OT on this bit, so if there's a "Boston Forever" thread, please to move,
Ken Dryden: For the love of Boston
Ken Dryden: For the love of Boston
Busy writing a research paper and I stumbled on this thread during a break.
When I read the title the first thing that popped into my head was a random name from the dark days of the mid 90s (hey, its 1am). Trent McCleary. More famous for almost dying than anything else he did on the ice.
OT: "The Lachness Monster" became "Let 'em In Lacher." Throw him away, not interesting anymore. Next!
And Thornton should be "stripped of his captaincy." Not because he had a poor series, but because he wouldn't meet with prick media types like KPD. How dare he?
I always hated DuPont. Still do.
The term K-Mart of arenas has been used to describe the FleetCenter.
Argument I’ve heard is that JJ went very basic because there was no public funding used.
I vaguely remember Sports Beat.
Was it on 38?
Bunch of Boston writers including CHB. Sort of like ESPN’s The Sports Reporters.
It was a big deal when my mom got my dad NESN for Christmas one year.
I HATED that my dad would watch SportsDesk. The graphics and hilights were all grainy and lame. I’d immediately change it to SportsCenter after he’d leave for work.
Remember Fan Attic on NESN?
Remember during the ‘94 lockout, NESN showing hilights of the ‘69-70 season?
I didn't get to the Boston.com board until 2005 and was a regular until 07 or so when it mostly died. It was pretty crazy. I remember people complaining wildly about HFboards as a place for snobs. I think back then you had to ask to be let in to HFboards?
HF has never been by invitation.
It has always had an application and agreement to abide by the site rules to gain admission.
I migrated here from Yahoo Sports message board. Funny enough, a couple of guys on that board were telling other people to move here, but were also saying that it was by invitation only. I just tried to apply and was approved without the invitation. Always thought I snuck in by mistake.
When the Jets were around the first time remember that banner of Queen Elizabeth in the rink? That was unique.
Always thought Morris Lukowich would look great on the Bruins until we got him.And he wasn't.But if Oskar turns out to be half the player of Tomas Steen we got a player on our hands.
I still have mine buried in a moving box somewhere. I came close to hucking it on the ice that night.Remember right after the lockout we played the Habs and Fitzy got a penalty and it reigned down all the mini Stanley Cups they had given us as fan-favors? Andrew Raycroft hid in his net.
I still have my cup--its downstairs, never opened and I dust it once a week.
Ok, good memory time.
I remember 2008 game 6...that game sparked their 2010s run
My and my brother decided to buy tickets that morning and sat up in the balcony. Easily the greatest sporting event I have seen live. The atmosphere was rocking from the first second. The game itself was a perfect hockey game. No lead higher than 1. Both teams just throwing haymakers all night.
I remember our entire section was hugging each other after Sturm's goal. Then being nervous as all hell for the final 2 minutes.

Pure curiosity, what is it about Dupont that you don't like?
