Super Terrific Happy Hour!

I'm honestly so pumped for all the true Bruins fans out there.  I'm not one, but can absolutely understand how they feel.  I remember how it felt when the Sox won in '04, making all the crap that fans had put up with for so long a distant memory.  Thankfully, for me, it didn't have to go seven games, but it didn't really matter.  I watched the game with my Dad and even though they were up 3-0 in the ninth, he started to lose it when the Cardinals got one guy on in the ninth.  He didn't want any craziness, just an end to the game and an end to the "1918" chants.  A majority of Bruins fans either weren't alive the last time the Bruins won the cup, were very young, or lived through it and deserve another chance to see it and live through the excitement.

So, for all the true Bruins fans out there, enjoy it, embrace it, and I really hope they bring the cup back to Boston for you.

Bruins Fan Songs

A few fan-created Bruins tunes to get you fired up.  Some are better than others, but we'll try to get a slow burn going today.

Public Service Announcement - GET TO THE BARS EARLY!

Apparently, the city of Boston is not only putting the kibosh on a Bruins viewing party at The Garden tonight, but also putting in some last minute rules for the bars tonight.  Bars have to black out their windows so no one watches from the streets and they can't let anyone into the bar after the second period.  

So, go out early, drink often, don't riot, and get the MOJO GOING!

Looking Good Roberto! Feeling good Alain!

I don't remember, in my lifetime of watching sports, someone who talked this much trash and not only didn't back it up, but looked SO bad that he had to get yanked from a game.  I mean, this was unreal!  Three goals on eight shots, with the first two shots being must stops.  I wonder if those would have been easy saves for Thomas?  Just sayin'.  Have their been two more hateable characters than LeBron James and Roberto Luongo so close together and performing so inconsistently on the big stage?

Anyway, now it's a one game playoff for the Stanley Cup.  The Bruins have scored two goals in three games against Luongo in Vancouver, so they have to prove they can take one on the road.  This is going to be the first game seven for the Bruins in the Stanley Cup.  Considering they are an original six team, that's saying something.  I honestly have no idea what to expect, but they need to be aggressive from the drop and man, if they could ever score first, I may have Bruins Perma Wood.

Crush This Miserable F*ck

On the lone goal in game 5 and the difficulty in making a save on that type of bounce/shot:

"It's not hard if you're playing in the paint," said Luongo. "It's an easy save for me, but if you're wandering out and aggressive like he does, that's going to happen. He might make some saves that I won't, but in a case like that, we want to take advantage of a bounce like that and make sure we're in a good position to bury those."

F*CK YOU, BRO.

Look, I know the quote his been dissected and over-analyzed by everyone at this point, but on what planet is this a smart thing to say about a goalie who has clearly outplayed you in the Stanley Cup Finals?  I mean, I know he probably had one foot out the door on the way to a techno club, but you have got to be kidding me.

Look at that suse's ugly f*cking face.  He said waht he did because he is clearly jealous of the press Thomas is getting for his outstanding play.  Guess what?  Thomas wouldn't be getting praised if he had given up 12 goals in two games.

Then, when asked about his dumb ass comments the next day, he comes up with this gem:

Claude Julien and Tim Thomas have had perfect responses for all of Luongo's insecure whining.  At this point of the Stanley Cup Finals, should a Vezina Trophy Finalist really need this type of massaging?  

Two things are clear to me:

1.  This dude loves to roofie chicks at techno clubs

2.  This guy needs a serious confidence boost, maybe a life coach or something.  I bet he would love to be part of a flash mob.

Lunchtime Look-a-Like

In honor of Mike Millbury absolutely CRUSHING the Canucks and specifically the Sedin twins during the broadcast last night, I thought we would us his idea for the "Lunchtime Look-a-Like."

These dudes are straight up creepy.  You know they pull the old switcharoo on their hockey bimbos all the time.  They probably still dress alike and share underwear, really creepy stuff.  Now, while I get the insult, and I have never actually seen the movie "Thelma & Louise," weren't they supposed to be badass?  Like, didn't they rob banks and bang young dudes, and drive off a cliff rather than go to jail?

The Sedin twins are the exact opposite of that.  They haven't brought anything to the table and hopefully it stays that way, especially with this guy manning the net:

PS:  B's, Let's keep going!

In the Words of KC Jones, "YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!"

Bruin Beatdown of the Canucks Makes it a Series

Obviously, everyone was debating activating Shawn Thornton and sitting Tyler Seguin because the thought was the Bs needed more offense.  Well, it turns out, Thornton was just what they needed.  He didn't have a single point, but clearly made the Canucks uncomfortable and seems to have set a tone for the Bs before they even stepped on the ice.  The dirty hit on Horton really opened the floodgates.

Overall, it was an amazing performance by the Bruins and it will be really interesting to see what happens in game 4.  Best hit of the night?  Thomas crushing Henrik Sedin and his fivehead in the third.  Now, Seguin will be activated for Horton and we'll have to see how the disciplinary hearing shakes out for Rome to see if the Canucks will be down a defenseman.

Never Thought I'd Say It....

Top 5 Reasons Why I Like Hockey

1. Toothless men who just don't care. As long as this sport exists, dentists will be making bank!

2. Canadians acting tough because we all know that's just not their nature!
3. Organ music---did anyone hear "If You're Happy and You Know it" playing in the second period tonight? That really sets the mood for the boxing on skates that may ensue at any moment.
4. Mullets and 1970's/80's style facial hair! Tim Thomas, in particular, looked like he spent a little extra time on his 'stache tonight. From the locker room footage prior to face-off,  it looked like he may have been going for a handlebar look, but I can't find a picture of it yet.
5. Fights erupting for absolutely NO reason besides the fact that they CAN. 

*Side note: Can anyone imagine Mike Tyson on skates? I think he'd be a valuable asset to any NHL team....for a few reasons: Besides his obvious size and stremf', he enjoys biting (which apparently happened during the B's game tonight) and he doesn't  really seem to care about his teeth....

GO BRUINS!

Humpday Holla-back

In honor of the Bruins taking on the Canucks in game one of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight, we thought we would bring you a Humpday Holla-back from 1990, the last time the Bs were in the finals.  You know what 1990 means?  That's right.  Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em!

Tuesday Trivia...

Well, 2011 has been rough for New England sports fans thus far:

*The Patriots, led by Tinseltown Tommy, were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round. Some were surprised, I was not. Click here if you don't know why I feel this way.....

*A well oiled machine until mid February, The Celtics were dismantled at the hands of  their leader, Danny Ainge and then bounced in Round 2 of the playoffs.

*The Red Sox got off to a horrific start, but have started to recover nicely and their fans will remain cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the season.

What does this have to do with "Tuesday Trivia", you ask? Well, I'm curious, what has this woman been doing since the Celtics were eliminated?

JUST KIDDING! Well, kind of, I do wonder what's she up to, but my trivia concerns The Boston Bruins. The Bruins have been the one bright spot for New England fans as far as playoff performances are concerned. As you already know (unless you are Amish), the Bruins took care of business and are headed to the NHL Finals to compete for the Stanley Cup against the Vancouver Schmucks, oops, I mean, Canucks.

This brings me to the trivia for today. I, for one, do not know much about hockey and I've always wondered:

1. Who exactly is this "Lord Stanley" I keep hearing about?
2. What is the back story behind the "Stanley Cup"?

This IS a picture of the Stanley Cup, but it is NOT a picture of Lord Stanley!

So, I've done a little research and found a great blog that answers all of my questions and gives even more information! So, check out "The Lucky Puck Hockey Blog" and read the post. Yes, you have to link over to the blog to get the answers! It's well worth it, it's very informative, interesting, and I'm loving the name of the blog!

Let's Go Bruins!

Bruins - Habs Game Seven Preview

OK, I've broken down all the film, called all my sources in the Bruins organization and I think it all comes down to this...

If the Bruins score more goals than the Habs by the end of the third period OR score first in overtime, they should win the series.  People, you normally have to pay for analysis like that.  You're welcome.

To all you real hockey fans out there, enjoy the game and stay away from the Tobin Bridge if they lose.

America, F*CK YEAH!

I'm not a hockey guy, but I'll watch playoff hockey and anytime you can make French Canadians go home unhappy, you have to do it.  Also, whenever you can flip all those people off after scoring a goal, you have to do that too.  I just wish he didn't say his glove got stuck and just said, "Yup, I flipped all those fuckers off."

Dial it up for freedom, bitches...

Tuesday Trivia...

 If you're like me, you're not well versed in matters pertaining to the NHL. However, since Mr. KC Jones enjoys hockey, I have found myself watching it more and more over the past three years. Now that the Bruins are facing the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs, I've been wondering about why they are sometimes referred to as the "Habs". Seriously, what is the connection and what could that POSSIBLY mean? So, on this dreary Tuesday afternoon, I'd like to drop some knowledge on you. If you are wondering what this means and/or how it came about, click on the following link. I know I'll sleep more soundly tonight.
