In such a short season, every game is important, great to see them take down a big opponent in their first game! Woo!

I love this team, built to win now while also has the future locked with Rask, Seguin and Hamilton. Makes the Pats/C's situation less ugly. This team is my happy place.

Nothing bad to say about that game. Glad they didn't look real rusty and that Lucic got the first goal after hearing many people talk about his lack of conditioning. On to the Jets tomorrow at 1:00 EST!

I don't know if this is okay to ask or not. But do either of you know an active Bruins forum. For the past few years or so I've been wanting to get into hockey, although I have such a hard time understanding the game and I can never tell is someone is playing well or poorly. But I think reading the posts of active fans to games and such might help me out and get a better understanding. That's if I could ever actually track the puck ><

That's why I had trouble getting in to hockey when I was younger. I used to not be able to track the puck when I first started watching too but you get used to it. And it does seem complicated at first but there usually aren't a ton of different calls made in the game.

Sums it all up. Icing isn't really a penalty by the team who does the icing gets penalized for it, and that's the call you'll see the most by far.

Seidenberg is out of the lineup today.

1:58 in and they already score because of a long rebound.

One of these shots is bound to go in. So close.

I simply wasn't into hockey till I was 11, but it had nothing to do with the puck. My family just never fed it to me as a kid like they did baseball, football and basketball.

Hard to catch the Bruins on TV unless it's a nationally televised and beats out an NBA game. And the only other time is if they're up against my home team, the young Oilers.

Hamilton looks really poised, I'm really liking it.

Ridiculous. This could easily be 3-1.

What a game. Finally hit the back of the net in a shootout.

Hard fought victory. I knew that goalie couldn't hold it in a shootout. I was just worried whether or not it would get to the point. Good game by Tuuka.

I predict:
Bruins finish 35-10-3
Hamilton will be ROY lol

Tonight at 7:30 EST against the Rangers again.

Atrocious start. It's been all NYR offense vs. Bruins defense.

And just as I post this Gaborik has his second goal. Come on!

Good comeback to get themselves a point. Shame it had to end like that in OT. But a points a point.

Post #17 » by **Geoffrey P** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 9:25 pm

Only problem I had was that two of Tuukka's rebounds led to goals. Next game tomorrow at 7 against the Islanders

Good brilliant game from Dougie and nice goal from Bergeron and everyone else.

Post #19 » by **Geoffrey P** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:44 am

All of these games have been pretty good so far. I'm waiting for Seguin to come around though. He's had some shots on goal but not a single one has gone in.

I wonder if we'll see Khudobin in one of the next two because it's a back to back with the Hurricanes and then the Devils.

Post #20 » by **Celtics_Champs** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 1:52 pm

as soon as Tyler gets his first, the rest will come fast.

Dougie is great! Hot start for the potential calder winner.

Good point on Khudobin, I think it's a definite he gets a start.
