Boston wants Auston v.4.
10pm start tonight in Colorado. Bruins haven't gone 0-4 since 1964 or something.
Let's keep it that way.

I'd make a political joke, but there is literally not a single player on the Bruins roster that is eligible to run for president.

Yesterday I signed an NHL contract with the @NHLBruins. It was an experience I will never forget! To have my immediate family there meant the world to me (missed u Liv). It was special having Bruins GM, Don Sweeney, who back when I was a stick boy for the Maine Mariners in the 90s, was one of the players I would run around the locker room grabbing hockey tape or drinks for, be the one to sign me. It was special having the legendary Cam Neely also join in.
Before Cam and Don came into the room for the signing, I noticed they did in fact have a #24 Bruins jersey prepared for me. I couldn't help but ask the Bruins representative that was with me, if this had been cleared by Terry O'Reilly, as I very well knew that Terry O'Reilly's #24 had already been retired to the rafters. Three minutes later the Bruins representative had me on the phone with Terry O'Reilly himself. Terry told me he was "honored" to have me be a part of the Bruins and share the #24. How Cool Was That!
Prior to dropping the puck I got to hang out with Coach Parker, my dad, and even spent some time with the legendary René Rancourt. He joked to me that I would be the one to sing the Canadian national anthem, I laughed, but I was thinking my buddy Tony McNaboe would be drooling to go out and do a duet with Rene.
With everything that happened yesterday though, the single best moment was rolling out onto the ice and feeling the energy from the crowd. I've done a lot of neat things and been to a lot of great sporting events, and recognized at the Garden in the past, but yesterday afternoon that crowd was loud! It was a moment I can't quite describe.
After the game was over my cousin asked me what I was feeling when I started rolling out onto the ice. He asked if I felt "adrenaline or was nervous". I told him what I felt most was loved, so much love.
I know a lot of people have been following my story for a lot of years now, and I just can't help but hope they know just how much I appreciate them. I’m so grateful for their love and support, for helping me deal with my injury and with the work we do through the Travis Roy Foundation. If you are one of those people that is reading this post now, I thank you!
I also want to thank the Bruins Organization for all they did yesterday, for our October 20 Gala, for what they've done over the years for the TRF, and for what they've done for other spinal cord injured survivors around New England.

Defense Pairs:
Chara—K. Miller
Krug—McQuaid
Trotman—C. Miller
Cross
...wish they'd bench K. Miller, play C. Miller with Cross, and play Trotman with Chara.

Will be in the house at the Pepsi Centre for my 1st ever NHL game! I am pumped and jacked! Either they'll win, or they can march closer to the draft lottery!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let them fight if they can do nothing else.cshea said:
Good for Cross.
I don't know where I am as a fan right now. I am so blown away by how terrible they have played; the sheer panic under pressure, the disinterested goaltending, it's all so... unsettling. Maybe the road will be good for them.
Enjoy! Last spring was my first in person game, in Phoenix. Greatest sporting event I have ever been to in person. Hockey is the best.Jake Peavy's Demons said:

I'm not getting fooled by a strong first again, but it was nice to see that someone let Jimmy Hayes know that the season started. He was buzzing in that period.
Kevan Miller had +7 Corsi. One of his best periods.
Hayes had 3 shots in the period. Only had 1 shot combined in the opening 3 games.

Even McQuaid looks good. Maybe they should smuggle some of that sweet Colorado grass out of the state with them.
Absolutely dominant 2 periods.
This looks like a different team. Maybe they just needed to get on the road.

Chara looks like a different player than he did at the end of last season, and that's a good thing. Hope he keeps it up.
I do have two questions, though, for those who know more than me.
1) Chara seems to take an inordinate number of shots that are deliberately wide of the net. i can't remember one ever turning directly into a goal. Is this a tactics he uses to set up other players as it happens, or do you guys think it is something he does when he doesn't have a clear shooting lane to put it in the goalie's head in the hopes that he can get him to react slower later?
2) Pasta is obviously really, really talented. However, I have seen him multiple times a game away from the puck end up in the exact same spot of ice as one of his teammates? Does it seem like this is him needing to make adjustments, or his teammates still learning to adjust to him?
