[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I know Forbort missed a bunch of time, but that third pairing was not good at all last night

Nice win tho wish they got to 10 haha.

Stoked for Heinen, guys the perfect utility knife

He made some nice plays in front of the net ,maybe the Bruins should give him some power play time more often,although Montreal was brutal covering the front of the net.

For this old hockey fan seeing the Bruins whip Montreal is a good feeling.

Beating them in 1988 was as good as winning the Cup.


Winning the Cup in 2011 was even sweeter because they had to beat Montreal to advance out of the first round and that series started very badly.

One thing I have learned over the years is Habs fans came to respect the Bruins - In contrast, Toronto fans never have.

There was an infamous scalper in Montreal that went by the name of Kelly. He once told me that the Bruins were his meal ticket.

Toronto comes in I might have enough for 3 days at Old Orchard Beach, Boston comes in I can do Aruba for a week.

Kelly worked the Garden as well and the Charlestown crew let him do his thing because Kelly had a loyal customer in South Boston who visited Montreal often

I miss the rivalry

Love the stories... those days, despite where we usually ended up, were so much fun.

God did I hate Mario Tremblay. And Yvonne Lambert (probably the nicest guy in the world, I don't know) can go f*** himself. TMM. What a killer.

Anyway, I remember scraping and hustling to somehow get into the old Garden when the Habs were in town and it was electric, magic, intense. Seriously, it was hard to describe. And I'm not being the old fogie when I say you kids missed something. You just did. Days gone by that will never be repeated.

Sitting in that dirty old Garden with the layers of gold paint that looked like it had been slathered on the wooden seats with a spatula, with what looked like spanish moss hanging from rafters, literally sitting on top of ice (careful if you had a few pops and in the nosebleeds, those steps were steep), then going out at intermission to get a beer and walking the clouds of smoke in the hallways.

Waiting for the dude in the Gallery Gods to start slowly banging his hand in rhythm against the side of the metal balcony.

All that watching the action from Bobby Orr vs. Guy Lafleur, to O'Reilly vs. Nilan, to Jay Miller vs. John Kordic, to Cam Neely absolutely OWNING Patrick Roy when it finally started to turn our way. Magic days.

The noise alone was worth the entry fee. Truly.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

great win.
but hopefully wotherspoon in for gryz against the mighty jets. tgat should make pairings vetter. it will get lindholm with mcavoy and carlo with wotherspoon.
also gotta get the puck out on the pk- (missed wotherspoon on this) numerous chances to get it out but instead they try and make a cute play for offense. just get it out.

 

[lopey]

- was really hoping for a 10 spot tonight.

- anybody know why O'Reilly wasn't part of the pre-game ceremony ???? I'm really hoping that health reasons are not involved.

- did you guys know that tonight's pre-game ceremony was completely " classless ". For a good chuckle check out this complete whine fest: Classless Bruins

Whiners will whine

 

[hrdpuk]

Heinen 3rd goal was a beauty. The way he played the net front and moved the Habs D.

 

[Ladyfan]

Last night will certainly be one of the highlights of the year!

Hopefully there will be more and better highlights.

 

[Ladyfan]

OK...just made a fresh hot mug of tea....off to read (not post) the Montreal GDT.

 

[nORRis8]

A couple toughies coming up plus the Sens always plus us tough.
Watched the Wings/Canes the other night. Canes won 4-2 but their forechecking was off the charts. Wings finished with 12 shots on goal.

 

[The don godfather]

Poitras didn't even get a point!
Linus sucked!
Our PK was bad!

Am I doing it right?

It was Danton night the end.

 

[bruins19]

I don’t understand why people get all riled up about the wave. It’s just folks having fun … if you don’t like it, just don’t do it…
Being embarrassed for the fan base seems odd to me.

I took it as mocking the Scabs. The wave started because of the blowout?

The series win in '88 is still my favorite moment as a Bruins fan. The cup win was amazing, but reversing the hex that the Habs had on the B's, and in such dominant fashion, brought pure elation. It's hard to explain to someone who didn't grow up with the misery of watching the B's lose to the Habs in the playoffs, every single time.

Really only happens in blowout games.

 

[rfournier103]

Is there video of the pregame ceremony? I missed it last night.

 

[BMC]

I thought of you when Danton scored his third! I was so happy for him (as was the entire Bs bench).

Danton has always been a favorite of mine & I was glad when he re-signed with the Bs.

 

[KrejciMVP]

wonder how long St Louis stays in Montreal. Team is going nowhere and their talent hasn't really taken that next step

 

[BMC]

I'll be waiting with the soap & high pressure hot water hose when you get back

 

[bruinshoper]

He made some nice plays in front of the net ,maybe the Bruins should give him some power play time more often,although Montreal was brutal covering the front of the net.

Especially considering everyone in the arena knew the only persons that needed to be covered during that power play was heinen…no one else was going to shoot the puck towards the goalie.

Yeah Montreals coverage in front of the net was absolutely appalling.

Yeah. Folks having some fun and enjoying a complete blowout/thrashing. Chanting Ole, the wave, etc. seems like good hearted fun to me.

 

[JOKER 192]

Nice night to pad the stats against the terrible rivals.

Watched the game on HNIC, really great broadcast.

Next two games should be great challenges.

Interesting numbers:

Debrusk 11-13-24 +13
Freddy 13-11-24 +13

we see different things
