Happy Jack is funny Jack, and winning means more funny Jack. Win tonight.

Edit: Or Thursday. Whenever.

I deleted your other thread, All-Thumbs.

[The Four Peters]

I was wondering what the hell was going on.

Lead us to victory, MoGator.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Not going down 3-0 is good. Winning the series is better, so let's do that. Lead on MoGator.

[Spaulding Smails]

Repeat 1st period of game 3 performance for 60 minutes.

Close your legs Thimas.

That is all.

[MoGator71]

While looking for funny Jack shit I found this:



"Fuckin right I did!"

I'd have bet you money that if one of those 2 were to let a swear slip it would be Jack a dozen times before Brick. Like last night..."Get up!!!" and you know damn well "you pussy" was on the tip of his tongue.

[NickEsasky]

Long live MoGator! TFP said if you win us this series, he will buy a Ron Hextall t-shirt in your honor.

[The Four Peters]

I will absolutely do that.

[MoGator71]

I always wanted this one.

The best part is, while it's referring to him scoring his 2nd goal, he's got the stick up like he's ready to club somebody with it.

Whoever came up with Subzero



Had to have had Nexy in mind.

Where do you think my avatar came from and all of the "Fuckin' right he did" jokes come from in this forum?

Hell it's one of the reason we got gamethreads at one point.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Seriously Mo, check the subtitle on the Bs game thread forum.

[FL4WL3SS]

Also, if I ever run into Brick I will undoubtedly ask him "hey Brick, did you ever play in the NHL?" and his answer better be "Fuckin' right I did!"

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Or else what? You'll get your ass kicked by him?

[kenneycb]

Why does it say win tonight? What are we trying to win? The game of life? The Game of Life? Another board game? The fight against obesity and fat? The War on Drugs? Is it a Charlie Sheen reference? Do people still make Charlie Sheen references these days?

So many questions. So few answers. I'm scared.

[MoGator71]

I wondered about the "Fuckin right" thing, now I feel like a friggin moron.

Not as good as "he hit the fuckin post" though.

Shit I don't know...I'm lucky if I know my own team's schedule. Should I edit it?

Neely coming up now on Felger and Mazz for those interested.

[mcaqua]

So I'm curious as to what folks here think were the major differences between Games 2 and 3, and not the overly simplistic/smartass ('they won') view.

In all seriousness, I'd really like to hear some thoughts as to why there seemed to be so much more space (in the neutral zone, especially) for the Bruins to operate. In Game 2, it was obvious that Montreal was utlizing some type of trapping style that really stifled the Bruins defensemen on the breakout. Did Montreal move away from that gameplan last night? I ask because alot of those longer passes were connecting, allowing them to maintain speed through the neutral zone. This was in stark contrast to what we witnessed during Game 2.

Was this really just a matter of the Bruins bringing their skating legs (whereby they opened up passing lanes and seams) or did Claude and company fundamentally alter their approach for Game 3?

Edited by mcaqua, 19 April 2011 - 03:40 PM.

[The Four Peters]

I think the reason there was more space was simply because they went up 1-0 and then 2-0 in the game. That forced Montreal to open up their game and allowed the Bruins to dictate what they wanted to do.

Also, it looked like they felt much more relaxed and just played naturally. Their passes were crisper, decisions were quicker, and their skating was faster. Most of that is just a function of relaxing and playing the game like they know how. Sounds pretty simplistic, but that's what it looked like to me.

[kenneycb]

I missed the first two periods but, yeah, going into Game 3 the key was to get the first goal and get the first lead. Montreal is extremely effective with a lead when they just decide to bottle everything up and force the other team to beat them. The Bruins don't really have the horses to do that on a consistent basis so it's largely effective. Getting the lead early presumably prevented them from going into this shell and allowed the Bruins a lot more space and opportunities to make smart plays.

[jsinger121]

What did Neely say on F&M?

[FL4WL3SS]

That your mom is a whore.

[The Four Peters]

He didn't say that. Nor did he really say anything of note, to be honest. Just the typical quotes that sounded good but didn't have any great substance to them.

I really didn't notice a huge change in play - they still made some boneheaded mistakes, pucks still skipped over sticks, the PP still sucked and their breakout stinks - but Thomas was significantly better (despite the two softies) and they finished on those big chances instead of shooting into Price's chest like they did in games 1+2.

Honestly, in my opinion luck simply went their way for a change, and that was the biggest difference.

[The Four Peters]

Were we watching the same game?

Edit: I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just kinda confused how we both saw completely different things.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

[Haunted]

It's possible.

They definitely seemed less uptight, going to your point, and it's possible that that helped them make their own luck, so to speak. I'm not sure if that makes sense...

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Haunted is John Entwistle is what I'm saying.

[Haunted]

I'm dead?!

Anyway, Krejci's goal would have been fired into Price's chest and Peverly would somehow have missed the open net on his goal in games 1 or 2. They finished last night, whereas they weren't previously.

Beyond that, really, I saw the same mistakes I saw in the home losses.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

No, you're Boris the Spider.

[Haunted]

Incidentally, I'm deathly afear'd of spiders.

[The Four Peters]

Why always Boris?

For some reason this really made me giggle.

[kenneycb]

So apparently MillerCoors has data suggesting that hockey fans are the biggest beer drinkers of any of the major sports leagues. Suck on that NASCAR.

[Blacken]

Apparently the fuck-off Habs fans are claiming that Chara attacked Wisniewski when Wisniewski dove to his knees (following Section 3A of the Molson Diving Drill) and landed on his stick. Whoops!

I was convinced last night that Pouliot's elbow to Boychuk's head would result in a one game suspension, but after the virtual free passes given to Kunitz and Downie, I have been duly reminded about the NHL's total tolerance policy on vicious headshots. Good grief - enough of this shit, they just undid what ever impression they might have made about new standards.

And before I die, I want to see a Canadiens player called for diving - just once, thats all I ask.

[Manzivino]

Yahoo has the best of Jack from Game 3. Love it. Fuck the Scabs, win the fucking game.

[kenneycb]

The Pouliot call was awesome but Jack missed the ref raise his arm right after the hit. And they showed the replay with the ref in there about 8 times.

Ironically Deadspin called Jack the homerist of all homers or something like that.

[Toe Nash]

Let's do it.

[Manzivino]

I saw that the Blue Jays beat the Yankees in extra innings and my first thought was "Damn it, the Yankees got a loser point." Oh yes, it is still hockey season.

I thought it was Brick that missed it? He was particularly animated, so much so that when he finally saw that the official had his arm up all along, he apologized at the beginning of the next period.

Deadspin is clearly not acquainted with the work of one Thomas William Heinsohn.

[FL4WL3SS]

Jack is a pretty big homer, but at least he gets opposing player's names right. He knows his shit.

[FL4WL3SS]

I bet Jack would win in a non-Bruins trivia contest.

Also, Jack has gross teeth.

[FL4WL3SS]

If Jack's teeth were a flower, they'd be a daffodil.

[FL4WL3SS]

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Jack had wooden teeth.

[FL4WL3SS]

Him and George Washington, wooden teeth.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Listening to the Habs announcers for game 3 (and other announcers throughout the season) was very telling and solidified my view of Jack Edwards. Yes, he is a homer but as our lonely friend FL4WL3SS mentioned, he knows his shit. He also calls the game with excitement no matter what's happening. He doesn't act like his dog died when the other team scores a goal or does something positive, which too many announcers seem prone to do.

[FelixMantilla]

When Jack smiles, cars slow down.

[The Four Peters]

Jack's teeth were in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.
