Last night’s injury was knee.

 

[GoBs]

Greer played a great game last night
Really worked the corners on the Lauko first goal

I can’t speak for anyone else but I’m concerned about the playoffs . I’m trying to keep an even keel. Any logical Bruins fan has to realize strange things can happen in the playoffs.

Logical people don't give undue importance to irrational fears. Yes, strange things can happen in the playoffs, but logic says they're no more likely to happen to the Bruins than any other team.

Things one might be logically concerned about:
1) The team peaking too soon or not being able to sustain its momentum through the playoffs
2) Current injuries to Foligno and Hall hurting the team, even with the addition of Bertuzzi
3) Ullmark's relative lack of playoff experience

But even so, one can also make logical counter-arguments to all these concerns.

1) The experience and leadership on this team will keep them focused on playing in the moment
2) Without knowing the extent of the injuries, there's still plenty of time before the POs. One or both could be back by then, or sometime in the 1st/2nd round at least. Still a very deep team at forward, even with their absences.
3) Seriously? The dude is playing elite, Vezina-calibre goaltending. The likelihood is that he will continue to play like that, plus look at the D squad in front of him now.

You could make the argument that the Bruins biggest problem in the post season has been health. Too many times the core was on life support and the D was thin. To Sweeney's credit, he's tried to address the depth issue, almost planning for it to happen. Hope not...

Win Saturday’s game, take 4 full days plus off, rest, then come back and start managing the guys for a deep playoff run. Going to be fun!!!!

Already is!

 

[Carl Hungus]

Lauko doesn't sound like a guy who wants to be traded

I hope he gets to stay in the lineup this time.....the kid has some serious wheels and might be a good addition for the playoff run

Agree - feels like he brings a jolt of energy every time he steps on the ice. great skater

Hmmm...with all wheel or 4 wheel drive do you even need snow tires? I've always had regular tires and never had an issue in the snow.

Snow tires would definitely help with the braking in the snow, but usually are worse on clear/wet roads.

4 wheel drive gives you more traction to get moving, but doesn't add to braking power. Only better tires can help that.

I like to use All-Weather tires which are a bit better than All-Seasons in snow, but aren't as bad on clear/wet roads as snow tires. I'd only get snow tires if I lived somewhere that the roads were always covered in snow.

I can build you a house while writing and recording you a song.....not easy to do , but some people have the passion to do it. And I am one of them. Cheers Anything Bruin

Can you build a guitar? I've built a couple amps, and someday hope to build a guitar.

I finally realize that the good lord put me on this earth to have this passion and love for some reason. After my brother died 3 years this March 17....my life changed. Im starting a music foundation in his name. The rest will all fall in place. I love when someone tells me you can't do something in life....lol This passion is equal to the passion I have for this Bruins team.....for 54 years.

Do you play out anywhere in New englnd?

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I love having seasons. I can't imagine living somewhere where it's just the same weather over and over again. I would go mad.

I love my snow!

Could not agree more.

The only down month for me is November, that's when we usually migrate to Florida or Thailand or whatever south and warm for 2 weeks.

Last night’s injury was knee.

Yeah...we thought it was his knee.

Plenty of people build guitars. Lots of kits out there, from beginner to advanced.

 

[Concessionaire]

That was the dumbest thing they could of possibly done in my opinion . People were so amped they were in the final and since they swept Carolina people didn't want to wait to see the team . Having that open scrimmage really screwed things up.

The fans were hyped for sure, but the bigger problem was that the Bs were going to have 10 freakin' days between games. They actually got punished for completing the sweep, and there was a lot of concern that the Bruins were going to be ice cold going into the Final. The scrimmage was a way to try to keep the team from completely losing their momentum.

The Bs ended their series against Carolina on May 16.
The Blues finished their 6 game series against the Sharks on May 21.
The first game of the Finals was on May 27.

The Blues got the perfect amount of rest and the Bs got screwed.

I mean from scratch, not from a kit.

 

[jgatie]

Sure. Brian May and his dad did it.

 

[BourqueFromORRk4277]

Sure. Brian May and his dad did it.

Are you telling me that the poster I asked if he was able to build a guitar, LordStanley, is Brian May, or his dad?
That would be amazing.

 

[Lordstanley]

Strictly studio recording....moving from mass back into nh as I write this. Step one. Then design and build my studio. Step two ......start podcast , build a Youtube channel and get my music out on some platforms. My brothers played out for many years. I don't have that time anymore.

Ask him a question about astrophysics. If he gives the correct answer, it may be him!

My dad was a carpenter, and I used to work for him during the summers growing up, so I have some skill in that area, but guitar necks are kind of intimidating. Just the precision needed, especially without a proper workshop, and tools. Good for your brother.

I would not even attempt to try to sing like Freddie.
