[BruinDust]

This game is terrifying. Bruins posting their worst offensive stretch of hockey in decades, and facing the Habs on a big stage like your 100th anniversary game.

Leo from Silver Lake Newton met Helen from Oak Square Brighton many years ago at a Bruins game. They started dating and got married. They had 2 sons 18 years apart, the second being ME.

If the Bruins never existed neither would I.

@BMC How about a 100-year-old rant? These videos should do the trick.....

Worst part is they will likely fight for wild card get in and get a crap 1st round pick

Umm, the worst case scenario is trading that 1st round pick to get in (not getting anything for our own UFAs) and theeeeeen getting booted in the 1st or 2nd round (again).

Why am I thinking about the 2016 winter classic where we were all hyped for Bruins-Habs and they just got destroyed?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Honestly the lack of hype around the league for what should be a pretty big game shows how even the big rivalries can dimmer. Montreal has been so bad for so long that even these games feel like they don't matter much anymore. Doubly so with the Bruins now seemingly joining them in the shitter.

Those games were stressful as all hell but god give me back the 2010s era of that rivalry. f***ing peak hockey..

In 1978 the Montreal anthem singer may have saved Canada



MONTREAL -- Nearly 2,000 mourners bade a tearful farewell to Roger Doucet by singing the bilingual, altered version of the national anthem which gained the former nightclub singer recognition from coast-to-coast.

Supported by her two eldest sons, Peter and Paul, Doucet's wife of 32 years, Geraldine, wiped away tears and stood erect through the 40-minute funeral service to sing out 'we stand on guard for rights and liberty,' the words Doucet added to the national anthem.

Doucet, 62, caused a national debate by replacing the anthem's repetitious 'we stand on guard for thee' in 1978 during one of his regular center-ice appearances at the opening of Montreal Canadiens hockey games.

Mrs. Doucet, who remained at her husband's side throughout his fight against a brain tumor, had substituted for Doucet in singing engagements at the Montreal Forum for the Canadiens and at the Olympic Stadium for the Montreal Alouettes.

Doucet died of a malignant tumor Sunday after lingering in a coma for six days.

Mrs. Doucet wept openly as she embraced her husband's coffin before pallbearers hoisted the casket into a waiting hearse flanked by a motorcycle police escort.

Lohrei quarterbacking the 1st PP is a step in the right direction

..and hopefully they'll get away from constantly trying to setup Pasta's sharp angle one-timer which every team is well aware of by now

Which has the accuracy of healthy food going into Oprah's big mouth.
