Boston is surging right now, winning nine straight games while New Jersey is currently 5-5-0 in their last 10 games. I mean, this should be a winnable game for the Bruins, but it’s the second game of a back to back and it is on the road.
So who the fuck knows?
Not me, that’s who! At least Boston won’t be filled with idiotic drunks who think they’re Irish even though their last name is like Alfredo or Vanderbust or Goldstein. Fucking retards. Fucking people man. Sometimes I look back and wonder if I was that stupid and I do believe I was. Maybe it is just a thing. Maybe I’m just a crotchety old ass fuck.
Last night’s recap is up, so I suggest you take a gander.
The thing I can say about New Jersey is that like to possess the puck. They’re seventh in the NHL in corsi for % while Boston sits fourth. The Devils are also first in shots against so if Boston is going to score tonight, they’re going to need to work at it. I also said this about Minnesota and that wasn’t particularly true so who the fuck knows.
Also.
He.
Returns.
Jagr is having a fantastic season for a team that won’t do shit this year. It makes me sad that he couldn’t bring this type of play to Boston with him, but it seemed like a theme among older guys in the league when May/June rolled around (looking at you Iggy).
Imagine if 2014 Jagr played for the Bruins last year? I mean, look at the picture above. He looks like a guy that was sleeping between 7-11 and whatever other shit store is there outside of the Garden. Like Chiarelli was walking down the street and saw him begging for change and said to himself “This mother fucker can puck, I know it.” and signed him for a short term contract.
Also, part of me hopes Uncle Daddy is in net tonight. I’d love to see Boston tee off on Brodeur one last night. With my luck (and the luck of my fantasy hockey team) it’ll be Schneider and he’ll get shelled.
I mean, I’m in a league with all Penguins fans, I NEED THIS NHL. THE BRAGGING RIGHTS WILL BE TOO DAMN HIGH! I need my troll game to evolve into it’s final form.
