- Thread starter daburgaman
- Start date
The Bruins need to play better than Thursday. Take it to them early and leave no doubt.
Bergie ceremony = pumped up crowd, pumped up team. Win.

I feel like Peak Jack would catch on to the fact that it’s the 3rd best 5-on-5 team vs the 3rd worst.
If Swayman had made that he would have supplanted Lindholm as the team’s empty net Champeen of the world.
Good win. As late as 8:00 left in the third there was a possibility that this game could have gone much like the last one.
Swayman was also +1.34 in actual vs. expected goals today. Hope that's a sign that he's turning around some poor play and can at least be a decent backup going forward.
Glad the stats match my very non-professional eyes. He looked better today to me.
I'm going to give the shooter the lion's share of the credit on the roofed backhand. I think the bulk of NHLers miss that even if there's no goalie.
I think my son's head would have exploded if the Sway shot went in. That would have been something the witness in person. Either way, great day at the rink.
So I’m putting this in a game thread because it’s a tangentially cool thing that isn’t worth a spot in the news thread, but we went down to Saint Andrews, NB this weekend to meet with my parents for a Christmas gift exchange. When we get there, we notice a coach bus by the resort door and quite a few people wearing Hockey Canada stuff. Turns out, the Canadian junior team is using the resort as a pre-tournament camp base while they practice in St. Stephen (Don Sweeney’s hometown) during the day. I’m now 99% sure I saw Shane Wright walking behind my parents at dinner.
