Preseason starts today!

We got six years of Pasta baybee!

Let's see what our old friend Claude Julien can do with the washed up Habs-beens.

Feeling oddly optimistic this year for the first time since... 2013? Change of leadership got us into the playoffs when our four best defensemen were out. Combined with last years' rookies growing into themselves, healthy veterans, and some common fucking sense not to over-use Rask for 80% of games like they did last year, we might be able to go the distance.

TBH I just want us to make it to round two.

Fuck the Habs

We had a bunch of nobodies out there and they had some of their best and we still smoked them.

Great start to the (pre)season.

Krug out for three weeks because of that puck, goddamnit.

Tuukka looking good out there Thursday though. .967 SV

A lot of people aren't happy about the stricter face-off and slashing calls.

15-18 penalties in a game?

Hopefully it's just a preseason thing, games are gonna be really awkward and jerky otherwise.

Now that the games actually count.....

FUCK YA! 7-2 BITCHES!

Not making any assumptions about how they end up doing this year, but woe to any team not ready for the sheer offensive onslaught this Leafs team looks like it can bring.

BRUINS WIN

Lol those last three minutes were cray. 3-1 Bruins, then open goal for us, then a power play which gave them two goals to make it 4-3 right at the end.

Gotta be honest, I was sweatin' in that last half-minute.

Khudobin saving our asses and giving us a 3-game streak

Khudobin being awesome while Rask is having some off-games, right after I've bought a Rask jersey

Tasty · « **Reply #40 on:** December 12, 2017, 07:59:15 PM »

We're 4-1 for the last five. Key guys finally coming back from injuries, Khudobin proving to be a great goalie to take the pressure off Rask, Rask finding his groove after a shaky start back... maybe the thread title wasn't so crazy after all.

Tasty · « **Reply #41 on:** December 20, 2017, 06:08:17 PM »

It's time to start paying attention to what Bruins are doing

11-3-1 for the last 15.

This bounce-back brehs.

And we still haven't played a game at full health yet this season!

The rookies are finally coming into their own, veterans are acting like it, and Khudobin's been able to take a lot of pressure of Rask (his win last night was his first since Rask's return, while Rask hasn't lost a game since his return.)

Gonna be hard to keep momentum going until game 82 but goddamn we're looking solid after an absolutely crushing season opening.

Hope

Was at this game last night. Felt pretty shitty getting seated and Montreal already being up 1-0, but we shut em out after that.

First game I've been to in my Tuukka jersey, and it was only his second home win against the Habs... ever.

This team right now brehs.

The Bruins are still cruisin’, going 10-0-4 in their last fourteen games, their longest points streak since 2014. Tuukka Rask is 13-0-2 in his last 15 games.
