If that injury happens how long are players typically out? Or just go cage like CK?

Everytime I see the 'Dracarys gif' it just reminds me of the instant reaction you get after being owned by someone or something and you turn around like 'f*** that I'm winning'

Whenever I post it, just know this is how I feel when I do it.

Great win ! I watched the first period at the Northside General hospital in Cape Breton . My 83 year old Dad ( lifelong Bruins fan ) is dying . He has Alzheimer’s. Even though he is unconscious we had the game on my iPad . I knew that is the way he would want to go out . Dad would have been proud . Goodbye Dad ! You were the best .

Not a Bruins fan (obv.), but your comment brought a few tears to my eye. Lost my 97-year-old mom under similar circumstances in early Dec 2022. Instead of hockey video, she got the Hallmark Christmas Channel treatment. I had the same sense as you that she was enjoying “the program.” Passed in my arms.

May your memories sustain you.

Here’s to a good game tonite (Altho I am of course expecting the worst :-( )

This brought a tear to my eye as well. Blessings to you, and condolences.

Cant beat Seinfeld my favorite show of all time. When I'm down I put it on . My favorite I was in the pool!

Significant shrinkage!

Islanders shake up lineup, but lose last game of homestand to Bruins

They brought up prospect forward William Dufour and journeyman defenseman Dennis Cholowski from Bridgeport, but it didn't help their weak offense.

That's pretty much what I was saying - without trading up, there isn't anyone who stands out as more deserving. Good news is that Smith's play is trending in the right direction, and he's not hurting the team. If that's the worst thing we have to deal with, I'm fine with that.

Indeed...

Blessings to your Dad and all your family....

I'm so sorry, I am sure deep down in his mind, having you there and that game playing was making his way easier. Once a Bruins fan, always a Bruins fan. My thoughts are with you.

Thought it was pretty telling that Bergy left the ice after the game without waiting for the rest of the team to get off. He always waits. Hopefully not too banged up.

Bergy was off last, hugged Linus and went off the ice with him.

Love this !! My Dad passed away before the Rangers won the Cup in 94. A Rangers Cup win puck is still on his grave. We are with you my friend !

Ladies and Gents, this is more than just a hot streak. This team is a band of Bros at the right place/right time. Its almost unfathomable to think they have another gear to reach too. Wow. Wish the playoffs could start now.

 

[Terrier]

Nice win, I made a small hedge bet on the Isles at +170, the B's are cleaning me out!

It depends on exactly where he got hit. It looks like it hit him right to the side of his nose which means broken nose and then you worry if he broke his cheekbone. If his maxillary sinus, which is right behind it, is not compromised then he can likely play with a cage a la Chris Kelly. If it has impacted his sinus and ability to breathe then he's out.

An x-ray will tell them if there are any breaks or fluid in the sinus. He'd need a CT scan to assess the damage to his sinuses on that side.

I can only go by my own sinus surgeries, one of which I had to have my septum reset because It was deviated and pushed into my sinus. The first one I bounced back right away and the second one back in 2018 put me on my ass for 3 weeks between healing and light sensitivity. I had instant relief with both but I couldn't fully smell or breathe for about 4 weeks.

The good news is that to fix everything they go up through your nose while you are under anesthesia. Boston has the best ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctors in the world. He's in good hands.

Bottom line is Bergy's going to need his nose fixed at some point.

The Bruins are going to the Stanley Cup final.

This calls for extra treats for Darla!!

I love that he was one of the 3 stars tonight! Well deserved.

 

[Ladyfan]

That goal was created by Smith's tough forecheck.

Yep.

I am so sorry @Caper Bruins fan . I know how hard that is. I was with my Dad when he passed too.

My Dad was also a huge Bs fan and left us in 2003 due to Alzheimer's.....and he was born in Halifax NS.

Loved the Frederick goal. top shelf is the only way you score there. He's finding his groove.

Watch how he handled the puck, he didn't.
Puck hit his stick and shot on the same sequence.
Didn't handle the puck at all, didn't give the goalie a chance to get over or into position.
Contrast that to the Philly game with Greer. Similar play, and position, but he holds on to the puck
for about 1 second and the goalie makes the save.

 

[whatsbruin]

This is when you REALLY know your teammates have your back...

Sure hope Monty has drills for that in practice.

 

[BTO]

84 Tigers went 35-5.

Exactly. Best start I’ve ever seen (until now of course). Led wire to wire and won the World Series, just like Secretariat did and just like the Bruins are going to do (and by “wire to wire” I include the playoffs). Bruins are Big Red! Big Black and Gold!! Go Bruins!!!!

*runs around the forum high fiving everyone and devising a force field to put around Bergy's face*

VICTORY COOKIES!!!!

​

*David Coyle is running out of ways to praise this team*

Congratulations to Linus on his 100th NHL win. I loved that spin move he did although I cringed when he left his crease, he could have been hammered.

Charlie Coyle had 2 assists

I'm always happy when Derek Forbort scores a goal. He is such a beast on defense & the PK.

On to the Rangers!!!

Even Islander fans love The Hug!

I'm so sorry for your loss. When my mother was dying we played a mix of her favorite music. Like your dad she was unconscious but we knew she could hear it.
