This may very well be the last week I am a married man. MOL is going to be put to the test for hockey week. I think moving forward I will designate the first week in March Hockey Week. Canada has Hockey Day, I’m going one better with a whole week. Check the schedule this week. It’s perfect.
Tonight starts the week off with the surging Bruins taking on the new look Washington Capitals. My favorite Capital of all time? Tom Rowe. Followed closely by Randy Stumpy Burridge.
Tomorrow the Bruins return home to face the Florida Panthers. Let me just say this about the Panthers. Nathan Horton would look awesome in the Black and Gold. MOL is working until 11. I am unsupervised. I think I may eat a shit load of wings, and do a running diary for you guys.
Wednesday I will be in Lowell as the Devils take on the Hershey Bears. Maybe Ray Bourque will be there, and I can give him a Goonblog shirt. Or, maybe he’ll back his ass into me again.
Thursday MOL and I are going to Boston for the Bruins and Leafs. I love going to Leafs games because all the transplants come out of the woodwork, and it makes me think of the time Janet wondered aloud during a game, Hey, shouldn’t it be the leaves? Classic.
Friday will find me in Worcester as the Albany River Rats come to town. I haven’t seen our old pal Trevor Gillies nearly enough this year, so this is a perfect fit. I hope he goes ape shit on someone.
Saturday my brother is coming up for the 1 O’clock tilt against the Capitals. I take him to a Bruins game every year for his birthday. MOL is coming as well. My favorite quote about this game so far.
Me: So, the game is at 1.
Brother: (after a long pause.) 1 huh? Jeez. That’s means I’ll have to leave at like 7 to get to The Fours for 11.
Good times will be had by all.
Sunday the Bruins take on the Rangers, and I see myself unable to sustain verticality with a cold one in Acton. That’s most likely when MOL is going to snap, so please, does anyone have a couch I can watch the rest of the game on? Enjoy your week boys. I know I’ll enjoy mine!
Yikes. Bad start to Hockey Week. Bruins down 6-0. Terrible fight. They need to come out and take this out on the Caps.
Bad start to Hockey Week in Acton. Fuck, Bruins win six straight and then lose these two in a row terribly, at least they got one point last night. I hope Ward is back for the Leafs game on Thursday.
Agreed. Tonight marks a 4 games in four night stretch for me. At Lowell. At Boston. At Worcester. At Boston. Then my couch for Sunday. Pretty psyched.
And it just got worse>
No Heart and Timmy Thomas looks all done. We may have to ride Auld.
I was thinking the same thing about Timmy last night. He is out of gas.
