2015 Off Season Game Thread
- Thread starter The Napkin
- Start date
Sooooo the 27th or 28th? I need to make sure I have child care locked on. I'm not missing out this year.
4 years ago tonight....
I was kind of bummed there's a game tonight. I was thinking about hitting at on the dvr at 8 and reliving it in real time. Without the ohmygodimgonnapukeandhaveastrokeandaheartattack feeling this time

Drink it in.
I'd nearly forgotten Jannik Hansen's douchebaggery at 8:08 when the game was out of reach. Not to mention his spear on McQuaid

Second place again Ryan? Bummer

Whoa, hey! 4 is better than 8, huh?
The complete and utter disdain the Bruins had for that Canucks team by that point was so great to see.
Also- ups to Bieksa for giving Thomas the game puck at the buzzer. He can be a dick, but that was classy.

I watched dafoomie's highlights from the wins the other day and one of the things that stood out to me that was completely different than this year's final was that in 2011 after *every* whistle there was a scrum and some pushing and shoving and words and there was obviously complete hatred. This year the whistle would blow and it was like oh, okay. Back to the bench, line change, drop the puck.
This was a GREAT final but I missed that bit of snarl the Bruins-Canucks series had.
I had to figure out how to say "your project is a trash fire, and I'm staying the hell away from it" nicely in a work email today. Politics are awesome.
I'm putting together a google docs spreadsheet so we can do another prediction thread, and I'm trying to figure out a way to "score" our predictions.
This is my tenative list of things to score on (and how much they'll be worth). I'd love feedback on better scoring, or more things to predict.
Golf Scoring(lowest is the winner).
B's Season Statistics
Regular Season Points (difference/4)
Atlantic Division Finish (difference)
Top Goal Scorer (-3 if right)
Goal Total (Difference /3)
Top Point Scorer (-5 if right)
Point Total (Difference / 5)
Rask GAA (Difference / .10)
Awards (-2 for each right)
Bruins 7th Man
Hart
Vezina
Calder
Norris
Adams
Selke
Postseason
Atlantic/Metro/Central/Pacific (who goes to the ECF/WCF) (-3 if correct, WC is a valid selection for the WC team in that bracket).
Cup Winner (-5 if correct)
Fun Stats
Zac Rinaldo Games Played (Difference / 10)
Date of Julien's firing (Exact, -5, within a week, -3, within a month -1)
Date of Sweeney's firing (Exact, -5, within a week, -3, within a month -1) (For each of the above two, "Not Fired" awards -1 if the person is fired between the last regular season game for the Bruins and the first Playoff game for any team, -3 if the firing happens at any point during the postseason, and -5 if that person is employed the day after the SCF.)
B's Fighting Majors during the season (Difference/5)
Games played in the NHL by any of the '15 first round picks (Zboril, DeBrusk, Senyshyn) (Difference /20)
This is what I have so far. Suggestions are welcome

It's not even the 4th of July and I'm ready for the first puck to drop. Anyone else itching to get going? Not making the playoffs makes for a llllloooonnngggg off season.
I finally started watching Archer about 2 weeks ago. The first season was brilliant, the second was slowing down a bit and I wasn't as thrilled with it until I watched the breast cancer episode last night. I laughed out loud several times. I waited a long time to get into the show, but I'm glad I finally did.
Watching Archer the first time through made last winter/spring quite unproductive. I was not complaining though.
I read a story about zoo who had an orphaned ocelot and they brought in an Aussie Shepherd to to teach it how to play-fight. My first thought was how could they have not named it Babou? Stupid fox-earred asshole.
NHL network will be showing Vancouver Game 7 at 7:00 on Friday. In case you want to set the dvr or whatever.
