A broken leg and a broken thumb will do that to ya. He looks fine

 

[quietbruinfan]

It will be a typical grind for every inch game. They won a big one at home versus Pitt last night, so I expect them to come out really strong just as they did last time here. It's up to the Bruins to take advantage of their fatigue.

On a roundabout trip to the Gahden to meet @Ladyfan , courtesy of partial Orange and Green line closures, more track work and construction at Government Center AGAIN!!
Fishsticks could be first round PO matchup, so let’s have a nice, dominant regulation win with no injuries
Here we go BRUINS! Here we go

Just being silly, he looks fine. The thought jokingly crossed my mind when I was looking thru the gdt.

Play hard! Play smart. Be physical. Shoot the puck. Pass with a purpose. Please build upon the pp from last game. Also, heads up! No injuries. Be ready to play from puck drop! Let's go!


You already know the drill!

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I don’t dare watch this, it will be stuck in my head for weeks

 

[TP]

I'm scared!!

 

[sooshii]

I love this team.

The Islanders are actually WC2 right now, so potentially the first round matchup (though a few teams behind them have better points%). Interesting game for sure. They will fight hard to stay in that playoff position. With the early start I might actually stay awake to watch some of it.

 

[Mione134]

Welcome Back, Jake!

Top line is about to be BUZZIN!

I love this team.
