It’s good to see 4 year-olds getting interested in hockey.

That Bruin sure took the scenic route to get to the net, considering he’s playing against a bunch of inanimate cardboard cutouts. Must’ve been drunk.

Wonder if his/her WHL team has ever lost by 7. Hope he/she stopped watching the games when they did.
PS. no room on the bandwagon for you when the Leafs make the playoffs, jerkstore.

True story

A strange guy with an enormous backpack stuffed with odd-smelling sandwiches claimed a single seat next to us in the purples during the Colorado game. He showed up about 10 minutes into the game.

When the first period horn goes, he looks at us and says, “Disgusting. They’re just disgusting. A junior team would be way better.” He tossed the uneaten parts of his sandwiches into his backpack and left, never to return. By the way, it was a 0-0 game and the Leafs were 3-0-0 at the time.

I’m kind of starting to put two and two together here.

No wonder it ended up 7-0; they were playing with 7 pucks at the same time. How do you expect Gus/Scrivs to stop 7 pucks at once?

Why is the hockey rink a rectangle with square corners, is this a bandy game?

Bandy has come up on this site a few times in the last few years. I actually found out about it through a post on here.

Yeah, just came on this site this year so I must have missed that. The only reason I know what Bandy is is because Zetterberg slammed the sport in a quote a couple of years ago.

I remember the corners at the old Peterborough Memorial Aud being so sharp that the zamboni couldn’t make it all the way in. They had to send out a guy with a garden watering can to flood the corners.

My interpretation was “Well of course the Bruins scored all those goals, apparently the Leafs were playing with 4 skaters and had pulled their goalie”

I’m more concerned that the Bruins’ player is occasionally operating with three skates. Is he some kind of monster?

I like the detail of there actually being seven pucks in the net.

by James Mirtle on Nov 17, 2011 5:44 PM EST reply actions

only 2 of them appear to be inside the net
to me it just looks like the Bruins player is that one kid who REALLY liked to clean up the pucks and put them in the bucket at the end of practice after everyone shot the pucks at the net
