4/11- Capitals @ Bruins

Looked like Jack and Brick had one last signoff there that ESPN+ cut short.

Still, start Bussi in the Toilette du Nord.

Completely agree. Can't risk anything.

I am nervous simply because of how badly I want this team to go all the way, but I am also feeling a state of zen that I don’t think I’ve ever felt pre-playoffs. Maybe because they have already given so much joy this season, but also maybe because I think they are an army of tanks rolling in against bows and arrows.

It is not going to be easy by any means but they are as well-prepared as any team I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. And supremely motivated.

This was a hell of a year for my girlfriend to start following hockey. I have to keep reminding her that winning 80 percent of the games you play doesn't usually happen.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Does NESN still get round 1? Or no more?

 

[The Napkin]

yes

 

[Ed Hillel]

yes

Ok, so Jack has a few more.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Maybe Ullmark had the shits.

 

[The Napkin]

little known added wrinkle this year - the shirt off your back winners are actually playing on Thursday

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Makes me wonder how this’ll play out up here. CBC will get Toronto in the East, and Winnipeg and Edmonton out West. Who’s the big Canadian draw in the East outside TB-Toronto?

 

[wiffleballhero]

I love that DeBrusk plays with Reebok shoulders. He must have picked those up when he was 14. Bertuzzi's are also pretty rugged looking.

Bergeron's last regular season home jersey?

Dude.

Can they just wheel a shooter tutor out there?

Let’s not embarrass the Habs too much. The shooter tutor would make 25 saves and backstop the Baby B’s to a 4-2 win.

 

[joe dokes]

Maybe Ullmark had the shits.

I thought it looked like he just banged into the post. Maybe a bruise more than a muscle.

Until my eyes see them play like this in a playoff game, even for one period, the "will they do it's" remain. I just need a "yeah, ok, it's still the same guys."

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Considering Monty’s been talking to Scotty Bowman about how to deal with this, I’m strangely okay with them going into the post-season as is. I don’t think he’ll let complacency set in.

 

[LogansDad]

133 points. Unbelievable. LOL.

 

[durandal1707]

They also have more regulation wins than Carolina (the next best team by points percentage) has overall wins, and that's even if the Canes win on Thursday.

I'm not sure I can wrap my head around how good this team is.

 

[TFP]

They lost in regulation to a playoff team 6 times all season.

6.

 

[mostman]

What’s the process for letting one of those sweaters air out before you put it up on the wall?

 

[FL4WL3SS]

They lost in regulation to a playoff team 6 times all season.

6.

Wait that means they lost against non playoff teams 6 times as well.

We're doomed!

Yeah - but guess who they don't play in the playoffs!

It was 3-2 but the tutor bagged an ENG.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Yeah - but guess who they don't play in the playoffs!

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Montreal?

 

[TheAOE]

Is it wrong i am still annoyed they lost to Chicago?

Look at the bright side: that might be how they lose out on Bedard or Fantilli.

I was thinking the same thing last night. No gear stinks like hockey gear.

Right. And you simply can’t wash it. Especially if it’s signed.

 

[bibajesus]

In the raw denim world they like to avoid washing. They recommend sticking jeans in the freezer to take away the stink. I have no idea if it actually works.

Sure, that is why hockey gear left in your car in the winter magically no longer smells bad.
