It ended up being good that the Blues got within 3 as they stopped headhunting for a short period of time.
Fantastic wordsmithing. But let's hope he keeps feeling " good" for a few more games.Bergy had one of the better bald faced truthful lies I’ve seen in awhile when Pierre asked him if he were hurt.
“I feel good.”
I been tryna tell yaThe only reason the Blues won game 2 is because they knocked out Grz.
If the Bruins weren’t playing down a man for 2+ periods they win that game.
Bruins are winning this in 5.
2 more is enough. I'd prefer 2, over 3 or 4.Fantastic wordsmithing. But let's hope he keeps feeling " good" for a few more games.
No no, definitely don't do that.Why would we start listening now?
Read his book it's fantastic. His Hawaii story is nutsNBCSN ran a 30:30 type on Derek Sanderson after the game.
As some one born in the 80s who saw grainy clips and read about the early 70S Bs it is a fascinating story.
Ya kinda see the 2 Stanleys w Orr Esposito et al and then his broadcasting and some positive stuff and are like cool, good dude.
But the stories about his addiction etc etc are wild.
Probs not the right forum but wasnt sure where else to go.
His first book is well worth a read too, although it’s before he’s candid about his issues.Read his book it's fantastic. His Hawaii story is nuts

Interview with Rask after the game, interviewer asked what Perron was saying to him after one of the brouhahas. Rask said Perron accused him of flopping. “Were you?” “No.” This St. Louis team, you could really justify taking out a contract on some of them.
Perron must have been watching a bunch of Pierre-Luc Dubois film. It seems like the only thing he's doing on the ice is making contact with Rask and taking dumb penalties.
When I saw the ref come in and point I thought Perron was getting a 10m misconduct.
Seriously though if this were the regular season I'd expect Acciari would be out there rearranging his face. Really hope the refs clean this garbage around Rask up.
Good God, if the one player on your team that’s been to the SCF is busy running the other team’s goalie to get back after perceived flops, just hand said other team the Cup.Interview with Rask after the game, interviewer asked what Perron was saying to him after one of the brouhahas.

No, feel free to break it out, thanks.............@54thMA, do you mind if I break that out? Worthy of its own topic, absolutely tremendous.
On a lighter note, here's this gem, stolen from today's Cubs broadcast:
You all realize you're watching hockey and not soccer right? The complaining about the physical play is exhausting, this is what makes hockey great. Let them act like goons, the Bruins will keep putting up 7 spots on them.
I'm loving this series, it has it all.
I thought it absurd the guy accusing Rask of flopping. Just play the game. Maybe this is the way hockey is. I will still thoroughly enjoy putting the goon squad away on Thursday.Good God, if the one player on your team that’s been to the SCF is busy running the other team’s goalie to get back after perceived flops, just hand said other team the Cup.
I agree with you except for the Sunkist (sic) hit on Gryz, the Blais launch on Backes, and the Schenn near miss on Pasta that, if he’d connected, would have scrambled Pasta’s brain for the foreseeable future, but instead left Schenn imitating Greg Louganis missing the water and hitting the pool deck.You all realize you're watching hockey and not soccer right?

Small world-ish. My dad played on a pretty competitive softball team from New Hampshire. I remember him taking me to one of his team’s tournaments in MA—teams from all over New England competed. Sanderson played on one of the MA teams. He rolled up to the field in a Corvette or Camaro (can’t recall which—long time ago), smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer. I remember the beer and cigarette like it was yesterday.When I was a kid, my Dad played in a softball league as a member of the Boston Police team, Daisy Buchanans was the sponsor, ,they wore black and yellow shirts with Daisy Buchanans across the front, a Bruins log on one sleeve and the BPPA logo on the other.
After the games on Sundays, we'd go to the bar and I'd hang out with my Dad and the players, Derek would be there, there would always be various Bruins players there as well, I had a 1970 Bruins yearbook with every players autograph, that disappeared when my Dad passed away a few years ago, pretty sure my oldest brother took it.
As a 10 year old kid, they were Gods to me, Derek always treated me great, as did the other players.
My Dad had a few cookouts in the Summer at our old house on Spring Street in West Roxbury, Bruins players would come to them all the time and just hang out; it would be them and numerous Boston Police officers all enjoying each others company, it was a special time in my life, Esposito and Hodge were my two favorite Bruins, they were very good to me, they all were, but them especially.
Hockey players are pro athletes like no other, I loved that team of the 1970's and have loved the Bruins ever since.

Sadly, my memory of the day is not that precise. Cool car, beer, and cigarettes are what stuck in my mind; the brands are lost to time.Marlboro Red and Budweiser?
You probably know he scored the tying touchdowns for both the Rams in SB 36 and the Panthers in SB 38 before Vinatieri won it.Ricky Proehl could have shown up in both Carolina and St. Louis.
I didn’t mean “shown up” in the SBs. I meant “shown up” before the Bs’ series against Carolina and St Louis. Awkward phrasing, I know.You probably know he scored the tying touchdowns for both the Rams in SB 36 and the Panthers in SB 38 before Vinatieri won it.
