What a night. You could feel the excitement from the second the puck dropped. Even when Philly tied it, there was no panic in the crowd. Every single Bruins fan at the TD Garden and at home knew the Bruins had this. This team wasn't losing that game. No chance.

The Redemption Tour rolls on. The Bruins swept the cowardly Flyers. Tampa is looming. In the Eastern Confernce Finals.


How good does it feel to say that? The Bruins are in the Eastern Conference Finals. Sure, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much if you don't win a Cup. We don't care. Just like you don't care. This is just another step on the path to the Cup and we couldn't be more excited.

The last time the Bruins were in this position the Days of Y'Orr staff's average age was less than 10. Some of our readers weren't even born the last time the Bruins got this far. How crazy is that to think about?

We didn't have a recap up last night because we were too excited. As much as we hate Philadelphia, we were just way too pumped up to sit down and trash them. The Bruins did the talking for us anyway. The faces on the cowardly Flyers in the hand shake line said more than we ever could. The Bruins dominated. 

Well, we can still make fun of Scott Hartnell. What a coward. Throw a punch at Chara then immediately turtle. Still the toughest team in the league Philly fans? 


He'll have plenty of time to get all those perms with his free time now.

After the jump..... bitter sweet victory but we're still excited.....

Ference said the Montreal series was emotional; the Flyers series was business like.

Boston gave Filthadelphia the business every shift of every game. They had something to prove this post-season. They had a chip on their shoulder.

Bruins outscored the Flyers 20-7.

They busted out the brooms.


Bring on Tampa.

It was love at first sight. Yes, from the very second the two laid their eyes on each other they knew they were destined to be together. Their fairytail romance began with coy flirting during stoppages of play or whenever the younger lover would needlessly elbow someone in the head in an attempt to impress his balding, useless love interest.

Things escalated when the turtle headed announcer began to verbally fellate his young love interest on the air. He was the best captain to EVER PLAY THE GAME EVER Pierre would tell audiences. It did not matter if the Flyers were down by 10 goals or if the apple of his eye, Mike Richards, was again disappearing in the playoffs. All Pierre could do was completely ignore the other team and talk about Mike Richards and the Flyers.

NBC, partially owned by Comcast who also owns the Flyers, gave Pierre a platform to continually profess his love by cotinually letting him cover Flyers games despite the borderline pornographic comments spewing from his mouth despite the fact that Pierre looks like a busted condom whenever he wears a turtle neck.

Finally, Mike Richards couldn't stand the verbal fellatio anymore and gave into his heart's greatest desire. During an afternoon game on NBC in late fall, Richards approached Pierre, who was doing his usual "Between Mike Richards' Ass" segments for NBC. The two locked eyes and without saying a word they embraced and kissed. "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind."

NBC and Versus showed Pierre and Mike's love allowing it to blossoming before our very eyes.

A week ago today, the two lovers finally made a life long commitment to each other and tied the knot, with the entire event sponsored by NBC and Versus, who are not bias towards the Flyers at all despite being partially owned by Comcast. Nope, not at all.

We were "fortunate" enough to be invited to the wedding and now we bring you exclusive coverage of the Richards-McGuire wedding!


After the jump..... Mike and Pierre wed and we burn your eyes with terrible, terrible photos from the events.....

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.

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
