Yep, teamed up with Bottom Line Apparel once more for another Bruins playoff t-shirt. This is becoming quite the collection.

Here's the deal:

Rob at BLA really wants to print these shirts but he'll only do it if he gets 25 shirts pre-ordered and if people want said shirt by Game 1 on Saturday they need to pre-order today. If he doesn't get enough orders he'll credit everyone's account.


The shirts are $15. Be sure to give us credit so we can afford to buy Purrgeron the good kity litter.

Order here.

Welcome to the Days of Y'Orr Round Table discussion. This is a new, semi-regular feature we're going to try out in which the DOY crew discuss important -- and sometimes trivial -- matters of hockey.

This is the third edition of our round table discussion. The second edition was a debate who should start in the playoffs between Michael Ryder and Tyler Seguin. Clearly we were wrong. We all wanted Seguin to play over Ryder and Ryder came up huge in the Montreal series. Our first edition was talking about Marc Savard with his rash of concussion issues.

---

Justin: I'm ok with either. Both could use the experience; both won't replace Bergeron. Caron is more gritty and a better in front net presence but Seguin has better play making skills. Question is: Which will Peverly and Ryder benefit more from? Ryder's not a playmaker, Peverly can be sometimes. Neither are really net-front presence types either. I'll go with Seguin since I was asking him to be in for Ryder prior to Game 1 of the first series, but if Seguin starts shitting on the ice, Caron's a nice replacement, too. Answer: Tyler Seguin

Robb: Seguin to start, no question.  In terms of pure skill, he's better than Caron and has played in 74 NHL games, compared to Caron's 23.  The biggest X-Factor is that Caron is a better 3rd line style player, so I'm going to hope and pray for some of that wonderful chemistry that Ryder and Seguin had earlier in the season..



Caron should probably be ready to go though since the slightest mistake could get him pulled.  Either way though, I'm hoping Bergy only misses a game or two. Answer: Tyler Seguin


Jon: Personally I'd rather see Caron. And that isn't a knock on Seguin. I think Seguin will be a great NHL player. But Tampa Bay defenders are blocking shots at ridiculous rates and Roloson is doing his best Tim Thomas impression. Caron is the type of player that is hard to get the puck away from and the type of player that will go to the front of the net and make life miserable for opposing goalies. I think the B's are gonna need plenty of dirty goals to get by in this series and Caron is more suited for that. But who knows. Maybe Seguin comes out hungry and on fire and amazes us all. Answer: Jordan Caron

Greg: Give me Caron. I like Seguin a lot. I wanted to start him over Michael Ryder before the playoffs began. I think the kid brings speed and skill to a line that already, well, has speed (Peverley) and skill (Ryder). I think what the Bruins are going to need is a little more grit to get past the Lightning in this round. Much like Jon said, this isn't a knock on Seguin at all, but he's not really willing to get into the dirty areas to retrieve the puck and he certainly wont sit in front of the net. Caron has a little nasty in him (that's what she said) and it would bode well in this series. Stick him around the net and let him tip pucks in. Seguin doesn't have the balls to do it. Answer: Jordan Caron

So there you have it. The DOY staff is split right down the middle. What do you think? Is it time to give the #2 overall pick his due or let Caron play?

There were "reports" last week that Marc Savard would be attending the Bruins' home games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers. When the reports came out, social media websites were set on fire by positive chatter from Bruins fans hoping that Savy would "come back home". Some questioned whether these reports were correct, whether he was in Boston for testing or whether he was actually there to be with the team during their domination of Philly. When game time rolled around, the questions were answered as Marc Savard was nowhere to be seen or heard from.


Days of Y'Orr was a little inquisitive of where Marc Savard was so the five of us, yes Purrgeron included, hit up our state of the art GPS finding system and located where Marc Savard was. These pictures may shock you.

After the jump, where has Savard been!?

Oh God. I remember the first time I saw it. I was staring into my television, wide-eyed and mouth agape as I followed its movement with the precision of a lion stalking a gazelle. I was agast at it's complexity, at the raw emotion that poured out of it. Every inch of me needed to touch it, to hear it's story. I can only imagine the tales that could be heard from that magnificent facial feature that lesser men would kill for. I had to know how it got there. I had to know how this beacon of manliness and masculinity, oozing of proverbial machismo that would make Razor Ramon cower in fear, came to be. I sat there, pondering at what could have happened. The list that is about to be presented to you is:

THE TOP 5 SITUATIONS IN WHICH GUY BOUCHER GOT THAT SCAR OF AWESOMENESS (in no particular order)

5. Happy Gilmore Successfully Cut Someone With His Skate

The year was 1996 and Guy Boucher was a year away from becoming an assistant coach with the McGill Redmen. Guy was always a resilient fellow and thought he could have one last at making it in the big leagues. He had to live out his dream of becoming a superstar in the NHL. Guy suited up one last time and tried out for his local club, but ran into a guy by the name of Happy Gilmore. Happy wasn't very happy at all. Once Happy found out that he didn't make the cut, the next thing cut was Guy's face.

4. Lost His Fight To Simba

That's what you get for killing someone's father, dickhead.

3. Colombian Drug Bust Gone Wrong

It was only a matter of time before the FBI called Guy to use his badassery in Colombia. Those guys traffic drugs like Tim Thomas eats cheeseburgers the day before a game. For those who don't catch my drift, that's a lot. A lot of baby powder bro. I'm getting off track here. In 1987, Colombia was producing a shitload of cocaine and smuggling it into the United States, which was then cooked and made into crack*.

*I'm completely bullshitting, I have no idea the cocaine to crack method.

Because of the implications it could cause the United States, the US used Guy's ninja-like stealth to get into Colombia and bust the drug lords. Unfortunately while in a struggle with the great Czar or whatever they're called down there, his parrot flew down and cut Guy's face. There are rumors that the movie "Scarface" is based off of these tales, but instead of Colombia, it's based in Cuba. And instead of being white, he's Cuban. And instead of being in the FBI, he's poor. You get my drift.

2. He Did It Himself


Who wouldn't want to be the stand-in for Leo from Grease? Dude was the leader of the Scorpions, drove a sick fucking ride and almost got it in with Rizzo.

1. Wrong end of the knife fight from Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video

Look, living in the 80's was not an easy time. Women wore jackets that had shoulder pads than JS Giguere when he won the Stanley Cup, Rocky was fighting in victory and falling to such lows the Detroit Tigers felt bad for him. Lionel Ritchie was making straight men cry tears of unfathomable sadness and Wham! was asking to be woken up before you go, go.

A man can get lost in the 80's and I believe Guy was one of those lost souls. I'm not advocating to tie yourself to a complete stranger and have a knife fight that works strangely well to the guitar rift of "Beat It", but when an asshole in an all white suite and black Aviator sunglasses talks mad shit about your girlfriend's overuse of Aqua Net hair spray, you have no choice.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure it was #1. Add a comment

We weren't even sperm yet when this happened, so we can't give the "I remember when..." speech, but it's still great to watch and remember the blog's namesake.


Orr's the definition of a PMD. The goddamn unicorn of the NHL.

Here's to hoping more magical moments will happen for the Bruins this postseason.

Bruins swept Philly, and we're still pumped about moving on to the Conference Finals.  Life is good.

There are a lot of story lines that go into a playoff series, whether it's Thomas dying for our sins of Looch getting his groove back.  But there are a lot that go unnoticed, which is a shame since they can be just as important to an hockey team's sucess.

Or at least just as awesome.

We recently got a letter sent to us, there was no return address, but the story it tells is the things legends are made of...one legend to be more specific.  After looking at the seal on the envelope, it's wasn't hard to guess who it was.


After the jump, we open up the letter and take a look.
