Bad Day for the Bruins

The Bruins are getting the shit kicked out of them against the Whalers tonight. It’s just a bad day for the Bruins all around.

Bergeron is out with a head injury.

Marchand was suspended for six games for being a friggin’ idiot against Pittsburgh the other night.

Tuukka Rask put an end to his comeback attempt and called it a career.

And now they are getting spanked like a naughty kid in a movie about some Victorian era orphanage.

Yeah, it’s a bad day for the Bruins.

I Really Am Bad Luck

It happens so often that I can’t believe I fall for it.

I put the Bruins on the TV and immediately they cough up the lead. It just happened again. I checked the score and they were up 2-0 over Pittsburgh. I do something else for a little while and, without me knowing it, Pittsburgh tied the game at 2. I bring up nesngo.nesn.com/ on the internet browser of my choice and BAM! Immediately Pittsburgh scores to take the lead.

Damn it! Why am I such a bad luck charm for the Bruins?? Why??

The Winter Classic at Fenway Park 2: The Reckoning

It was announced today that the 2023 NHL Winter Classic will be held at Fenway Park… again. Fenway Park was the home of the game in 2010 when the Bruins beat the Flyers 2-1 on a legendary (to Bruins fans at least) overtime goal by Marco Sturm. Massachusetts also hosted the Winter Classic one other time, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, but we won’t be talking about that shit of a game.

I will watch the game if I can. January 1st… we may be in Disney World, though that probably won’t happen until a couple of days later? I wonder if we’ll be on a plane. Hmmmmm. If we are visiting The Mouse, maybe I will watch the game from the hotel room (he said kiddingly).

The tweet doesn’t say who we’ll be playing, but given that the guy who owns the Red Sox and Fenway Park now owns the Pittsburgh Penguins, how much do you wanna bet we will play the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Bruins Nerves

The Bruins have a 2-1 lead over Arizona, four minutes into the third period.

That’s good, right?

Sort of. I mean sure being in the lead is good and all. It’s Arizona though. They are barely an NHL team. The Bruins should be up by 10 by now.

Back on the power play. Can we pad this lead a little, guys?

I Didn’t Jinx Them!

The Bruins won! I didn’t jinx them into a loss!

Charlie McAvoy scored the game winner with 45 seconds left in regulation and I didn’t jinx it by watching the scoreboard on the NHL app!

Thank the hockey gods!

I am Bad Luck Again

It happens so often. I’m doing something and I put on a Bruins game and they immediately give up a goal. More often than not they give up the lead as well.

Tonight Jen and I had dinner, chicken and quinoa and roasted green beans, and then watched an episode of Cobra Kai. After that we had a watch party with Harry to see the new episode of The Book of Boba Fett. I approve of the episode in general but I am kinda done with the two time period stuff. I know how he escaped I know how he survived, now I just want to see The Sopranos in Space… except for the scooter kids. I’m done with them too.

What was I talking about?

Oh yeah, The Bruins. So after the watch party Jen went to the office to play some Warcraft and kill some bad guys. I retired to the bed room to put away some laundry and watch episode seven of Yellowjackets (WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??). I opened up the NHL app on my phone and brought up the game cast (or whatever they call it) and saw the Bruins had a 2-1 lead over the Capitals. Awesome. As soon as the superlative formed in my tiny little brain the screen refreshed and Washington had tied the game at two.

Damn it.

Come on, Bruins. Let’s turn this around.

The Bruins Win Again

The Bruins have won six of seven games since the Covid/holiday break.

We are still in the final East playoff spot, but doesn’t it just feel good to win again?

Next game is Tuesday against the Metropolitan leading Hurricanes/Whalers. That should be fun.

Keep up the good work, Bruins
