Bruins Bergeron(2-1), Marchand(0-4), McAvoy (2), Nash (1eng).

How many other than I have to work and miss it today? Although I will be watching on my NHL app

 

[LouJersey]

Debrusk on 82 game pace for 22-29-51
Heinen on 82 game pace for 22-46-68

I NEVER would have predicted that type of success. Kudos to the brass and the players on that.

 

[s3antana5757]

We practice at that time, but will be watching on DVR! Let's go B's!

Take a day of ! I did.

I still think they need to get McQuaid in. They can rotate. Having an extra d man is a good thing...especially heading into the playoffs.

Heading on to Boston soon.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

Got the day off, AND a 1:00 Bruins game? Woot!

 

[Boston Bruno]

Dallas is a tough game. Please no Seguin hatty. I think we will need a very stout game from Khudobin.

 

[TCB]

lets Go Bruins! Make it 13 straight with at least a point!!

This could very likely be a game of special Teams

• Since Nov. 18 the Bruins rank first in the NHL in 5-on-5 goals for/goals against ratio at 67.4 percent (60-29).
• Since Nov. 18 the Stars rank third in 5-on-5 goals for/goals against ratio at 60.2 percent (56-37).

Seriously considering taking a vacation day. It's snowing here in CO and the Bruins are on TV, how am I supposed to work?

Dude, save your vacation days. The phone hasn't rang once here. Even my boss seems totally defeated.

 

[neelynugs]

did anyone go to the season ticket holder state of the union today? usually there's 1-2 decent nuggets from neely or sweeney.

 

[Paddington]

First day back to work since before Christmas. Watching the game as soon as I get home will be a nice change....and I'll be able to forward the commercials.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

This could be a trap type game with Montreal coming back in on Wednesday.

 

[Florida Bruin]

Have we reached a conclusion on whether or not we lost the Seguin Trade? And if so, how badly?

Sorry to bring it up but I need a little peace of mind and closure. This bothers me a whole lot more than the Dougie Hamilton/Debrusk/Barzal 2015 thing.

Yes, Boston loss the trade. Seguin hasn't led Dallas to the Promised Land, but Chiarelli gave up a budding superstar for 50 cents on the dollar.

[Florida Bruin]

But have we figured out the reason we did it?

Hamilton and his family wanted out apparently, but what is the excuse in Seguin case?

Did he not get along with Julien? Did he ask out?

I will have to watch Bruins in 2, I'm doing a continuing education webinar and the damn technology can track if you are looking at another site
