Sweet, I have tickets to their first playoff game against the Ice Dogs. I'll have to keep an eye on him.

Amazing story and a more amazing man. I feel so happy inside to know he's gonna be ok. I guess I could relate with some of it, especially the drinking and depression as alcohol is in fact a depressant. I'm still crying like a baby, here in the house along as Michele left a couple days ago to visit her brother in Cole Harbour. But this really touched me, it really did...God Bless you Clint and One Day at a Time brother.

Yes Felger, shut your fat fucking flap. You could not have been more wrong...not that he's ever right about much anyway, from what I understand. nesn.com/2018/03/bruins-roast-radio-host-after-he-doubted-teams-youth-earlier-in-season/I don't listen to this moron, or anyone like him as the majority of the time, they have no clue and just like to hear themselves pontificate. And the fact that he is absolutely eating shit on this one does my heart good.

Yeah, THN certainly don't shine like it used to. Back in the days before the interweb, it was a bible. I subscribed back when I was about 13/14 years old and devoured every page when it came in. Now, maybe because there's so many teams it seems that coverage for anyones favourite team is minimal. They still have some good articles, but you can get everything online now. Sorta renders it out of date before it hits your mailbox.

Never heard of him ...but with the handle Flip maybe he should be reporting Gymnastics.. I'm not defending the guy and it's nice to have a lot of theses turds eat crow but who here among us could have predicted this kind of season. We have six full time rookies in the line-up and a bunch of other rookies who have filled in throughout the season. We had an unproven coach going into the season. Honestly youth spells mistakes and long learning curves. We lost a veteran 4th line center over the summer and our big add was Paul Postma. I remember calling a year of being a bubble team and squeaking in the back door as best case scenario. Fast forward to the present and Butch looks like one of the best coaches in the league, our game plan is solid and the boys play hard for him. Our leadership group is great Chara, Bergeron, Backes and Krejci keep the team playing like a team, not an easy task considering the ton of kids. The play of McAvoy, Grz, Debrusk and Heinen reminds me of guys who have 6 or 7 years in the league. We all know the sky is the limit for Donato as well but because he just got here I kind of left him for last. We have the talent, the game plan, the hunger and the last thing we need is the health for a long run.

What I just posted on Facebook. Stole the first sentence from NESN: Down their top three defensemen, their first-line center, two-thirds of their second line, and their alternate captain, the Bruins arrived in Dallas on Thursday morning as the third team in the National Hockey League to clinch a postseason berth. Bergeron, Chara, McAvoy, Backes, Krug, Rick Nash.. But all should be good to go for the Playoffs{hopefully}. Whether it's Boston, Montreal , Toronto etc...NO TEAM should have to play every 2nd night for TWO MONTHS and then begin playoffs. This is solely the reason for all the injuries. Bruins had to do same thing last season and they had a vast majority of their team injured and never played in the playoffs..Why should any team have an advantage , besides home ice advantage when playoffs begin. Bruins were dead last all season in games played, always 5/6 games less than alot of teams including the Leafs who might be their 1st round opponent. This is what I want: A NEW RULE, BY MARCH 1ST, NO TEAM SHALL BE NO MORE THAN 2 GAMES BEHIND ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE SCHEDULE. That way, when playoffs begin, every team is on an even keel.. Buttman and the league has to cut out this crap and treat every team equal..And that's not asking for very much!! Great idea....never happen though. Too many factors to deal with. Like the TD Garden. They have the Celtics, Concerts, NCAA Basketball, NCAA Hockey, Beanpot tourney, WWE, Circus... The Bell Center has the Canadiens and concerts. Most teams play 15 games this month. Boston plays 17. Florida plays 17. Ottawa plays 17. Pittsburg plays 15 but they have 3 back to backs and Boston has none. They play 82 games in 185 days....all teams do. They all have 4 or 5 days off before the playoffs start. All teams go through injuries. I really think it has nothing to do with the schedule.

The Owners hand the NHL available dates for the schedule then the NHL draws up the schedule and the owners sign off on it ..Thank your greedy owner..

Pretty much agree I had the team in a transition year with the hope for playoffs, didn’t look promising early but the Kids and Dobby got us rolling and the rest is history..I really think Butch deserves a ton of credit he has exceeded all my expectations coming in ..

Christ you learn something new every day. I dont understand why it's so difficult to realize that Boston was legging behind in games last season before playoffs and had a pile of injuries that likely cost them the series against Ottawa. They were 31st ALL SEASON in games played. Playing extra games in Oct-Dec is alot better than playing them Mar-Apr..True story!!! You may not have noticed but the Leafs had 5/6 games more played than the Bruins all year and right up to the end of Feb or early Mar. And your telling me it dont make a difference. Tell it to someone else who might believe it. Why is it this NEVER happens to Montreal, Toronto other teams?? Why did Celtics have 6 games in hand on the Raptors awhile ago?? We have a fucking mess of injuries, more than last season but same problem but I'm a friggin idiot for wondering why!!

No no, you should thank Jacobs. The Bruins schedule is perfect. Not a fan of the schedule or the owner .. Same here buddie.. Seeing what happened last season's playoffs with all the injuries and this year being far worst is concerning to say the least. Now our top line playing 20-21 minutes each, when will one of them get hurt? It's very frustrating. Common sense tell you if this was November and they had extra games, woopee, no big deal. But seeing the Bruins all season being 31st in games played. sometimes they would catch Florida but that was about it. This never happens to certain teams. I very much doubt we beat the Leafs in the playoffs. They were the team that Bruins had more games on than any other team. They're well rested, have Matthews back. Their only downfall is defense and Anderson being as tired as all the Bruins!

Most of our Players have minor injuries aside from Mac and Debrusk and I think both will be ready for post season, this is the best way to force Chara to rest he will return shortly and be better for it ..

So Backes got cut because he was tired from all the games recently. McAvoy got hurt because he was too tired...please. Give me a friggen break.

Goals live on the other side of obstacles and challenges. Be relentless in pursuit of those goals, especially in the face of those obstacles. Along the way, make no excuses and place no blame.

Goals live on the other side of obstacles and challenges. Be relentless in pursuit of those goals, especially in the face of those obstacles. Along the way, make no excuses and place no blame. Ray Bourque I love Ray Bourque and that's a great quote. Players playing the game run on talent, emotion and drive. Injuries are never an excuse for a player that's playing a team game, it's always next man up and carry on. As a fan I look at the Bruins and their success as a bit of a math problem. When Ray was playing he could have all the goals/dreams he wanted but losing Cam Neely to injury and sliding Dave Christian in his spot to fill his shoes is more an obstacle that even Ray can overcome. If Cam is a 10 and Christan is a 5 or a 6 then the successes will be reflected accordingly. Just the same as if we went into the playoffs without Z or Bergie. With that said, there's nothing you can do about it, players trudge on and say words like "opportunity to step up" and fans like me whine and say "we're screwed".

You mean complaining about the refs like you did here: I am tired of this bullshit. They need to figure out what penalties are again. Read more: beantownsports.proboards.com/user/174/recent#ixzz5Agi52w8A----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That non call was definitely a Marchand influenced call. Total BS. Read more: beantownsports.proboards.com/user/174/recent#ixzz5Agi52w8A------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will admit you don't complain alot about the refereeing but we all do sometimes, others more than some, me included. The most you seem to complain about is when I post something I dont agree with. But that's ok, thats your right. But why is it only me?? While I was looking for places where you complained about the refs, I noticed that. Every other disagreement was with me, you never seem to argue the point someone else makes. Why is that? I'm not a bandwagon fan who came on the scene last season..Like you seabass, I've been around awhile. I mightn't know much about anything else, {Women I will never understand..EXCEPT offwego}, but I damn well know my Bruins and I'll go head to head with anyone. You dont agree with majority of my posts, that's fine, no one else seems to have much of a problem.. This still is a Bruin board, we have a right to complain if we think the Bruins are being treated unfairly, even I have that right.

Couple games back one of the announcers were saying B's will NOT have 2 consecutive days off till playoffs!!!! That's been going on for quite awhile now. Look, if this happened to a different team every year, well at least it would be fair. But Bruins seem to always be the team with games in hand this time of year. I cant remember the last time I was concerned over Montreal, Pittsburgh, Rangers etc...having games in hand on the Bruins. We're always complaining cause it seems that the Bruins always get the crappy end of the stick. Not only me, 90% of us do. Well all this is, is just another way they're getting screwed. Believe me, now I'm damn well tired of talking about the schedule. In fact, I'm tired of talking about everything!!
