No, not the Chris Hansen type.

I'm going to the Bruins game on Saturday, and I see that they're playing the Nashville Predators.

I didn't realize how good they were.

Ranked 3rd in the league, or something like that.

Looking forward to a good game.

Should I take my son or my wife?

He's been to more Bruins game than I have over the past couple years, but I'll be in LaLa land next week so this could double as an early V-day gift to her.

Decisions, decisions.

Don't really like the Red Wings as I've known too many of their fans that are arrogant @sses about hockey. At least they are an original six team. I'd rather support the Penguins, Rangers or Blackhawks. Not too fond of most of the Canadian teams as their fans are worse than the Red Wings Fans. IMO.

Really I'd rather watch College Hockey most of the time if it is on.

Love the Hawks, like the Bruins.

Hate the Vancouchie Canunts.

Habs suck too.

Pengies hack and dive too. Malken is good, tho.

The college game is pretty good too.

My alma mater is a Div 1 school, and I catch at least one game every season, usually with some of my professors.

I'll be watching them play BU next friday if all goes as planned.

Ah, the Broad Street Bullies years. Those where the days. They sure played "dirty", but dang we loved them. Dave "The Hammer" Schultz targeting the other team's star players. The Russians walking off the ice in protest. And of course "Only God saves more then Bernie Parent!" Good memories. Still love hockey, but dang has it been wusified.

If'n the B's can't outscore you, they'll slap you aroud so you'll think twice next time.

Lord Stanley agrees.

After a loss to the Sabers last night?

I think my Bruins will turn predator to prey by the end of the second.

I have to remember to bring an extra hat. Could be a trick for Seguin.

Why so defensive? Just my opinion. Nothing more. You are correct about one thing; I generally don't like good teams that have a sense of entitlement (i.e. Duke, UK, Dallas, etc....) I’ve probably pissed off all of those fans. Oh well. They can all kiss my beanbag. [frypan]

alien tech, IR spectrum vision, sport hunting...

oh right, HOCKEY, well then....

Going to a ECHL cinci cylones game in a few weeks, and they're loosely affiliated with the predators, if that counts :D

But yeah, my heart has always been with the Bruins!

The Broad Street Bullies of the mid 70's would send any modern hockey team, including your Bruins, running to the dressing room calling for their momma. No helmets or visors back then. Notice how the old timers are all missing their front teeth? They'd block a shot with their mouth, and spit the teeth out onto the ice just as they where slamming an opposing player head first into the boards. Real men, playing a real man's game.

That game yesterday was FRIGGIN AWESOME!!

One of the best regular season games I've ever seen.

In terms of intensity and tension, as well as going into OT and then a shoot-out.

Had it been a true rival team, it would have been perfect.
