Hangin out in Tokyo-Narita airport waiting to board my flight to Logan. There's a small chance I can make it home for the third, I'd love to catch some B's hockey after a long trip away.

My dislike for the Canes, their fans, and social media crew is reaching Hab and Leaf level. Truly. f*** em all. I want to see a complete game. All around in every facet. Hit them hard. Get dirty. Get greasy. Shoot the puck. Hunt them down. Don't be lazy. Pass with a purpose. Heads need to be up. No injuries. Get the pp rolling please. I don't know how much more I can take watching its remarkable and frustrating. Fix it.


They're a good team so don't mess around. Get the win. And let them know we ain't playing around this year. Show em!


You know the drill

I really want a win but no injuries and a competitive game would be okay. Both teams played yesterday and the Canes only have 22 hours between games, Bruins had to travel though, so pretty even.

I want to see our goalie hug on their ice, their silly little routines on the ice are totally fabricated, our goalie hug is the real thing and I think the smattering of Canes fans in the building should see what real passion means.

Canes are rocking these for the game:

Which raises, the question, why did a team called the 'whalers', as in whale hunters, have a whale for a mascot? That's kind of twisted and sick, really!

Anyway, whatever colors the Canes are wearing, hope the Bruins are ready for them and put in a solid performance. The result doesn't really matter but this is as good a playoff test as they can get, so make good use of it.

I always wondered why the Whalers would have "Fudgie the whale" as their logo. They should have had a harpoon carrying version of the Islander's fisherman. ...Okay, maybe not him.

Time for roasted pig.

A Complete History of Pucky the Whale.

This seems like a good time tell this tale of the Whale, as Hartford has been talking about mascots a lot lately between Puckygate and the unveiling of the Yard Goat’s new mascot(s), Chompers…

Hate these Sunday night games.

I’ll catch the first and then watch the rest when I get home from my men’s league game tonight.

There's a Canadian guy who does great watercolor paintings and sketches of hockey scenes. His latest effort is pretty, pretty good:

He is awesome, I have just requested he do one of the comeback against the Leafs. Once he does that one, I'm getting "Not in my House" and the new one (I am positive he will do it) for the Bruins Bar.

Edit to add: He is based in Toronto!

Now this would make a good statue

They look like leprechauns. We know how to handle leprechauns.

Time for roasted pig.

My daughter has a pet pig (Cosmo). This was on his birthday.

 

[busman21]

Made the trek from Boston with the family for this one, taking the 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son(his first game ever). Hope for a repeat of my now 4 year olds first away game on long island when she was 7 months old where we won 5-0 and she fell asleep because there weren’t any goal horns!

If you see two kids with crazy curls in pasta and Bergeron jerseys say hi!

I love that you are going to the game!

Cheer loud for our boys and have a blast!

Where are you sitting? I will watch for the kiddos.

Upper bowl, finding 5 tickets together was tough and figure if my 2 year old loses his mind better to annoy people high up as they are more likely to tolerate it ha

Realistically the Canes should expect (and be expected) to win this one.

2nd best record in the league, strong at home and a game based on physicality.

The shoot a lot of low percentage shots, so we'll see fairly early how Swayman is feeling.
It's hard to imagine that the Bruins would be able to 'go to war' on consecutive nights if the Canes were to bring that type of game.

Canes 4 Bruins 1 - adrenaline glands running on empty after the Habs an Lightning games. State wide panic after another poor showing on the PP.

Nope.

Bs play well when they have lots of games.

3-2...Bruins

 

[neelynugs]

assume there's some load management going on today, wonder who isn't playing/traveling.

Wouldn’t bother me if key Bruins sat this one out. There may be no substitute for victory, but you don’t win the war with an army of wounded and exhausted troops.

Should be an interesting day.

 

[Alicat]

If Greer is back today, it is his 100th game. Not bad that it took him 99 games to get a suspension.

I want Grizz to get his 100th assist today and Pasta to get his 50th goal and 600th point.

Most of all, I want Sway to get his 50th win

I need to go for a walk and run to Lamberts (hello giant salad bar) then I'll get the GDT to @Fenway by 2.

Anyone want to do my homework for me?

I don't consider the Canes a physical team, certainly not in the class of a heavy team like TB but they can be sneaky in that department, losing their Russian star hurts them in this department among other things. Last night the Leafs were clearly the more physical and hungrier team, but the Canes as good teams do found a way to win.
