I’m hoping for a big game from Peeke tonight. I’m also hoping that Wotherspoon replaces Gryz or Lohrei, both even.

F**k the Habs! We have the joy of playing at Bell Centre with Lee as a ref, I can feel my blood pressure rising already. In the "words" of the immortal Andrew Ference:

I think 5-2 Bruins in this one. Montreal will get an early power play which will surprise nobody. Zacha will score at even strength followed shortly by another Montreal power play. Marchand will score short handed. Montreal will then attempt to turn it up physically leading to a couple Bruin power plays. Pasta will score on both and the win will be in hand going into the third.

Also, they will spend a lot of time trying to find a way to disallow Marchands shorty.

Remember when Guy Lafluer use to put vaseline on his mullet. Made it stick out behind him to look like he was really flying on TV. What a cherry picker. Dreamt last night Marchy gives Jack Eye a black eye.

Sadly, the rivalry is completely dormant for a number of reasons.

1. Montreal stinks.
2. The teams meet infrequently during the regular season due to the balanced schedule.
3. They haven't met in the playoffs in a decade.

It's really too bad.

Anyway, I have KoC tonight and will miss the 1st.
We'll see if I go DVR on delay or just jump right in mid game.

The Habs also have far less assholes than they used to.

All true, sadly.

However, all is not lost.......we do have BMC's post to look forward to!

great news!

I want to see why he didn't live up to his scouting report, and if he still can.

"Big, mobile defenceman with great vision and hockey sense. Possesses a hard, accurate shot, but needs to use it more. Smooth skater, but has room for improvement in his acceleration with the puck. Reads plays well in his own end and has a well-rounded understanding of the defensive game. Starting to play a gritty game, but that will take time to develop. Physical game is definitely ripening."

One game is not enough to reach any conclusions about his game or scouting report.
