I despise the entitled, arrogant Pens. I think I actually despise them less now that FSG owns them, but it is a close call. Uncle Gary probably will not give FSG the favorable treatment he gave Mario's group.
Bergy back in Boston, makes me a bit nervous.
Good refs today for once. Drop the puck and go.

 

[Ladyfan]

Please beat these losers and don't get hurt.

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win today!

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Aeroforce]

Wow, B's power play has dropped to 15th.

If it were top 5 like early in the season, they may not even be at double digits for losses.

Please fix it and save us all some (more) gray hair come playoffs.

It's on the update on 98.5. Gasper and Murray, their best show.

Matty Ports

Thanks! I just missed his tweet before I asked. Kinda figured he'd be out tbh.

I did guess the right goalie tho!

Wonder if Steen plays tomorrow

I had the same thought after getting mine out a few years ago. I went and had that beer and it burned like hell. Don’t do it hahahaha

Posted again from the PGT.
Alright boys. Be ready to play from puck drop. Now listen. We need to start getting good habits flowing again. That means good passes. Quick entries in the zone. Shots on net. Backchecking and forchecking. Battle on the boards. Get in front of the goalie. Get greasy. Stand tall. Be physical. We get it. You're tired and waiting for the playoffs. But it's not time yet. There are things to work on. Especially the pp. So, let's focus on that. Work hard. Play smart. Heads up. No injuries!
Let's get it!


You know the drill!
