Game Day: Diving Habs vs. Bruins
Bruins are coming off a big win against the Penguins last night where Shawn Thornton stole the show.
Habs are coming off a shutout against the Canucks few days back.
Last time these two teams met it was pre-season. Bruins rocked the Habs and made Montreal fans boo Carey Price. That was just pre-season.
Fans will be out in full force tonight, looking for any opportunity to start "CA-REY!" and "Carey is a girl's name" chants. We've been priming our pipes for tonight's game. Section 306 will be rocking.
A win would put the Bs on top of the Northeast Divison.
DOY friend, DWatson783 was on fire with his Bruins-Habs tweets. He's pumped.
After the jump... we smooch more Shawn Thornton ass, game day links and an awesome Bruins-Habs rivalry video... We're hoping the Bruins can ride last night's high with a great effort against their rivals and with a packed Garden. Other alternative is they have a hangover from last night's big comeback. Better not happen.
Points for anyone who brings a sign like this to the Garden. Double points for This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. of you with it in the Garden.
For the love of god, don't start any "USA!" chants today. It's not the fucking Olympics and 3/4 of the Bruins are from Canada. And don't use "It's Veteran's Day" as your cloak for being a tool. Applaud the vets on hand, boo the hell out of the Habs, but keep it classy.
It's an Original 6 match-up which can mean one thing -- Rancourt Fistpumps galore.
Shawn "Wayne" Thornton is trending in Boston. Who knew we'd see the day?
Haggs got some video of Thornton after the game last night. His 'stache is looking pretty good.
