Game 5

I just want to start by saying "I do not want a game 7". I do not know if I can handle it. But if there is one I will be there, Towelman and all.

As the games go on, the tickets get more expensive and our crew is dwindling. That's the sacrifice for trying to reach the Cup.  MikeyT and I start out at The Northstar  for some dinner and drinks. No Big Bob today but we have Mario and Smashley going to the game. As we head up the escalators to go into the game they are filming and I am sure we were on TV, either NESN pregame or the national Versus coverage. That dude had me on the escalator for three quarters of the ride and then screaming go Bruins. If he didn't use it well then it's his loss!

We get into our seats 10 minutes before the puck drops. Apparently, Phil the guy who screams every second of the B's games is no longer coming to games this season, as he puts their season tickets in jeopardy. You get spoken too by one usher for foul language and your family takes your tickets away? I am calling BULLSHIT!
There is a feeling of high anxiety from the crowd. They are loud yet apprehensive. Just over a minute into the game and the B's are down 1-0. You could feel the air being sucked out of the building for the next 5 minutes. But the crowd slowly gets back into it with a "LETS GO BRUINS" chant. The Garden is humming and you can feel like this may be our night. Timmy Thomas does what Timmy Thomas does and makes save after save. We are ONLY down 1-0 after 1. I can't honestly remember the B's taking any shots.

Albie couldn't make the game but his sister did and she wanted to touch  the Towelman pouch:

I mean who doesn't? Wayne-oh from the Garden staff even sought out Towelman to give him a fist pump.

The start of the second period has the B's buzzing and that can only be a good thing. A couple of dumb calls on Horton doesn't seem to slow their momentum. Horton more than makes up for his gaffes with a nice one timer, HORTON HEARS A HORN - WHOOOOOO!! MIKE SMITH WELCOME TO THE PLAYOFFS. The game is all tied up 1-1!( At this point the camera man officially hates Towelman. he will put everyone in our section up on the Jumbotron but me - I guess there is Towelman Hate out there people). After some hard work the B's finally take the lead on a goal by Brad Marshmont, B's up 2-1.

In between the 2nd and the 3rd period we are just hanging out when Dave Andreychuck, a former NHLer wants in on the Towelman action:

The action in the 3rd was fast. Tampa was doing anything it could to try and tie up the game. Thomas' save of the year with just over 10 minutes into the 3rd really amped up the team and the crowd. You could tell that Thomas would not let us lose. The final was 3-1 due to an empty netter from Rich Peverly. Let's hope they close this out tomorrow night in Tampa Bay. If not we are back at the Garden, Friday night for a Game 7 showdown.

LETS GO BRUINS!!

It was good to see Rajon Rondo and Bill Belicheck at the game last night. 

B's tonight...

Look at these playoff stats:



Wheeler -6
Ryder -4
Paille -2
Sobotka -10
Begin -6
Ference -8
Mcquaid -4
Stuart -3
Thornton -3

A FUCKING -10 FROM SOBOTKA?? What the hell dude? I know you are a mini wrecking ball out there but maybe you should stop trying to bury people in the corners and start burying pucks in the back of the net?

Stuart you have only played in 2 game? The have scored 9 goals in that time. You have been on the ice for 1/3rd of their goals. Do something damn it!

Ference basically you skate around behind the net looking to make that stupid off the boards pass. Move the puck forward.

Ryder and Wheeler the point is to put it in the net. As Derek Sanderson would say...SCORE MORE GOALS!

Begin you go from making a great play to looking like you just put on skates. What gives man?

I hope the Bruins step it up tonight and finish this thing off. I don't feel comfortable with a game 7 even though it is at the Garden. Just like the Celtics stepped it up last night, they should be able to do it tonight.

Plus I don't want to have to give Iggles his Yuengling.

Sad day in mudville

This is going to be my last post for the blog. I am shutting it down as of 6:00 pm tonight. It is just too much work to keep up with everyday, writing, posting, videos, links, and more writing. Rio, Bigshow, Stylegal, and Cheifdude have all stopped posting things...

Just fucking with you guys it's April fools day ya'll!! Ha ha who the fuck talks like that? Ya'll, Yonder, Whew and all that other bullshit!! It always makes me smile though, probably because all I can think is "what a dumb shit". Alright enough about that.

Apparently people think that I have not been writing enough. I am not doing my part to keep up with other blogs. Well here I am...bring it bitches.

The dart team lost last night 6-5. The Big show was a NO SHOW! Jeffrey didn't make it. Bob V was out sick. We had 6 guys and we toughed it out. Mike Foley played his ass off and came up with huge darts throughout the night. The player of the week is Welchie. His double cork in Cricket saved his game and possibly the season. Good job boys, next weeks match is at the St. Marks Post or smokeville as I like to call it.

The Bruins continued their recent resurgence with a 3-1 win last night over the Bolts(is there any dumber nick name than the Bolts for the Lightning?). Big Z carried the load with a Gordie Howe hat trick(1 goal, 1 assist and 1 fight for all you wanna B's). Chuckwagon and Blake Wheeler both joined the 20 goal plateau making them the 7th players on the Bruins to achieve that this year. Keep the wins coming boys. Hopefully Phil Kessel will start skating by the end of the week and play a few tune up games next week heading into the playoffs.

Speaking of playoffs, tickets go on sale tomorrow at 11 am here are the links:
