The Goonsquad was well represented at the Garden last night as the Bruins defeated the Columbus BlueJackets. The starting lineup included Tweener, MOL, and after an extended breakfast, TKO. The night started at the Fours for some wings, Flutie sandwiches, and a few Miller High Life. We headed over to the Garden and found our seats. Great seats by the way. Thanks Cato. Anyhow, Tweener and I were glad to see number 45 for Columbus, Jody Shelley was dressed. I had never seen him live before, and I was surprised how big he was. You know who else is big? Rick Nash. We’ll get to her. Wait for it. You’ll see. Milan Lucic got the Garden faithful into it early with another impressive dust up with Columbus forward Jarred Boll. Once again, Milan overpowered his opponent and landed some hard punches. Rest of the league beware, this kid is for real. Shortly thereafter, Jeremy Reich got the game winner for Boston with a nice hardworking goal in our end. Good to see Reicher get one there. Tweener and I were talking, and he seems to have some faster hands this season. It’s good to see him do well.
Now on to the real highlights. There was a very hot girl in a Rick Nash jersey in front of us. Her glasses were blue, and so was her head band. I am not sure her boyfriend in the Bruins jersey was pleased about me calling her a puck slut loud enough for everyone to hear, but fuck him. It’s not my fault HOL is foxy. Even MOL thought she was sexy.
Tommy Gunn was plastered and was making friends all over the arena. Everyone loves a drunken guy in a Serial Killer T shirt. My favorite part of the night though was the woman that had no idea about hockey cheering, or urging the boys on. She had no clue, and it was hysterical. My favorite line? Get it up the ice and work it, work it, woooork it! No one else heard it, but I did, and nearly spit out my brew I was laughing so hard. Getting ready for the Pats game here. Good times last night. Tweener, it was good to see you. It’s been too long.
Yes, Chris, it had been too long since we last saw each other. However, I felt like the special needs teacher, (traveling with the school nurse)taking his two prize pupils on a field trip to the rink ! You boys need to be medicated.
The Lucic fight was a highlight for sure…that kid has a hammer for a right hand and he’s capable of doing some serious damage. I just hope that when Thornton comes back,the B’s line up has him, Lucic and Reich on a nightly basis.That’ll be as close to the big, bad Bruins since…..forever.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on the scouting report that you gave on the chick in the Nash jersey.I think that you’re just too used to the wildebeest’s that haunt the Tsongas, she’d be a 10-plus there, if only because she wasn’t 250 lbs. and appeared to wash her hair ! Beer Goggles, my man !
While we were at the Gahden, Jon Mirasty was tossing the gloves again in Syracuse, fighting Hamilton’s Jimmy Bonneau. A win for the Nasty one.That kid’s head must be made of granite…nothing seems to phase him.
People do tend to comment on the Goonblog t-shirts, eh ?? Glad that you made it home in one piece, pal.
Simon is at it again. What is wrong with this guy? He needs to be banned from the NHL after this latest cowardly act. I’m all for the ruff stuff but this is despicable:

I read the whole article Killer. And there is indeed A history of problems. But to continue to stereotype, (off N.H.L. standards) One small paragraph in that long article seems to connect the fact that he is A member of the Ojibwa Tribe and an alcoholic. Irish guys don’t drink, do they?
(I know, I jump in at the most petty times.)
Come on guys, that was a minor little skate to skate love tap and Ruuttu acted like his leg was chopped off. Yes it was wrong but it is getting blown out of proportion. Fans want to see violence, raw emotion, skill, and talent. That is all that was, a little gamesmanship.
RT – welcome back! We thought we lost u.
KSpecial – the guy is a fucking meat head after all that he has done in the past, he does not deserve to continue to earn a living playing in the NHL. I don’t care what color he is, what his sexual preference may be or weather he rides a horse to work. Ban him now.
Kid what about Clarence ‘Screaming Buffalo’ Swamptown? He was a goon and you loved him. Lighten up Killer, I think you are getting tame in your advanced age. I think he should do some commercials and highlight films. The guy is an untamed animal and I like it.
I miss me some Flutie sandwiches.
Another sport I indulged in as A youth was boxing. Strictly fighting. When you bite someones ear off… well you’re starting to abandon the sporting aspect of it all. Cheap shots are nothing but symptoms of A sore sport.
