10/5 - HOCKEY IS BACK

[TSC]

For fucking SHAME RMPS.

It's the season opener, HOCKEY IS BACK and there's no thread yet?

I'll be in the house tonight, Bjorking my brains out.

Who else is in?

(Oh Bergeron and Backes may be out. Bummer)

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Not in the house, but I'll be around North Station a couple hours prior to the game... if you reaaaaaally coax me I may have a beer

 

[kenneycb]

I make my well anticipated return to the NESHL tonight but should be able to catch about 1.5 periods before having to leave. Hooray me!

 

[LogansDad]

I thought about starting the thread last night, but didn't feel like I had earned the right to start opening day thread.

I thought I wasn't going to get to see this one because I was supposed to be flying out yesterday for a custody hearing in New Mexico.... but then my step son came down with appendicitis, so I had the pleasure of canceling my non-refundable plane tickets that I never had the money for anyway, and I'll be doing the hearing by phone. Not really optimal, but hey, at least I get to watch HOCKEY from the comfort of my own home.

Go Bruins!

Where you playing?

My team has our season opener tonight too, but I will obviously be skipping out on that.

 

[TFP]

It's week 4 for us tonight. Debating skipping but I think we're short guys so I know I should go.

I'll also catch about 1.5 periods on tv plus a bunch on the radio. No Goucher will make me sad.

Walter Brown

Previous team was a bunch of wicked smart Harvard MBA's that disbanded so had to go the draft route, which included a tryout where four people showed up, I skated around for 20 minutes, and got on a team. So will be interesting to see what the team is like.

 

[mwonow]

New seasons are cool. All the best to the Bs and the RMPS stalwarts who breathe with them!

 

[TheRealness]

(Oh Bergeron and Backes may be out. Bummer)

No way I am starting off the first game thread. I am a curse.

I will be in the house tonight in our usual seats (Loge 18, Row 4). I have no idea where I will be going beforehand now that NorthStar is closed. Any suggestions? Looking for decent food, plus ability to drink whiskey and get fired up for the game.

 

[TheRealness]

And I will punch anyone who says "The Fours" right in the dick.

 

[cshea]

No Bergy or Backes at morning skate.

Marchand - Spooner - Bjork
DeBrusk - Krejci - Pastrnak
Beleskey - Kuraly - Vatrano
Schaller - Nash - Acciari

Chara - Carlo
Miller - McAvoy
Grzelyck - McQuaid

Rask

So pumped for the season.

 

[cshea]

Bergy and Backes ruled out. Bummer.

 

[veritas]

Will be there for the game and pre-game. Prob halftime for pizza then who knows

 

[TheRealness]

Bergy and Backes ruled out. Bummer.

So, Spooner will be the first line Center. That's nice.

Hehe. I'm ok. I am. I'm fine. Things are alright. We're going to be just fine. Ok? Just fine.

 

[LogansDad]

Bergeron being out sucks, but....

To school this morning, my daughter wore her Tom Brady jersey underneath my Bergeron jersey (since it was like 47 degrees cold, thank you California). I think this bodes well for our chances tonight.

McGann's is the play. Food is somewhat lower than decent, into mediocre range, but the generous jamo pours make up for it

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Sox on at 1, B's on at 4. Hooray West coast!

Let's check my calendar at those times... Oh work meetings.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Hehe. I'm ok. I am. I'm fine. Things are alright. We're going to be just fine. Ok? Just fine.

Ugh. Oh well, hockey is back.

 

[Haunted]

Fire Clode!

Have you ever been to the Tap Room on Cambridge St.? Good beer list, good food.

 

[NickEsasky]

Have you ever been to the Tap Room on Cambridge St.? Good beer list, good food.

You mean Tip Tap room? If that is the spot you mean I second the recommendation. One of the best tap lists in Boston.

Also, Go B's!

 

[kenneycb]

My dad once called the Tip Tap Room a dive bar. I will have to assume he had spent the day loading up on high ABV beers prior to going there.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

He sure he didn't end up at Beacon Hill Pub?

 

[kenneycb]

Yeah. He mentioned the food specifically and, much like my beloved Mary Ann's, I believe the only food at BHP is the vending machine.

Yes I meant the Tip Tap Room. Thanks.

 

[TFP]

My dad once called the Tip Tap Room a dive bar. I will have to assume he had spent the day loading up on high ABV beers prior to going there.

You sure he didn’t mean The Tam? Now that’s a dive bar.

 

[kenneycb]

No, it was by the Garden and he went there specifically to schmooze with the manager to get his beer in the restaurant or something. I can't really remember outside of the fact I went there after that Saturday matinee game a few years back against the Flyers where basically all of RMPS was in attendance.

 

[McDrew]

Sox on at 1, B's on at 4. Hooray West coast!

Let's check my calendar at those times... Oh work meetings.

I'm in OR this week. I had the same reaction.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

You sure he didn’t mean The Tam? Now that’s a dive bar.

What about the Tap your Mom room? I was there for like 30 seconds once.

 

[kenneycb]

What about the Tap your Mom room? I was there for like 30 seconds once.

You're two time the man Rick Pitino is.

 

[LogansDad]

Yeah man, it's great out here.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Go BBBBBs!!!!
So fired up for this team.

 

[TheRealness]

McGann's is the play. Food is somewhat lower than decent, into mediocre range, but the generous jamo pours make up for it

Have you ever been to the Tap Room on Cambridge St.? Good beer list, good food.

I wanted the Tip Tap. Wife liked the simplicity of McGanns.

I'm at McGann's. thankfully, they have whiskey.

 

[TheRealness]

Big shots O whiskey. PSK you get me.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Wait where are you? I'm here

Update: no longer there

 

[veritas]

Ya, look for a ginger and a luxuriously bearded Iranian man at the bar

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Sox on at 1, B's on at 4. Hooray West coast!

Let's check my calendar at those times... Oh work meetings.

I’ll see that and raise:

Prince Edward Island, Sox at 5, Bruins at 8, and cable has Centre Ice for free this week. Aaaaaaand that’s when my Blue Jays lovin’ boss decides I need to work an evening in the lab. Boo.

 

[TheRealness]

Dammit. Didn't refresh fast enough. Was near big tv with blonde wife looking at me condescendingly.

 

[TheRealness]

Going over to garden for warmups. Need my Bjork exposure.

 

[TSC]

Going over to garden for warmups. Need my Bjork exposure.

He's even more impressive in person.

Got myself a McAvoy player-t. They didn't have Bjork yet. I regret only little.

 

[TSC]

Take this for what it's worth - but the young B's players look like they're having fun in warmups. Lots of small checks into the boards when sitting f around, Marchand just pushed Vatrano over after the scrum drill. They're goofing around out there and it's kind of cool to see.

It could mean nothing, but it looks like the young kids may have some chemistry.

 

[TSC]

Marchand and Subban we're just each trying to wait each other out for last ones on the ice. Subban outlasted Marchie.

 

[TheRealness]

I just uncontrollably started swearing at Subban for firing it at the empty net. Let's fucking goooooooooooo

 

[Jordu]

Oh but you missed NESN fawning all over Jeremy Jacobs. Most unpleasant.

Can’t wait to see this team.

 

[Jordu]

I’ve never seen an NHL starting 20 with so many high jersey numbers.

 

[cshea]

Marchand has an A

 

[cshea]

Don't love the black socks.

 

[ngruz25]

Don't love the black socks.

I forgot all about them, HATE.

 

[cshea]

Be more selfish Anders
