Thanks for the great GDT! Hopefully the winning continues, I am enjoying the ride!

Talking to my coworkers yesterday (Leafs fans), they are saying the Bruins are peaking early, will go out in the first round, etc. I hate not having other Bruins to talk to at work.

Andersen has to make 40+ saves a night because their team defence is weak at best. Enough said.

Am I wrong in thinking that the playoff game where Brad Park scored in OT was played on weekday afternoon because of a conflict with the Celts?

Listening to the clip above, it doesn’t sound that way as Fred is reporting scores from other games.

Anyone remember?

I was there, sitting in the loge at that end. Very memorable. Definitely played at night.

There was a game in that series played on a Friday afternoon but it wasn't Game 7 - it was Game 2

This was the Scotty Bowman No-Doz Special, the National Hockey League's answer to marathon dancing and cramming for final exams. And for the most part, it produced the expected results:
Thousands of Greater Bostonians who normally would be found at their places of employment on a Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock were forced to take yesterday off in order to attend their grandmother's funeral at Boston Garden.nEntire civilizations disappeared in the exhaust-fume jungle of rush hour on Causeway Street area parking lot operators made enough for the day to put a down payment on that quaint little retirement villa along the Riviera they'd been yearning for.

Bowman, the Buffalo Sabres' general manager-coach, who was responsible for yesterday's starting time and the attendant inconveniences, was saluted by the appreciative Garden crowd. They offered a chant questioning the nature of Bowman's diet. All routine stuff, considering the circumstances. But what wasn't routine, considering the circumstances, was the performance of the Bruins. It was positively shocking.The Bruins were crisp, aggressive and intimidating, a model of playoff efficiency, as they dominated the Sabres, 5-3, and tied their best-of-seven Stanley Cup quarterfinal at a game apiece. It's not that you wouldn't expect such play from the team that posted the best regular-season record in the NHL. It's just that you wouldn't expect the team to rouse itself in such a hurry.

These were the same Bruins who had been manhandled by Buffalo, 7- 4, in the series opener Thursday night. In that game, they had looked like a bunch of guys trying to find seats on the Green Line at peak time. They had stumbled and careened. They had stepped on each other's feet. They had kept bumping into one another. They had been caught trying to read the newspaper over their neighbor's shoulder. Sixteen hours later, returning to the scene of the crime with no time to regroup and the nightmare of the debacle still haunting their thoughts, they were transformed into the typical, fire- breathing Bruins.

When Bowman insisted that the series' first two games follow the NHL's Thursday-Friday mandate, he had figured that the condensed schedule would take its toll of Boston. He had figured that two games in 16 hours would sap the Bruins' wounded and weary.

Guess who the sap turned out to be.
