Don’t take the boots off their necks.
Finish them off.
Maybe the Captain is back. Maybe he isn’t. Doesn’t matter. Finish them.

Bring lozenges. It hurt to talk for two days after game 1.Tonight will be my first ever Bruins playoff game. I'll be there with my dad and son.
I've seen all of the other Boston teams in the playoffs. I've seen wins from all other Boston teams in the playoffs. And I've seen those wins in championship seasons (Sox game 1 2018 WS; Celts game 2 2008 vs. Lebron; Pats 2003 divisional vs. Titans and SB vs. Panthers).
So tonight completes the grand slam of seeing all four teams; and hopefully eventually completes the grand slam of seeing all four teams win playoff games in championship years.
Win.
The double play to end the seventh inning in Game 7 of the 2007 ALCS against Cleveland is the loudest I’ve ever heard Fenway. It was fucking bedlam.Tonight will be my first ever Bruins playoff game. I'll be there with my dad and son.

I've been basically unable to sleep or otherwise function since procuring the tickets. Huge bucket list item for me. Could not be more excited.The double play to end the seventh inning in Game 7 of the 2007 ALCS against Cleveland is the loudest I’ve ever heard Fenway. It was fucking bedlam.
Playoff hockey is like that all the time.
Thanks for reminding me of that Lugo drop.The double play to end the seventh inning in Game 7 of the 2007 ALCS against Cleveland is the loudest I’ve ever heard Fenway. It was fucking bedlam.

I assume Ullmark is healthy as can be as they sent Bussi back down to Providence yesterday. It now becomes a question of do you think they switch him out in game 5. I think Montgomery goes with Ullmark so long as he is good to go.Thanks for reminding me of that Lugo drop.
What time do we think we will hear about Bergergon/Ullmark? I don't think Ill be able to focus on work until I know.
Careful, grasshopper, with these opinions!Maybe the Captain is back. Doesn’t matter.
I don’t think they’d be posting stuff like this if he didn’t have a green light:What time do we think we will hear about Bergergon/Ullmark? I don't think Ill be able to focus on work until I know.
Ekblad and Duclair are expected to play -- why do you think they might be short-handed? If Bergeron is ready, he should play regardless.Honestly, with Florida most likely being short handed, let him and Krejci rest up for Toronto.

Awesome, thanks. I'd still like an apology from @Myt1, but all things considered very happy with the Ullmark (and seems like Bergeron) positive news.
I was at three straight Game 7 losses, and the energy getting sucked out of the room (especially in OT vs. Carolina with Scott fucking Walker in 2009) was a physical, palpable thing. Like an abscess. It’s insane. Playoff hockey in person is basically a drug. Game 6 against Vancouver got me over it a bit. I hope you love it and they get a win for you.I've been basically unable to sleep or otherwise function since procuring the tickets. Huge bucket list item for me. Could not be more excited.
Dude, that emotional flip from low to high was fucking insane. Can’t taste the sweet without the sorrow, something something.Thanks for reminding me of that Lugo drop.
Win this series tonight. Don't take an unnecessary trip to Florida if we can help it. If he's ready to play, he should play.Honestly, with Florida most likely being short handed, let him and Krejci rest up for Toronto.
That Carolina OT game in 2009 was the worst feeling I had at a sports game. Just an absolute gut punch for the entire building like you described. Sitting in the gov't center garage in my car waiting in the line to leave in total silence was as low as it gets.I was at three straight Game 7 losses, and the energy getting sucked out of the room (especially in OT vs. Carolina with Scott fucking Walker in 2009) was a physical, palpable thing.

On the flip side - Game 6 against the Canucks is the single best sports experience of my life. The delirium in the building when Luongo started skating to the bench is unlike anything else I've experienced in my life.
I have sometimes thought of that poor little kid who they used to put on the Jumbotron, so he could take off his shirt to show the Bs emblem and flex and wave his shirt above his head, and hoped that he turned out OK after that game. He was fucking exhausted by OT, and I can’t imagine how he felt when they lost. Left it all out on the ice that night, he did.View attachment 64027
I was at a friends for the Carolina game 7, and sat in my car contemplating life after that OT goal for 15 minutes or so before finally driving home. As far as tonight goes just get the win. Agree it's tempting to rest Bergeron but if he can play he should...and Im sure there are other important guys that are a bit banged up that could use an extra day or two off, and not an extra flight and game in florida.
Advice fit for any thread. But best for this one today.Don't take an unnecessary trip to Florida if we can help it.
SHE'S A WWWhicked lucky human being! /hotmicMy friend's mother was just Caller Number 10 on SportsHub and won tickets lol.
