[Sheppy]

5-2 Tampa.

More "I don't knows" after the game from the players and coach.

 

[TCB]

The Moms pre-game warm-up

 

[Terrier]

Let's go B's!! Mrs. Marchand will propel us to victory.

 

[Ladyfan]

OK Bs...Don't disappoint your Moms!

Hey Steve, I hope the Bruins win tonight.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[BMC]

TB is just going to massacre them

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[TD Charlie]

Nah. I think I'll pass.

 

[caz16]

They always play better when their mothers are watching. Let's hope that continues!

 

[Thirty Seven]

Yeah.. I don't know.

I think its like a 57 goal differential +/_ Bruins are a -24 Bolts are a +33

 

[Alicat]

Same record as the Bruins and people are acting like they are the best team in the damn league.

Tampa still being in people's heads is just sad at this point.

 

[lopey]

My eyes. This background is killing my eyes!

 

[BMC]

My eyes. This background is killing my eyes!

Mine too.

If Swayman plays like he did the other night I give us a good chance to win tonight. Its only a matter of time the puck starts to bounce our way.

5-3 B's

Well this team has been massacred by the lowly Blue Jackets twice this season. I don’t think it’s Tampa that’s in anyone’s head but rather the Bruins and their uninspired play of late.

 

[Aeroforce]

The mom's are awesome, win or lose.

It's interesting that the sons resemble their mothers not only in physical appearance, but in their mannerisms.

Good on Justin Brazeau and Parker Wotherspoon, being so close to their moms.

 

[lopey]

Mine is just grey....too bright? Just curious!

Its white now. It was grey lol

 

[mjhfb]

Mom's watching. Hope they motivate them. When I was a midget my linemate played a bad game and his mom told him to get his own ride home. Times are different now.

 

[TCB]

5-3 B's

Sure as long as the rest of the team doesn't play the way they played the other night.

I have a meeting and then will probably throw the football game on when I get home.

Could be a good one to watch as background noise on DVR tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Live look in at blitzkrug after he realizes there's another Bruins game to watch.

In somewhat related news I've discovered a thread on reddit with the best still images/shots from the Simpsons and it is infinitely more entertaining than this team has been

The Bruins just do not have a good record against playoff teams. Hopefully they get the W for the moms
