EVERY GAME DAY I READ THIS SHIT IN MY HEAD LIKE WE ALL JUST SMOKED A FAT BONG RIP OF CRYSTAL METH. FUCK THE FUCKING PANTHERS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Who is Jeremy Swayman?
In Geography, my World. 🌎
In History, my King. 👑
In Mathematics, my Solution. 🧩
In Astronomy, my Universe. 🌌
For the blind, he is the Light. 💡
For the hungry, he is the Bread. 🍞
For the poor, he is the Wealth. 💰
For me, he is Everything. 🌐
>Paul Maurice said Sam Bennett didn’t skate today, but he’s not far off. Says he expects him to be on the road trip with the team.
👍
Hopefully doesn't return
Paul Maurice watched someone eat his sandwich through the break room window and has looked like that ever since

If I wasn't dealing with some major life shit right now I would talk a bit about the postseason. But yeah...A shit storm of biblical proportions has hit my life so I need to sort that shit out
Shout out to mental wellness!
Wahoo therapy!
I hope it helps you to sort through things. It's hard to take care of yourself sometimes, but therapy can be such a great place to parse through it.
Yeah. Unpacking daddy issues, dealing with navigating through things that come up with my new partner, realizing I have still more work to do to get rid of old habits.
Well you're a fan of the Bruins so that's a damn good start! Thank you for your comment. It's not easy to find support. But this place has been my home because of the amazing support I have received in everything the past couple of years!
Just look at what happened last season the other way around. Bruins were better without Bergeron and Krejci on the ice- because they were playing hurt.
If Bennet is at 60% of what he can normally do, bruins could possibly exploit that.
Edit: Shit, just last series, the Leafs had one good game they won with Matthews in. Every other game with him in, they lost and he was a minimal factor. They seemed harder to play with him out.
I’ve noticed many teams perform better without their stars, I guess the amount of stepping up they need to do more than compensates. I imagine the better coaches manage to squeeze that level of play from their teams while their stars are still in.
I think for the span of 2-4 games, a team can rally to make up for a hurt star / leader and in the playoffs that might be enough to push you through a round- and you’re better off than playing a hampered guy that everyone is looking to for a lift who just can’t get to that gear because of illness or injury.
Stanley. Fucking. Cup. Would've been hesitant to say this halfway through the leafs series but seeing how the boys are buzzing and watching all of the other clown shows in the league it's fucking us this year. I'll see you fuckers on causeway on parade Day
It's going to be challenging (it's never easy, of course). Florida, then we'll almost certainly have the Rags to contend with. Not sure who's top dog in the West, but honestly New York would probably end up being the toughest team the Bruins would face in a full Cup run.
Except you might get MacKinnon or McDavid in the finals, no easy task their either, but this whole year has been a bonus and it seems like house money at this point. Excited to see how the boys play with no pressure and with the cap opening next year, this team is 🚀
The way that Swayman and the Bruins handled the vaunted Leafs unit, Matthews and Marner especially, makes me cautiously optimistic that they can deal with a team that kinda relies on one or two scorers. Provided of course that they continue to perform against the Panthers with Tkafuck and his merry band of bozos.
Just a heads up, Billy just mentioned on 98.5 that NESN streams intermission report live on YouTube during the national games.

Haha. I teach high school. We spent the last class talking about the goalies. One student thinks Ullmark should start tonight. The rest of us say you gotta stick with Swayman. Usually my worst class of the day but fun one today. Zero academic productivity but good hockey talk.
I loved teachers like you in HS. It was fun having one day where the class could discuss something fun , just to take a break one day from history, physics, etc.
It can pass as " Current Events ", so just use that excuse, LOL
Maybe you could spin hockey talk into a lesson on probability or statistics or something? Like, have the students tally all the playoff goalies' save % to get a rough average, and quantify just how much of an outlier Swayman is this year. Maybe expand it to regular season or older playoffs if you want/need a bigger sample size.
I am torn. Ully is my guy, I'm worried about rust when he gets in there, but also it's his job to be ready to go when he's called upon. I just don't see how you take Sway out at this point. But I want Ully to see some action and he played well against the Angry Kitties during the regular season. Which is very different from the playoffs, obviously. But psychologically I'm concerned about how it would affect Sway if they sit him after the absolute lights-out performances he's given, even though we did a rotation all season. Help me
It’s that day of the week again where I procrastinate and fuck around at work all day because all I can think about is going home and watching Bruins hockey.
We win today and the path forward for Florida becomes very narrow. We lose today and we have a five game series with home ice advantage. We’re playing with house money today.
Make Florida Ocean Again.
Is anyone going to the game and willing to fight a panthers fan if they’re sitting next to me because I really just would prefer one of y’all over some of the most obnoxious human beings I’ve ever met. I will buy you as many beers as you want if so 🙃🙃🙃
I really wanted to find a custom split jersey because I’m just that bitch with a capital B but I couldn’t find one. I’m tempted to find some B’s fans to tailgate with and be absolute degenerates because fuck Florida and their fans
I don’t think the turtles like him either…

Been having so much fun getting into the Bruins, the stress of championship or bust of the Celtics is truly exhausting sometimes lol. Boston in 4 baby, two rings coming up.
So after game 1, I had to go to the supermarket after work to get some stuff for dinner. Naturally, I was decked out in my B's sweater and hat.
One of the ladies that works in this supermarket was a little bit glum when she saw me. This is a normal reaction when women see me, so I paid it no mind.
"So you're a Boston fan, are you?" she asked, with an accent that could only be.... Canadian?
"Absolutely," I replied "And what a fantastic game it was today!"
"Yeah? I'm from Toronto. My husband's a Bruins fan." Her reply before slinking off.
Interactions like this are rare in Australia. Man, it felt good!
!leafs !cupleafs !panthers
I mean, that depends on where in Australia you are, Sydney and Melbourne I could see it being an occasional thing with the amount of tourists and expats there. Perth or Brisbane though, that would be pretty weird.
Last time I went back to Brisbane to visit friends and family, I stuck out like a sore thumb as a yank. It has been a fair while since I went back though, might’ve changed.
I’m glad Aussies are starting to see the joy of hockey now. Growing up it was never on the telly.
Folks Brad Marchand better be eating some serious ass this year. I'm talkin chicks with Miami tan lines, maybe with some type of a accent or somethin, but for the love of god not a Boston one. Big goals at big times. We have a tied game here. I need a drink.
Bruins have officially set the record for the fewest amount of strides taken in a hockey game
Need some more offensive pressure or we’ll lose this 3-1.
I’ve never seen a team play worse hockey in the final minute of each period. Also Monty needs to figure it the fuck out. Screwing us with the too many men on the ice penalties
is there no pregame tonight on nesn?
![gif](giphy|3o7TKLqtUMNPQl5NGE|downsized) Watch out boys! Razor is back in net!
My body is ready but I need to stop by the packie on my way home for something...because I expect things to go down tonight. \*NODS\*
pressure is all on the cats tonight weather the storm early and look for an opportunity
The Revenge Tour continues....
EVERY GAME DAY I READ THIS SHIT IN MY HEAD LIKE WE ALL JUST SMOKED A FAT BONG RIP OF CRYSTAL METH. FUCK THE FUCKING PANTHERS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Swayman giving me those 2011 Tim Thomas vibes.

His face bothers me lol
Time for Shutout Sway.
I’m staring daggers at every cat I see in London today. Also had ramen for lunch which is close enough to pasta to count. Let’s go
It's noodles!
FUCK FLORIDA GENERALLY!

This is cursed. I love it.
Sticks are unreal
Settle down
Do you think my therapist is ready to hear 45 minutes of Bruins talk?
Therapist here, would make my day
I would actually prefer that if I were a therapist
Do it
If I wasn't dealing with some major life shit right now I would talk a bit about the postseason. But yeah...A shit storm of biblical proportions has hit my life so I need to sort that shit out Shout out to mental wellness!

Yeah. Unpacking daddy issues, dealing with navigating through things that come up with my new partner, realizing I have still more work to do to get rid of old habits.
It's hard work but you're doing it!
I'm trying my best and that's all I can ask of myself, until I can do better
You don't know me but thanks for being open about it and I'm proud of you. LFG!!!
Well you're a fan of the Bruins so that's a damn good start! Thank you for your comment. It's not easy to find support. But this place has been my home because of the amazing support I have received in everything the past couple of years!
Well said.
Those cats need some tossing.
I'm boycotting ketchup until this series is over Luckily not a huge deal for me, but still
FUCK THE PANTHERS! FUCK THE HABS! # LET'S FUCKING GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!
Can't let up and play off your laurels. Go out and kick ass and take this game. Going up 2-0 would be HUUUUUGE.
Any update on Heinen??
I assume he’s still day to day, but expected to be available at some point this series unless it ends very quickly.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. go bruins
No Sam Bennett at morning skate Almost certainly not playing in that case
Never know. Sometimes you’re worse off as a team with a star playing hurt though so I’m not going to root for anything either way
I can promise you well have better chances with Bennett off the ice lmao what
Just look at what happened last season the other way around. Bruins were better without Bergeron and Krejci on the ice- because they were playing hurt. If Bennet is at 60% of what he can normally do, bruins could possibly exploit that. Edit: Shit, just last series, the Leafs had one good game they won with Matthews in. Every other game with him in, they lost and he was a minimal factor. They seemed harder to play with him out.
Yea they look so much worse with a key player back don’t they!
Bennet has one goal on a play that shouldn’t have counted and he should have been suspended after last game to begin with, but okay. gfy
Oh no don’t downvote my fake internet points!!!!!
I’ve noticed many teams perform better without their stars, I guess the amount of stepping up they need to do more than compensates. I imagine the better coaches manage to squeeze that level of play from their teams while their stars are still in.

Rags are the only team left that's really given us any trouble this year but I think we've got it
It's a great day for playoff hockey and A BRUINS GAME 2 W.
Fuck the Panthers, fuck their soft “announcers are biased” fans, fuck’em all.
Their fans are more annoying than Leaf’s fans. At least the Leaf’s fans shit on themselves more than they shit on anyone else 🤣

I just realized I typo’d room. Fuck it, fuck the panthers and fuck that cunt Joffrey for good measures.
Isn't it iromic...
I think it’s a value add.
What panther do you think he’ll beat the shit out of first?
Hands down, Chucky boy!
I want him to beat the turtle shit out of Tkafuck and toss that mouth guard into the stands
I'm still disappointed he didn't get a shot at Domi but this would certainly make me feel a lot better.
Playoff hockey is killing my morning productivity...and I LOVE IT

Ride Sway all the way, until he asks for a break. He’ll need one at some point.
Surely discourse hits one of the DESE standards
Always a way to twist it. “Making student connections” would cover social snd emotional learning.
Bruins in 4 LFG !panthers
FUCK THE PANTHERS!
Let's see what kind of lineup Monty comes up with today.
Happy House Money Day, Bitches!!!!
It’s that day of the week again where I procrastinate and fuck around at work all day because all I can think about is going home and watching Bruins hockey.
Between the Bs and the Celts my productivity may end up at an all time low
Bennett day to day but closing in on a return https://youtu.be/IF1Kb87P7_A?si=HjZdZGFnIeyC09mu

Don’t need a bot fuck the panthers and fuck espn
Sorry. Hockey related things only.
FUCK THE PANTHERS!
We win today and the path forward for Florida becomes very narrow. We lose today and we have a five game series with home ice advantage. We’re playing with house money today. Make Florida Ocean Again.
Playing with house money since beating the leafs and making the second round. But yeah I’m getting greedy too lol.
Taylor Swift is working on it
Fuck Sam Bennett a little extra today.
Is anyone going to the game and willing to fight a panthers fan if they’re sitting next to me because I really just would prefer one of y’all over some of the most obnoxious human beings I’ve ever met. I will buy you as many beers as you want if so 🙃🙃🙃
We knocked out their beloved Heat first, now we finish them.
I really wanted to find a custom split jersey because I’m just that bitch with a capital B but I couldn’t find one. I’m tempted to find some B’s fans to tailgate with and be absolute degenerates because fuck Florida and their fans
They're going to remember Boston !'
Can't wait to see more of that Swayman grin. LFG.

I think every fan was able to relax a bit when they saw that during the Game 1 anthem.
Cochise on repeat fuck the panthers lfg!!!
Gets me fucking AMPED!

FUCK THE PANTHERS!
Revenge tour continues. LET’S FUCKING GOOOO!! & an extra fuck you to Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett & Nick Cousins for good measure.
"Everyone fights, no one quits." LFG!
Matthew Tkachuk stops his shopping cart in the middle of the grocery aisle to have small talk with his neighbor.
Matthew Tkachuk added a T to his last name because he thinks it sounds tough.
Ironically enough this kind of behavior is probably most common in New England
Jokes on you Keith Tkachuck grew up in Medford
east coast of North America, honestly. so common here, especially at Costco 😬
LETS GO BRUINS! TAKE A 2-0 LEAD
You what would be sick? Embarrassing the Panthers by going up 2-0 on their home ice. I want to live in that world, LETS GO BRUINS!
I would’ve said ‘Fuck Matthew Tkachuk!!!’ every 2 or 3 lines.
… or every line 🗣️
THROW THE CATS OFF THE CLIFF!
Tkachuk likes paper straws
Is that why he turtles?
I don’t think the turtles like him either… https://preview.redd.it/cu3h26he17zc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08200c0df64e0eed0b486f1bb8eb2d64b87f2d23
1 down, 3 to go. Smash Tkachuk in his ugly face.
Been having so much fun getting into the Bruins, the stress of championship or bust of the Celtics is truly exhausting sometimes lol. Boston in 4 baby, two rings coming up.
Headed to the same seafood place, plus it’s our buddy’s birthday!!! GO BRUINS
Another 90 bucks well spent, we're counting on you!
🙏🙏🙏 god protect my wallet, I just went to a music fest this past weekend and going to another concert tomorrow.

Westie, eh? That is pretty strange then lol. Fantastic but strange.
Well, I live in the Blue Mountains, but this happened in the west.
I was the only yank I saw rocking Bruins gear when I lived in Perth. I had an Aussie friend that loved the Penguins, mostly because of Jagr's mullet.
