It should be interesting to see if Tuukka gets the start in back to back games.

My nerves are already shot and it's 11 AM. This is going to be a brutal day
I get to relax in ~12 hours. Until then:


This must be how the strength/conditioning coach feels when a team goes to the Stanley cup finals. I'm not the product on the ice/ballot, but I help them perform well and I'm really hoping they don't fuck up and blame it on me.

3rd game in 4 nights, this game was always going to be an tall task. Seems like Julien decided it was best to make sure they secured the 2 points last night against Buffalo and start Rask.

At The Rising in Inman - they had the B's on, but switched to the election on all 6 fucking huge HDTVs. Not one of them not on CNN.

Streaming this game in a bar is the darkest hour.

Good road 1st period. Need to find a way to chip one in and play with the lead.

Not much to complain about, the Bruins are playing well. Hopefully we can get a goal or three here in the 3rd.

It's not concerning to anyone else that Rask isn't playing this game? Aren't games like these why you pay a goalie 7 million a year?
It's the 3rd game in 4 nights, and he started the previous 2. Given he's coming off injury, and we're only on the 13th game of the season, I don't think it would've been wise to play him in all 3 games.

The second guess is more at Claude. He could've started McIntyre last night against an inferior opponent, and saved Rask for tonight. I can see the reasoning of using Rask to make sure they got the 2 points last night. This game tonight was a tough task with or without Rask.
