Is Tonight the Night?

So is tonight the night?

Is tonight the night that the curse of the President’s Trophy takes the Bruins out of the playoffs?

Is tonight the night that the team universally favored to win the Eastern Conference gets eliminated by their arch rival after previously holding a 3-2 lead in the series?

After Monday night’s suck fest, my heart and my head are in agreement. I have to say that yes it is.

If the game five Bruins show up tonight they will have a chance. If the game six Bruins show up, it’s time to start booking tee-times.

I don’t want Bruins hockey to end, but after Monday it would almost feel merciful if it ends tonight.

What the Hell was That?

The Bruins had a 3-2 lead in their 2nd round series against Montreal. How did they respond to their chance to eliminate their arch rival in game six?

They sucked.

They sucked so bad that I can’t see them winning game seven tomorrow. If that’s how you play in an elimination game, you almost don’t deserve to advance. Just put us out of our misery now.

Even the deer that’s grazing on bushes behind the house right now says the Bruins sucked last night.

Montreal scored the game winning goal less than three minutes into the first period. Pathetic.

The Series is Tied

I would like to thank the Boston Bruins for the little birthday gift they gave me last night. They beat the Canadiens in overtime to tie their second round series at two games a piece. It is pleasing to live in a world where we are tied with Montreal, instead of the alternative which was a world where we trailed Montreal three games to one.

I would also like to thank the Bruins for scoring the overtime goal very quickly and not making me stay up all night shivering in fear.

Thank you, Bruins! Now go win game five!

No Score After Two Periods

You know, the other day when I said I wanted the Bruins to stop spotting the Canadiens a two goal lead, I didn’t mean that they shouldn’t score at all themselves. After two periods in a must win game four, there is no score.

Come on, Bruins. Let’s put a few biscuits in that basket.

Dumpster Recap in Pictures

We rented a dumpster for the cellar/garage clean up. It was delivered on Friday. On Saturday morning (after using a crow bar to pry the damn door open) it looked like this:

On Saturday evening when my legs and back couldn’t take anymore and the cellar clean up was put on hold for the night it looked like this:

On Sunday afternoon when the cellar and garage were as done as they were going to get, it looked like this:

Now that the all of the storage spaces in the cellar are completely empty, the next job is to take all of the stuff that can’t be thrown away but needs to be stored some place and re-fill up all of the cellar storage spaces. After that it will be time to clean the holy hell out of the floors, walls, and ceiling, with a focus on getting rid of the dust and spider webs and making the whole place as unappealing to garter snakes as possible. Then we can look into figuring out why two of the light fixtures don’t work. If turning on the lights actually lights up the whole cellar instead of just part of it, then it will be more appealing for the family to use. There is also the question of getting cable hooked up so Robbie can watch hockey in the cellar while the kids watch on demand in the living room. The Bruins vs Montreal second round series should be starting sometime this week after all.

Much Better, Bruins

The Bruins beat the Red Wings in game two of their first round series today. That made me happy. The Red Sox are losing right now, but if that is the price we have to pay for a Bruins post season win, then so be it.

Go Bruins!

Bruins/Wings Game Two

We’re a little more than three hours away from the start of game two. The Bruins must win this game. They must win this game. No more of this 1-0 shutout loss crap. They must score early. They must score often. They must embed the Detroit players into the boards in much the same way that that damn tick embedded itself in me. They must punish the Wings for each inch of ice they try to take. They must punish the Wings for each inch of ice they try to keep us from taking.

I started reading Bobby Orr’s autobiography this morning. If that isn’t enough to inspire the Bruins in game two then nothing is.

Go Bruins!
Punish the Wings!
Make them fear you!
Go Bruins!
