don’t want to mess with much since it’s been a good 2 games but would like to see a Frederic - Lazar - Kuhlman 4th line

Give Hall the game puck.

Watching Rask after watching Vladar and Swayman reminds us how good Rask is. He’s economical in his movements and lets the game come to him.

74% x GF at even strength tonight. Has to be their highest mark of the year. Against a team that has the 3rd highest xGF% in the league this season

Super encouraging

By comparing the two I did something bad, never in my wildest dreams did I think this end game would result in you all over me. Everything has changed, but we are not out of the woods yet. The situation is delicate, but I am ready for it.
Look what you made him do.

6 periods ago the Bruins had just lost 8-1 to the Capitals and I thought this team had absolutely no shot to go anywhere. A 2nd, a 3rd and Anders Bjork made this team a clear contender and I have done a complete 180 in the 2 game-hours since.

Yup, and the breakdown is even more so. 50-35 Corsi, 32-12 scoring chances, 9-0 high-danger.

Simply a great effort on both ends of the ice. Hope they can keep it up.

That would be the Anders Bjork who went 1G 1A +2 in a Buffalo win overt Washington last night. (This is a thank you, not a complaint about the trade.)

Cause I never went to games a lot when I was a kid. We also got there just in time for the games as we often were doing other sightseeing in the city right before and after. Under the age of 18, I attended 2 red sox games and no other sports. We lived pretty far up in ME. So never had much of an opportunity to get a ball/puck.

And it would have been cool (as an adult) to have a piece of the game that was actually used as a souvenir. I'd be sated once I had one puck and one baseball.

Nowadays, I would want one to give to my little one to have.

It would be cool to get a puck. That said, I've reached the age where I'd probably have to give it to a kid sitting in my section but, if I'm being honest with myself, I wouldn't be thrilled about it.

Between here and everywhere.

3-4 years ago I went to a Toledo Mudhens game and sat 2-3 rows behind the dugout. I've never caught a foul ball/homerun before. Never even close. I was sort of drunkenly heckling the 3B from whoever the Mudhens were playing, and after warmups he threw me a ball. The amount of joy and pride I had to swallow to hand it to the 6 year old kid sitting with his dad a couple rows back still haunts me to this day.

I really wanted to save that ball.

right here
We've had 2 pucks come up to us during warmups - one landed on my right shoulder and the other landed on the back of her seat as she was bent down grabbing something from her purse. The first no one was around so we kept, the second we tossed to a kid. I caught a BP HR from Manny in Tampa back in 2003 I think it was when they opened the year down there. Those are my brushes with puck/foul balls.
