Good things happened the last time it was 70 in Boston. Well not for me personally since I blacked out for the third but I'm up for the challenge it if that is what it takes.

Apparently Marc Savard is feeling well enough to be in the house for this one, according to his Twitter.

Win it for him.

Win it for Neely.

Win it for my mother, who's dying in pain I wouldn't wish on any human. While she wasn't a hockey fan herself, somehow she introduced to me to what is now my favorite sport. I wouldn't be the fan I am without her.

It can't be coincidence that "Cam Neely: The Definitive Bruin" is on NESN+ right now.

Ugh, sorry to hear that Haunted, must be really, really tough. Hopefully you can find some solace for a couple hours tonight.

thanks guys. It's less than ideal. I've also been trying to convince my brothers (who live nowhere near here) that they need to come and say goodbye.What fun.

For Neely, for Marc Savard, for Haunted, for Haunted's mother — win this. Run the Leafs out of the building. Haunted, this must be an overwhelmingly painful time for you. I hope the game brings you some moments of respite and some smiles.

T&Ps as well Haunted. That is never easy, wishing you the best.

Kuraly back in tonight, Nordstrom out. Backes still in, Kuhlman still out, which is surprising.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Let's all pick each other up and hope the team follows suit.

May she find some relief before the end, and peace wherever she goes thereafter. I’m sure she appreciates you being there for her now.

They’re stronger than we are and it’s not particularly close. I probably always suspected this intellectually, but learned it for sure when my own mother passed. You and your family are in my thoughts.

She really is insanely strong. Both hips replaced twice, extreme osteoporosis from 40+ years of prednisone (they didn’t know anything about long term effects until it was way too late for her) has left her bones more like marshmallow than bone. Any movement is excruciating and the amount of opiates she takes every 2-3 hours would kill me in a single dose.

Yet she still complained when I put the bruins on the other night and still gives me crap if I swear. Remarkably strong indeed.

I know The situation is far from unique and I hate calling attention to myself. But I appreciate everyone’s well wishes. Life can be pretty awful at the end.

Very sorry to hear that, Haunted. I really hope a Bruins victory tonight brings you a nice distraction.

Heads up to anyone heading in on 93. Sullivan Sq exit is closed because of a water main break. I know a lot of people park and ride in from there.

Win this game so we can clinch in Canada and hopefully cause mass rioting in another Canadian city.

Hangover subsiding just in time to get back on the horse at halftime pizza. Win this for Neely, Haunted’s mother, and Marc Savard

I'm sorry Haunted. All the best to you and your family.
