Ok everyone, after me: breath in, breath out.

We know what today is, we know what happened last year, those with sense aren't even thinking about it in relation to tonight.  Should you come across someone who feels that it's relevant and that the same thing could/will happen...just give'em the old Batman treatment:


You're probably going to want to do yourself a favor and stay away for any sorts of sports radio today.  We're going to try to get a live chat going, but once again most of us have tickets to the game, so it's still uncertian.   

After the jump...you know the drill Add a comment

Oh man. This column is usually about me being negative over the stupidest things, but since Saturday I haven't really had that opportunity. What is this feeling that is flowing through my like cheese whiz on a bed of steak? What is going on here? What is this upward contortion my mouth has been prone to over the past five days or so? A smile? What the fuck is a smile? Okay, I'm about to blow your minds:

The Bruins have been playing good hockey lately.

So the Bruins are up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Flyers. Since that win I've heard two things from Bruins fans:

1.  Bring on the Lightning because it's sweep city
2.  The Bruins are going to collapse again

Um, how about neither of these things happen? For fans to go from one extreme to the other is a little ridiculous don't you think? It's like being on a cruise and hitting a rough patch of water and having half the boat scream "Everything is okay people!" and the other half of the boat screaming "GET ON THE LIFE JACKETS!". My advice to Bruins fans is the same I would say to the team, take it game by game. If the Bruins lose Game 4 on Friday it's not the end of the world and it doesn't signify another Philadelphia "down 3-0 historic comeback".

The Bruins are firing on all cylinders in this series against Phialdelphia. They've beaten the Flyers in every facet of the game, outside the terrible power play, but good news on that front later. They've outscored the Flyers (obviously, they're up 3-0), they've out hit the Flyers, they've played much better defense than the Flyers and Tim Thomas has been much, much better than the Boubobeighton monster in net for Philadelphia. It was even more evident how good the Bruins were against the Flyers last night when Brad Marchand was skating around and hitting players who were much bigger than him (insert Marchand is small joke nnnnnnnnow). Everything seems to be flowing like it should and that's good for this team.


Johnny Boychuk eats Philadelphia souls for breakfast...

Here we are Bruins fans. It has been a long road, but for the second year in a row the B's are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals. Just another step on the road to redemption.

Some of you out there are saying wah wah but last year they were up 3-0 and they lost wah wah. Get the fudge outta here. Now. That was last year. New year, new attitude.


The best possible thing that could've happened to the Bruins was that first round seven game series against Montreal. It mentally and physically prepared them for the grind of these playoffs. It taught them how to win, how to close. How to go for the throat.

Look at the Bruins. Look at how they came out and put their foot on the Flyers throat and kept it there. By the time the Flyers lucked out and beat Tim "God" Thomas for their only goal the game was well in hand. This is a different Bruins team. Maybe Philly wins Game 4 for pride. Maybe. But the Bruins are playing their best hockey of the season at the right time. Don't even come at us with the collapse word. Go watch baseball or something if that is your attitude.

We're not going to talk about last year here. That has been beat to death. The Bruins have a chance to clinch Friday. Your productiviy is going to be below zero the next couple of days. You're going to watch Marchand and Boychuk literally destroy Philly over and over until the puck drops for Game 4. You're going to watch each one of Thomas' 52 saves in Game 2.

Don't get cocky, but get excited. The Bruins appear to have finally learned their lesson from past failures. That doesn't guarantee a Cup or an Eastern Conference Finals win. But they are giving us more reason to be excited than they have in years. Going to be a long, long couple of days.

After the jump.... Thomas is a god, Marchand and Boychuk will destroy you and Bruins love faceoffs.....

Props to Sean T. who came up with the YES WE CAN idea. Also, happy birthday, dude! Add a comment

We regret to inform you that we will not be hosting a chat this evening. Purrgeron is off covering a Philly-NBC wedding and the Days of Y'Orr staff will be attending tonight's game.

We f'ing love these chats but we couldn't turn down free playoff tickets, especially against the Flyers.

However, we encourage those of you who usually participate in our chats to use the comments section of this post to get together and do what you usually do in the chat! We'll be back in action for Game Four. Here's to hoping the Bruins are up 3-0 after tonight's game! Add a comment

Boston's back home with a 2-0 lead. Not gonna lie. We're a little surprised by that. We figure it'd be 1-1 heading back to Boston. And the way the seconed game went it could've easily been 1-1 series.

Bs have a chance to put their skates at the Flyers throats tonight with a win. If Boston thought the Flyers came out hard Monday night, they'll be coming out twice as hard tonight. A 3-0 hole would be devestating. Sure they came back from it last year but we're not sure lightning can strike twice for Filthadelphia. Not with Thomas in net.


New Bear ad outside the Garden. Last year it was Philly girl's facial hair. This year the Bear attacks Philadelphia's health. 


Oh that zany bear.

Rumor floating around that Richards was trash talking McQuaid while he was sprawled on the ice. Wouldn't surprise us. Richards is a douche.

We're hoping Darth Quaider comes out tonight to dim lights and the Vader theme song. Maybe some special effects, pyro. Whole shebang.

Rumor also floating around that Boucher is in net to start the game. Flyers coach hasn't made an announcement on who'll be starting the second period though. *rimshot*


After the jump... more preview stuff...

New video popped up on BostonBruins.com recently about the famous (or infamous?) old school Bruins jacket that has been passed around the locker room more than Elisha Cuthbert in the NHL. It's been going to whoever shined the most that particular game.

King of the moment, if you will.

That jacket is a thing of beauty. Glad to see that Ference not only recycles soda cans, but also old hockey jackets.


Love how it looked uglier online. Visachi?  Of course.

Go Bruins. Add a comment

Listening to VERSUS verbally fellate JVR was painful to listen to last night, especially since Thomas was putting on a clinic and no one in the VERSUS booth seemed to notice (or care). Lame.

Anyways, it made us yearn (oddly enough) for Jack Edwards and his crazy rants. He might be an insane lunatic , but he's our insane lunatic.

Someone had the brilliant idea of taking his Canadien Royalty speech after Game 7 and turn it into a video.


Huge props to Houses of the Hockey for this. Be sure to check our their post to get their take. Add a comment

Patrice Purrgeron here with an eye in the sky and an ear to the ground looking to keep the readers of Days of Y'Orr informed with any and all information. Ah Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, the birthplace of freedom, cheese steaks and throwing batteries at athletes. Only in a city where a fake athlete is king will the citizens boo a magical person like Santa Clause but cheer for Charles Barkley and Mike Vick. After watching the television love affair between one James van Riemsdyk and Versus, I flew to Philadelphia to track down the couple to get an interview to find out what was going on. The readers of this website need to be informed and who am I to deny them of this information?

My trip first began at the Logan International Airport where I was greeted by the lovely people of TSA. At first, I had no issues with these lovely chaps until they asked me where I was going. Once I mentioned Philadelphia, their disgusted and horrified looks said it all. I stepped through the metal detector, which went off because of my highly stylish collar that I forgot to take off. Once the alarm went off, I was surrounded by five or six TSA members asking multiple questions. I felt violated, but not before the TSA member said it was time for a pat down.


Once the pat down was over and I felt violated, the TSA official looked at me and said "This is nothing compared to Philadelphia." Foreshadowing? Possibly.

After the jump, is it always sunny in Philadelphia? Purrgeron finds out...
