From KPD's column

"Marchand is the Bruins’ first-year captain, going into the weekend with 397 goals and 910 points, on the doorstep of joining the elite company of Ray Bourque (1,518), Johnny Bucyk (1,436), Patrice Bergeron (1,294), Don Sweeney (1,052), David Krejci (1,032), Wayne Cashman (1,027), and Zdeno Chara (1,023) in the Bruins’ 1K club. Cashman, Bergeron, and Krejci, by the way, are the only ones as of today to spend their entire careers with the Black and Gold."

"What makes him tick is, he doesn’t accept being [typecast]. He wants to be great,” said Bruins coach Jim Montgomery. “That inner belief that he can work himself into being more than what other people may perceive. You know, his whole life he’s had a chip on his shoulder and I think that chip on his shoulder has allowed him to become one of the greatest Bruins of all time and one of the best leaders of our team.”

Most of the snow should be done but with how soft we have gotten around snow now that it rarely happens is the game at risk of postponement?

One of the all-time Bruins greats hitting 1000 for the team. Happy for Brad. We'll be seeing 1000s all over the board soon here. 1000+ GPs, 1000+ pts, and 1000+ PIMs.

The game isn't getting cancelled. It is coming early enough in the day where the main roads will be fine. Just allow for extra time if you're going.

I want to see a Marchand like effort from everyone tomorrow night. He deserves that

 

[TD Charlie]

The back and forth efforts are killing me. Having a hard time getting hyped for this one

I doubt it. I believe in southern NH it is 6-10 inches...No big deal. I will have to check out the weather.

See you there !

yes he does. If all players played with Brad's intensity, we would win more games.

Congrats to Brad on 1,000. I've probably been to 95% of the games he's played at home and have loved seeing his evolution from being pest, instigator, "crossing the line" guy to one of the best playmakers in the game. Very few can cut and turn like he does with the puck and make the opposition look foolish at times. I wish he was a little more selfish and shoot the puck more than dishing to a teammate, but that's just nitpicking. I'll be there tomorrow night like my wife and I have for the past 26 years. While Tuesday and Saturday's games were some of the worst we've seen, it doesn't compare to the 11-2 loss to the Leafs years ago (and we didn't leave early).

Go B's and we just want to see effort, regardless of the outcome. Play the F'in game like you mean it.

That is all. Cheers!

Love Freddy on the second line

Someone check on Fenian after he sees that 4th line

 

[BMC]

Glad to see Parker in the line up. He's been playing well and deserves it.

Shattenkirk is sick so he was not at practice

WOW!

Our first season as STH. And my bad, but it was only 10-2. Jan 4th, 2007 - Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins Box Score: January 4, 2007 | Hockey-Reference.com.

Thanks Dave Lewis!

It's remembered in my nightmares all the time.

Had forgotten that one.

Defensive star PJ Axelsson put up a -5!

Bruins led 2-1 after one.

Not even Tim Thomas could stop the Leafs.

Would love to not have to watch Boqvist regularly....don't like what he brings to the bottom 6 at all
