Happy belated!!

CJ, glad to hear trip went so well! Me: did some touring in Montreal, including an awesome Chihuly exhibit at the Fine Arts Museum. Visited several fun areas, and went to a store that sold Stax and Senn gear, only to find it was closed (Facebook page said it would be open 12-5, maybe summer hours). Should catch some free music at the Jazz Festival tonight, for now just relaxing a bit.... Nice city!

I read about that, hadn't seen it yet. Much love for Chicago! They also posted an amazing page after the marathon bombings, proclaiming they were the Chicago Celtics, Chicago Bruins, Chicago Patriots, and Chicago Red Sox. There's a good parallel between the cities' hockey teams. Owners who were stingy, and the teams didn't go too far too often (Chicago had it much worse IMO). But then I believe the sons got involved, and some of the pride and true desire to win came back. Now, both teams are perennial contenders, and just put on one of the objectively best series in recent memory. Even though Jeremy Jacobs is still the owner and mainly in control in Boston, his son Charlie's involvement heralded a slight attitude adjustment. Between that and the salary cap so apparently desired, hockey became a priority again in Boston. The attitude before our GM Peter Chiarelli was hired was one of "putting out a competitive team." I don't think we as fans EVER heard the phrase "we want the cup." So thanks to Chicago, to the team and ownership, and looking forward to next season!

Congrats Steve, sounds like things are really snapping into place well! And Mike, echo what Nate said. We can all share a little bit of your pride!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Lamborghini on its way! Just waiting on one other to finish with it......

x2. I have found that I like his cables a lot, though at used prices only. He/they should stick to that IMO.

It took me 5 full seconds to realize you weren't talking about ears....

Crap, sorry to hear, for many reasons including affording Doug's amp....hope it doesn't happen.

I had my doubts Bruins would win if it went back to Chicago, but DAMN I wanted it to go back to Chicago! Late choke sucks, but hats off to the Hawks, a helluva team! If we were going to lose, it's much easier to lose to them. Some questions will certainly be asked in the off-season.....some players had bad seasons and post-seasons.......

Happy belated from here, too! Hope it was great!

I totally forgot that song! RIP....

RIP Slim....sold more records than Elvis, he did....at least according to the commercial

Read, repeat. Happy Anniversary!

I think he's doing the suffering artist thing....his food tastes best if he suffers while cooking it. But heal well, Jacob!

I haz a fucking sad..... Yeah, down 3-2. We won the last two home/away in 2011, but Chicago is just playing real well. Hoping Bergeron is OK, having lost Campbell was a surprisingly big hit to our bottom 6. If Bergeron can't play it's just as big, if not bigger, hit to our top 6. And, not sure of what's going on with Toews, but hope he's OK too. I like how Julien split up Chara and Seidenberg as well, they were being out-matched in speed by Chicago. Things seemed to settle a bit more when that happened. Back to Boston, but momentum definitely Chicago's now....still, Go Bruins!

Good news on lack of further damage, Shelly. And good luck with the new PT!

Have been reading that Carl Soderberg (aka the Yeti) may be playing for our 4th line. Good talent, but hadn't played much NHL at all (a few games before playoffs, after coming over from SEL). Hoping he is a surprise success! He didn't look bad in the games he played, but it was very clear he was not used to the NHL (rink size, game speed and physicality). But it seems he has some good skills.

"It's Super" End of Doc.....and off to the surf

Enjoy CJ and Dan!

Kimball Farm? Sounds like a grand time!

B's lost in Vancouver for game 5, won at home, then shut down Vancouver for game 7 back in 2011. At worst, hoping for a repeat of that. At best, a win in Chicago and then at home, raising the cup in front of the Boston fans!!

Grumble, grumble....yeah, Gene is right.... B's defense looked ugly tonight, but credit Hawks for pressuring....

That was the type of game I love! Good team game by the Bruins. And Paille with his second game-winner of the series! Funny video (audio) of Saturday night's goal in OT, Seguin is screaming like a schoolgirl. http://sunbelthockey.com/has-tyler-seguin-hit-puberty-yet/
