Ten things we LOVE about... the Boston Bruins ~ Preview and Open Thread


REVENGE. BLOOD. WAR. THE BATTLE FOR PATCHES AND THE SOUL OF HOCKEY. These are the themes that are swirling around the sixth and final meeting of the regular season between the Habs and Bruins tonight. At least if you're watching TSN. Blood lust is very exciting! But then we read yesterday that Chara has tried to reach out to PatCHes. What a lovely gesture! Who cares that he has yet to apologize or anything. I'm sure that's exactly what he was trying to do! You always apologize to the guy you almost maimed privately before you do it in public. That's just good manners! And any Canadian loves good manners. So that got us to thinking - a nice gesture, some good manners, maybe there are some things to love about the Bruins. Ten things even! Sure, anyone can list 10 things they hate about a rival, or even 20, but can we find ten things to love? Of course we can! We're drunk and / or high. Anton, drumroll please...

10. Delightful Bruin fan visitors to FHF! Like Cornelius! And Cornelius! And, uh, that other guy! Come back Cornelius.

9. The rise of former Bruins coaches Don Cherry and Mike Milbury to prominent positions at the CBC has granted us precious time to eat and masturbate during intermissions because we have to turn them off.

8. Bruins futility and skinflint ownership long ago forced The Sports Guy to abandon his Bruins fandom. Can you imagine if we had to deal with his pompous ass talking about the Bruins and hockey all the time? Ugh. We've been saved! We love you for that Bs!

7. They've got the second or third best jersey in the league. Sure, their old 3rd jersey was an abomination to mankind, but the original black and gold is solid. And black is always classy, like a tuxedo. Just look at the Raiders!

6. Ice Girls! We love ice girls. Ok maybe they're not Atlanta southern belles or anything, but it takes something special to be one of only two original six teams with ice girls.

5. The TD Garden provides valuable marketing exposure for our Canadian corporations.

4. Mark Recchi! Always nice to see players I loved in a Habs uni remembering to bring up their old club in interviews.

3. Their coach used to be our coach. That counts for something, right?

2. This Bruins Commercial. A giant bear beating the shit out of a Bruins fan and a cute CHick wearing a Habs jersey. What's not to love?

And the number one thing we love about the Bruins...

1. Without them, who we gonna hate?

7:00 PM start from Boston, on the regular blood lust-y TSN. There's nothing to preview, you know as well as I do what's happening, who's good and who's bad and who's injured and who's a game-time decision. Go read a real preview or use the Google if you want actual information. I would just love to see the fucking puck drop already. And for no one to get hurt.

Bring your own drunken-high passive-aggressive love-hate in the comments

Orangeman said...

Ok, I'm used to Gomer being useless, but now he's actively trying to destroy this team. If I see him on the ice at after this penalty that's it for me tonight.

Slalom Frog said...

Can we petition the government to deport Gomez?

the Maritimer said...

Gomez you dumb fuck!!!!!!

Steve said...

Do I get a prize for being 201?

Orangeman said...

@Steve: that was Gio. Unbelievable. Simply....unbelievable. It's become apparent we were all much more hyped for this game than they were.

timafurry said...

Scott fuckin Gomez for fuckin' retenu. FUCK!!!

UK3X said...

I need a concensus please...it's coming up on 12:45 am over 'ere...is this shit worth my staying up anything past the end of the 2nd? Anyone smell a comeback?

the Maritimer said...

Bench his ass Martin you fucking twit!!!!!!!

Young HF29 said...

Gomez' pass first mentality is spreading. that's just cruel

iRiRi said...

You know who recently got shut out 2 games in a row? The fucking Florida Panthers, that's who. FFS.

Young HF29 said...

mara cares

the Maritimer said...

Go to bed Kmaxx, you won't miss a thing.

LeBuuuuut said...

Here comes a 50 game suspension for Mara.

Steve said...

Two games minumum for Mara

Number31 said...

Unacceptable, Gionta. You miss a chance like that you don't deserve anything.

the Maritimer said...

Yes, Mara cares. He might be the only one tonight.

Bill 101 said...

Mara's giving some honey badger

Steve said...

Kmaxx I agree the Habs at this moment are just about as fucked as Cameroon.

moeman said...

Beauty hit by PFK! Nice going Yukon CHornelius but Bs pup's dad collie will likely add you to his shit list, alongside PatCHes.

Orangeman said...

So it's come down to only expecting a goal from two defensemen, one a rookie the other a mid-season aquisition. And even then they need a PP (yeah right) to have a chance.

moeman said...

Yogi Mara says, the game ain't over til its over. Then there's the playoffs.

Steve said...

The Honda commercial rocks in English, in French not so much. Not just the language the actors as well

Number31 said...

Meanwhile, Carey Price is going to go borrow some milk crates from Rask to throw at someone.

Matt - shit team said...

3 for 10 in remaining games

the Maritimer said...

I hope fucking Gomez is playing for Ak Bars Kazan next season. What a waste of 7 million dollars.

Steve said...

Squid even more than TiTs needs a feed. He is not a dipsy doodler, he need a one time shot. They need to work on a PFK to Squid play. PFK brings it deep and hits Squid, fuck I should be coaching this team.

Welcome to Canada and the internet

moeman said...

Hey, tsn panel, did the Bruins just win the Cup?

Steve said...

@anon thanks so far I think both are fucking excellent.

moeman said...

blob, Gill's back now? he had the fucking flu. If they lose its 4-2 for the season? Early playoff hate for the Habs?

Steve said...

I am impressed with the RDS French panel,they are not only handsome, animated, love it.

moeman said...

Good for Peca's comments about Ric Martin but tsn never, ever does the human side. Ever.

moeman said...

@Steve, I would switch the channel but I am keeping an eye out for mcsplooge calling out his 'best hockey friend' recchi. So far, no go.

Steve said...

Really we have come to far to fast, to young. It was not a month ago I was thinking 2013 peak, maybe I was right.

moeman said...

easy save

Steve said...

Mexican't did a good pass

moeman said...

mcsplooge, such an arrogant prick.

Steve said...

Did you just see 3 Habs players tripping over each other, Howie Meeker just had a stroke

moeman said...

Bad bounce game.

Orangeman said...

Seriously, fuck this team.

Steve said...

Good night

moeman said...

lg, I ❤ ya but I can barely hang on to listening to mcsplooge call out recchi.

Steve said...

For the love of God Chocula pull price

Number31 said...

Try any less, Habs. I think you may have broken a sweat.

moeman said...

Dear Notepad.

Orangeman said...

embarrassing

bea.habs.fan said...

it's too depressing for words.

i honestly don't know what's worst: Recchi's dumbass comment
or this teams pathetic play

I'm with 29 - throwing in the oven mitt

Bill 101 said...

Death Watch

wv: wifixe?

iRiRi said...

Sigh. It's now laughable how much I was excited about this game because it's clear the Habs couldn't care less.

moeman said...

USA chant. There ya go, stupidest fans in pro sports.

LeBuuuuut said...

They may have failed to kill Patches, but they seem to have killed our pride.

timafurry said...

Yes, was totally pumped all day, and Habs just killed it. I'm embarassed, Booins and Laffs fans are gonna have a field day. USA! USA! USA!

Sleepy said...

Arrrrggg this fuckin team sucks. Couldn't even get it up for PatCHes

Number31 said...

It should have been 35-0 by now.

Bring back the Bulldogs and whatever, hire Pascal Vincent already.

moeman said...

Just a game kidz. Bs ice a full team and can savour their 2nd win in 6 vs. a still not complete team but no excuses, Habs haven't shown up tonight and made it easy for these league-pampered fucks.

Matt - fuck this fucking team said...

Never been more embarrassed to be a habs fan than tonight

moeman said...

mcsplooge, 'taking on the identity of cam neely'. Do it fuckers cuz the overrated neely won squat.

Orangeman said...

I agree Riri. I just feel stupid for caring so much now seeing how little these millionaires do. But think how Patches feels. This is how his team responds to his near death.

I know I've been hard on Gomer, but his presence on the ice this period is an insult to the fans after his performance in the 2nd.

moeman said...

mcsplooge sucking collie's son. Sick.

Number31 said...

WTF is McSplooge calling this game? No wonder they're losing. They tend to lose the games he calls.

lawyergirl77 said...

Moe - you can stop watching. I'm not that heartless. Besides, I knew that McSplooge calling out Recchi would be as likely as 29 actually making good on his promise to get us the ice cream he used to promise to get for us...

Fuck this - I'm gonna go do laundry or some other menial chore.

Unknown said...

two things.
#1: Sopel may have broken the record for most unchallenged giveaways in the history of the game.

#2: I'm still proud to be a Habs fan because although we've obviously lost this game. None of our players are trying to injure, fight or decapitate any of the Bruins.

That is why we will always be better than Boston.

Steve said...

Take a look at Chara's stick, you could use it a a central beam in the roof of a house.

Flat. Flat Flat, thats it, no passion no mas no struggle. You dont have to be Donald Trump to figure out MEX your fired.

iRiRi said...

So... They couldn't get a puck past Auld in the warmup when they crashed his net for 1:26? Christ. Should've packed up and went home then and there.

*pukes*

Steve said...

Kaberle scores a goal every 3 years fuck

UK3X said...

You know Joel Bouchard keeps going up in my estimation - he can still be a dickhead from time to time but at others he sounds like he knows what he's talking about...

BTW - anyone see a goal for the Habs tonight 'cause I sure as shit don't.

dwgs said...

Just so I'm clear on this. We had to pick up Gomez's 5 years at 8 million (almost) per so we could have a chance to sign Cammy and Gio, right? Cuz I still have some respect for Gionta but other than that...

Number31 said...

At this rate, just take the puck and aim for the shins or feet.

moeman said...

Merci lg.

I'm calling this game and I'm calling the Bruins a useless dumbass organization worthy of mcsplooge's splooge.

Avalanche!

moeman said...

Face on face. What a fucking stupid comment.

LeBuuuuut said...

I bet Marchand gets a bonus from the league for that hit.

Steve said...

More phone calls from Buttman, now that the game is out of reach, call some fucking penalties

iRiRi said...

Okay, Mex is mad now! Beware, Bruins!

SCORE A FUCKING GOAL HERE YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS PATCHES IS WATCHING FFS.

moeman said...

Sick.

Number31 said...

That was ... a goal... Why no review?

Oh fuck what the hell was that Wiz...

LeBuuuuut said...

Why would Patches even want to come back to this?

Steve said...

ooooch, the Bruins get more chances killing the powerplay than we do playing it, is the urologist back?

moeman said...

Who was it that suggested the game should've been forfeited?

Orangeman said...

Finding new ways to be fucking pathetic. It's beyond comprehension.

iRiRi said...

*picks up jaw from floor*

Rips it, scores! said...

This is an absolute fucking disgraceful effort by the Habs.

One simple question which should be asked of the entire squad when they walk off the ice tonight: Where's your fucking pride?

lawyergirl77 said...

I can't even

Number31 said...

I swear Gio scored on that 5-on-3. Where's the replay check on it?!

Not that it really fucking matters. Ride home will be DEAD QUIET.

Bill 101 said...

This just in: The Scott Gomez Fan Club is a family-run outfit

wv: singe

moeman said...

meh, meet these fuckers in the playoffs and shove their home ice advantage down their fucking ugly throats.

iRiRi said...

So... Bagskate tomorrow?

timafurry said...

Seriously, the worst thing about this is we have to hear it from Bruins and Leafs fans.

Orangeman said...

I stuck with the Habs through their darkest years, even bought tickets to watch their vain attempts at 'hockey'. But I've never seen a fuckshitfest like this. A team under Saku would never put this kind of effort in. I can take losing (I'm a Habs fan, afterall) but this...this is fucking pathetic.

iRiRi said...

Apparently, Gomez is playing with a broken nose right now.

Do we even feel bad?

Hadulf said...

Why the fuck is gomez still on the PP...Him and Cammy need a fucking reality check..

Steve said...

That was the worst game I have ever experienced,

iRiRi said...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

Number31 said...

Who was the prick that scored after the buzzer? What a douche.

LeBuuuuut said...

Drive down the ice and shoot after the horn? What the fuck?

UK3X said...

I'm too pissed off to even go to bed - which I should have done an hour ago - fuck that was pathetic!

Anonymous said...

Maybe they let in the 6th and 7th goal for Patches.

iRiRi said...

*bursts into tears*

Man, I can't wait to see what they have to say about their effort.

Hadulf said...

@Steve. Yup.

moeman said...

Swallow it FHFers. Worst game in a long while. Worst time to do it. Can only get better. Enjoy the fact you aren't a B or leaf fan. Take the high road, the next day or so will be painful. Don't click on pfuck daddy.

LeBuuuuut said...

Mike Milbury just said essentially that this win avenged Chara breaking Patches neck.

Wha??

moeman said...

N31, tyler seguin, dumbass rookie B but not the prick marchand is and will continue to be.

Steve said...

Let me do the game review for you.

It never happened and if you think you saw something your mistaken

Bill 101 said...

Comrades,

Gird your loins

Tomorrow is not looking too good

bad timing.. with sexy Friday and all..

moeman said...

Let them gloat, this is their Stanley Cup.

UK3X said...

Does 300 comments get us anything? Mind you after tonight I think we all need a realiity check

Rips it, scores! said...

I miss Murray Wilson on CJAD. His reaction to this shitfest would have been.....interesting.

Where to from here? Washington next, Jesus.

timafurry said...

That was horrible. Maybe the Habs will go on a 7-game win streak now? Either way, hope we meet the Booins in first round and take 'em out. !!! Go Habs Go !!!

the Maritimer said...

Guys I can actually remember a game long ago, 1974, when Ken Dryden took his one year sabbatical to get his law degree. The Bruins beat Montreal 8-0 at the Forum with Bunny Laroque and Wayne Thomas in net. That was fucking embarrassing and so was tonight.

When does the next 5 year plan begin? Three more years until Gomez' contract runs out you say. Oy Vay....

iRiRi said...

After tonight, we all need an appointment with a psychiatrist. Well, I do anyways. I'd like some insight on what issues I have that would make me watch this game till the bitter end.

Curtis said...

That does it, I'm pulling for the Laffs.

Orangeman said...

Chris Nilan is livid on CJAD. Taking out his teeth, swearing and comparing them to girls. "A disgrace to the organization".

GHF377 said...

Dear fellow Habiasts,

is it okay to cry a little now? Or should I just feel plain dirty?

Thank you for your advice,

A German Habs Fan

Number31 said...

Ren calls it. He's even got a Toe Blake hat on.

Steve said...

Alles ist nicht verlorn, it was not the Leafs we lost to.

If your drunk its okay to cry, otherwise have that shower cause its nearly time to start drinking.

Hadulf said...

@GHF377 - I think your Ahole should be burning by now, that's how I feel anyway...

@29 - Never. Ever. EVER try a broons love fest again. Come to think of it, I (sort of) blame you...

Sleepy said...

I can't get a positive out of this; unless we see the end of CHocula and the 'the system'.

Rips it, scores! said...

It's night like this where I wish I had a taste for whiskey.

Steve said...

Sleepy brings up a positive aspect to this game. The System could not beat the Buffalo System, and aside from making the Montreal power play look like the Boston power play it had no traction to nite. The system is gone like bell bottoms and tie died t shirts.

GHF377 said...

Thanks guys, fortunately I started drinking way into the 1st period so I just cry a little with clenched fists and teeth.

I recommended this game to my mom (who likes hockey) for days now, what am I supposed to tell her? She tried calling me twice already.

Depressed greetings for a far away country not big on hockey.

Hadulf said...

@GHF377 - Tell her this wasn't a 'real' game. It was just a scrimmage between two teams that are trying out different 'systems'.

Steve said...

@Hadulf, best explanation possible, it was a systems check.

Steve said...

I would not want to be Geoff Molson's Vagina on Friday, even sexy Friday.

Number31 said...

Recchi back peddling on his bullshit comments were to "take the heat off Chara". I agree with Nilan's assessment: YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, RECCHI.

GHF377 said...

Guys, please. We may be from a non-hockey country, but I could never sell that to her.

I guess I drink myself into oblivion and mute the phone. Maybe send her roses tomorrow. Anybody here knowing JM's credit card details? He should be paying.

And has anybody a positive line to sell the game against the Caps? A friend in Montreal suggested "Can't get any worse!", but I am not sure that's enough.

Bratwurst and Schnitzel to you all! (Just to fit the chliché)

Number31 said...

Nonsense. There's plenty of hockey in Germany. Mike Glumac is there. Bulldogs sure could use his goals right now... (Then again he was rather useless without Desharnais).

I have TWO hamentashens left. Sigh.

Steve said...

#ghf377 against the Caps OVIE might hurt himself from celebrating so much, major schadenfreude potential.

GHF377 said...

Sure, plenty of hockey over here, but the pro league makes the peewees look like the real deal.
The few good ones head off to the NHL. Some even join the Ruins, so feel my pain.

Gute Nacht zusammen, hope you can sleep on this.

Anonymous said...

drinking scotch and vermouth and eating licorice to kill the pain but it isn't working.

Anonymous said...

maybe puking my guts out in the morning will make me feel better.

sadhabsfan said...

I'd like to see Gomez apologize for impersonating a hockey player.

GHF377 said...

@Steve
Enticing thought but I'd rather see our Habs win again instead of enjoying m Schadenfreude.
Plus it maybe despicable but I like Ovi - a kid pretending to be a grownup hockey player.

And I am off into tossing and turning on this.

sadhabsfan said...

This is a just nightmare right? It can't be possible that the Habs could have a 5 on 3 power play and allow a short-handed goal en route to a 7-0 shutout in a season defining game? No wonder Nilan's head is exploding. These guys need to refund some salary.

Number31 said...

Already forgot about the game.

Unknown said...

Dear Gomez, get the fuck off my team your useless piece of shit. We don't need you. Fuck off and go fuck Sarah Palin you fucking useless Alaskan piece of shit. Game over. Fuck off.

Unknown said...

Tonight definitely sucked. But I can take one thing away from it that makes me very proud to be a Habs fan.

With time running out and the score clearly out of reach, our players didn't try to cheap shot, injure, or decapitate their opponent out of frustration.

Instead, like actual civilized human beings, they accepted their loss, understood defeat, and returned to their dressing room to fight another day.

That's the difference between us and a team of embarrassing jar heads that won't win a Stanley Cup, due to their primate limitations of not understanding what it means to EARN one.

Respect and actual love of the game is what separates us from teams like Boston.

I sleep well at night comforted by the fact that my team is less Milbury and all Beliveau.

I also sleep comfortably on a stack of 24 memorable Stanley Cups that have been EARNED by the most respected, admired and beloved hockey players in the history of the game.

In closing,
Eat my well-rested subconscious shit Boston.
