: WEEK#1: (played 9/20/97)BRUINS DOWSE THE FLAMES...BUT KINDA LIKE USING ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING CHILDPROOF LIGHTERS, IT WASN'T AS EASY AS YOU WOULD THINK.... RECENT TRADE ACQUISITION SCOTT SCHAUFFEL MADE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE TO JAMES LICK IN A QUITE WHILE. HE LOOKED WELL RESTED AND PLAYED A GOOD GAME FOR THE GUYS IN GOLD. IT WAS A TIGHT GAME AT THE END OF THE FIRST PERIOD WITH THE SCORE TIED AT ONES... BUT THEN IN THE SECOND, THE BRUINS HAD A BREAK DOWN... LED BY GOALIE IAN HOCKING WHO GAVE UP 5 GOALS THAT PERIOD. AT THE END OF TWO IT WAS BRUINS 3, FLAMES 6... BUT THE THE THIRD WAS ALL ABOUT THE BRUINS..HE SHOOTS HE SCORES, HE SHOOTS HE SCORES, HE SHOOTS HE SCORES, AND SO ON AND SO ON... THE BRUINS HAD A 5-0 THIRD PERIOD TO PULL OUT THE VICTORY... IT WAS A GOOD WIN FOR THE BRUINS (BUT ANY WIN IS A GOOD WIN) BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET DOWN ON THEMSELFS OR THEIR BRUIN TEAMATES DESPITE GETTING A GOOD WOOPIN IN THE 2ND... THEY JUST STAYED WITH THE GAME PLAN AND GAVE IT ALL THEY HAD... SOMETIMES, HARD WORK PAYS OFF
FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 8, FLAMES 6


: WEEK#2: (played 09/20/97) IN ANOTHER SHAKEY DEFENSIVE GAME...THE BRUINS FALL TO THE UNDEFEATED LOULESS LANDSHARKS...FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW THE BRUINS TRAILED 3-6 AFTER TWO PERIODS, BUT UNLIKE LAST WEEK THEY COULDN'T MUSTER UP ANY THIRD PERIOD SCORING....OVERALL THE BRUINS PLAYED A GOOD HARD FOUGHT GAME. BUT, LIKE LAST WEEK MOST OF THE OPPONENTS POINTS WERE UNASSISTED GOALS OFF OF BRUIN TURNOVERS IN THIER OWN ZONE...ANOTHER POOR SHOWING IN NET BY IAN HOCKING DIDN'T HELP.; NEXT WEEK THE BRUINS TAKE ON THE KILLERWHALES @9:00...IN A GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE BOTH TEAMS COULD BE SPORTING LIGHT ROSTERS. CONGRATS TO JOHN WILSON.
FINAL SCORE: LANDSHARKS 6, BRUINS 3


: WEEK#3: (played 10/04/97) AND THE CROWD CHANTS: "EEEDDY,EEEDDY,EEEDDY" AS THE BRUINS BEAT THE "POWERHOUSE" KILLERWHALES. LAST YEARS WHALES GOALIE, ED PARSONS LED THE BRUINS SCORING WITH 4 (COUNT THEM ONE, TWO, HAT TRICK, FOUR) GOALS AGAINST HIS OLD TEAM AND EX-BRUIN, NOW WHALES GOALIE RICH DEMING.; THE BRUINS PLAYED FUCKING GREAT, AND THEY DID IT WITHOUT THE HELP OF MIKE PETERSON OR SCOTT SCHAUFFEL, BOTH OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND. THE BRUINS MOVED SCOOTER WARDYNSKI TO D FOR HELP, AND WELL I GUESS IT WORKED BECAUSE THE WHALES ONLY HAD TWO GOALS THE WHOLE GAME. TOM NEAD ALSO PLAYED A GREAT DEFENSIVE GAME IN FRONT OF GOALIE IAN HOCKING, HIS HUSTLE SURELY SAVED IAN FROM FACING 2 ON NONE BREAKAWAYS A FEW TIMES DURING THE GAME. HATS OFF TO TOM.; THE WHOLE TEAM PLAYED HARD WE WON...GO FIGURE.; FRANK TARZANIN PROVED ONCE AGAIN THAT IT NEVER HURTS TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH HIS FOURTH GOAL THE SEASON.
FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 5, WHALES 2


: WEEK#4: (played 10/11/97) CHALK UP ANOTHER W FOR THE BRUINS.... I'LL TAKE A UGLY WIN OVER A LOSS ANYDAY AND THIS WAS AN UGLY WIN FOR THE BRUINS. THE BOYS IN GOLD PLAYED LIKE SHIT FOR 55 MINUTES AND THEY PLAYED GREAT FOR THE FINAL 5 TO PULL AHEAD OF THE UNDER MANNED RINKRATS SQUAD. THE RINKRATS HAD ONLY ONE SUB AND FIRST TIME GOALIE CRAIG FISK IN NET. MAYBE THE BRUINS THOUGHT THAT THE RATS WOULD JUST ROLL OVER AND EXCEPT A LOSS, BUT THEY PLAYED A GREAT GAME AND HAD THIER WAY WITH BRUIN GOALIE IAN HOCKING, SCORING 4 IN A ROW IN THE SECOND PERIOD...AT ITS WORST THE BRUINS WERE DOWN 6-2, BUT TWORDS THE END, THE RATS POOR TURN OUT FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO THEM... LEGS GOT TIRED, PLAYERS GOT FRUSTRATED AND ALOT OF GOALS GOT SCORED.
FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 9, RATS 7


: WEEK#5: (played10/18/97)WOOOPS.....WHAT THE .......HUH? THE BRUINS FALL TO THE SEALS (OF ALL PEOPLE) THIS WEEK. IF YOU WERE AT JAMES LICK AND SAW THE BRUINS-SEALS MATCHUP... YOU SAW A HORRIFIC ATTEMPT AT HOCKEY BY THE BRUINS. THE GUYS IN GOLD DIDN'T PERFORM UP TO THE SEALS LEVEL OF PLAY....AND IF YOUV'E SEEN ANY SEALS GAMES THIS YEAR... YOU'D KNOW THAT LEVEL ISN'T EXACTLY SKY HIGH...ITS BECOMING MORE APPERENT THAT THE BRUINS NEED TO FOCUS ON THIER ROOKIE FORWARDS PLAY AND THE ROOKIES KNOWLEDGE OF B.A.S.H. RULES... MIKE PETERSON HAD A STELLAR 5 HOLE GOAL ON SEAL GOALIE STEVE PATIEL (FROM HIS OWN ZONE) WAVED OFF ON AN OFFSIDES CALL. NUFF SAID.; ONCE AGAIN THE BRUIN D PLAYED AS EXPECTED... SOLID. AND CONSIDERING HOW OUT OF SINK THE TEAM PLAYED IT WAS A GOOD EFFORT BY THE D AND GOALIE IAN HOCKING TO HOLD THE SEALS TO ONLY FOUR GOALS.; ON THE OTHER END, THE BRUINS HAD ONLY 1 GOAL... NOW I WISH THE WAS ENOUGH TO WIN IN B.A.S.H., BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ...IT AIN'T.; FINAL SCORE: SEALS 4, BRUINS 1; THE LOSS BRINGS THE BRUINS TO 3-2, OUT OF A WOULD BE 2 WAY TIE FOR FIRST PLACE AND INTO A 3-WAY TIE FOR SECOND WITH THE WHALES AND THE FLAMING CHERRY BOMBS.
NEXT WEEK THE BRUINS PLAY @ 9:00 AGAINST THE FIRST PLACE LANDSHARKS


: WEEK#6: (played 3-1-98) SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHUTOUT...... THE BRUINS WIN THE REGULAR SEASON CUP IN THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR IN A 2-0 WIN OVER THE BOMBS/FLAMES......IT WAS A GREAT GAME BY THE BRUINS.. GREAT D, GREAT GOALTENDING AND GREAT OFFENSE ...WHAT A GREAT TEAM....; THE BOMBS PLAYED HARD THOUGH... IT SHOULD BE A GOOD SERIES WHEN THE TWO TEAMS MEET IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.; IT WILL BE FUN TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TOM NEAD AND MIKEY P ARE ADDED TO THE EQUATION...; THE WIN ADDS TO THE RECORD FOR THE MOST POINTS IN A SEASON BY THE BRUINS(26), THE MOST SINGLE SEASON WINS BY A BRUIN GOALIE(11), IT GIVES ME THE MOST CAREER WINS BY A BRUIN GOALIE(15). , AND SETS THE RECORD FOR THE FEWEST GOALS GIVIN UP BY THE BRUINS IN A SINGLE SEASON(68).... HOW YA LIKE ME NOW?; WEEK#7: (played 11/1/97) DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER HOW LAST WEEK I SAID ONE GOAL WASN'T ENOUGH TO WIN IN B.A.S.H? WELL I STAND CORRECTED, IT IS ENOUGH TO WIN IN B.A.S.H.... (FOR THE LANDSHARKS). AS THE BRUINS FALL TO THE SHARKS IN ONLY THE SECOND GAME IN B.A.S.H. HISTORY TO END 1-0 IN OVERTIME. IT WAS A GOOD TIGHTLY PLAYED GAME BUT AFTER OVER 63 MINUTES OF SHUTOUT HOCKEY THE SHARKS BUSTED OUT ON A BREAK AWAY AND 5 HOLED THE VICTORY.; FOR ALL OF YOU WHO GIVE ME LIP ABOUT CRITICIZING MYSELF ON MY WEB PAGE WEEK AFTER WEEK.... TAKE THIS.... I PLAYED FUCKING GREAT... OF COURSE IT WAS ON THE SAME DAY MY TEAM DOESN'T SCORE ANY GOALS.... BUT OH WELL...BETTER LUCK NEXT WEEK.; ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE THE BRUINS HAVE SCORED ONE (COUNT THEM...1) GOAL IN THEIR LAST TWO GAMES... WHATS UP WITH THAT?; THE BRUINS ARE NOW 3-3-0 WITH A +/- OF 0, AND HAVE DROPPED INTO A TIE FOR 3RD PLACE WITH THE FLAMES.; NEXT WEEK THE BRUINS PLAY THE KILLERWHALES @ 9:00... A WIN AGAINST THE WHALES WOULD PUT THE BRUINS INTO A TIE FOR 2ND PLACE... I KNOW THAT IT'S A LONG SEASON WITH ALOT MORE GAMES TO PLAY... BUT LETS START THE REST THEM WITH A WIN. THE WHALES WILL BE LOOKING TO AVENGE THE 5-2 SPANKING THE BRUINS PUT ON THEM LAST TIME THEY MET.; FINAL SCORE LANDSHARKS 1, BRUINS 0; WEEK#8: (played 11/8/97) THE BRUINS HARPOON THE WHALES AND FIND THEMSELF IN A TWO-WAY TIE FOR SECOND PLACE. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THE BRUINS FORWARDS SCORING GOALS FOR A CHANGE AS THE BOYS IN GOLD SUNK 7 ON EX-BRUIN RICH DEMING. (I THINK THAT) 6 OF THE BRUINS 7 GOALS CAME FROM THE FORWADS (A NICE CHANGE OF PACE)...THE OTHER ONE WAS ON THE FIRST POINT OF THE GAME, A SWEET GOAL FROM SCOOTER WARDYNSKI FROM THE POINT (A "FORWARD" PLAYING D AT THE TIME).; THE BRUIN D AND GOALIE IAN HOCKING SHUT DOWN THE WHALES BIG GUNS. HOLDING THE WHALES TO ONLY TWO POINTS. (JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE BRUIN/WHALE FIRST MEETING).; THE BRUINS WERE OUTSHOT 31-25, BUT SINKING 7 OUT OF 25 AIN'T SO BAD...AIN'T SO BAD AT ALL... AND ON THE DEFENSIVE END... STOPPING 29 OUT OF 31 AIN'T SO BAD EITHER...; IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD AND LEADING BY THREE THE BRUINS WERE FACING A 5 ON 3 POWER PLAY, SO THE BRUINS CALLED A TIME OUT TO REGAIN SOME COMPOSURE AND CATCH THEIR BREATH... THE WHALES BITCHED AND MOANED ABOUT THE TIME OUT, SHOUTING OUT HOW THE BRUINS WERE JUST A BUNCH OF "PUSSIES" ... SO AFTER THE TIME OUT THE BRUINS KILLED BOTH PENALTIES AND SCORED A SHORT HANDED GOAL (DEMING/HARRINGTON)... WHAT A BUNCH OF WIMPS!; FINAL SCORE BRUINS 7, WHALES 2; THE BRUINS ARE NOW 4-3-0 (WITH A +/- OF 5) AND IN A TIE WITH THE WHALES FOR SECOND PLACE.; IF THE BRUINS FORWARDS CAN SCORE MORE GOALS (LIKE THEY DID THIS WEEK) ... THE TERM "GARBAGE GOAL" WAS USED. ADD THAT TO THE SUPER SHOTS THE BRUINS HAVE FROM THEIR DEFENSIVE PLAYERS AND THE IMPROVING GOALIE PLAY OF IAN HOCKING AND YOU'VE GOT A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IN B.A.S.H. NOW LETS GO OUT THERE AND SEE IF WE CAN DO IT TO A TEAM OTHER THAN THE WHALES!!!. LETS START WITH THE RINKRATS NEXT WEEK @ 9:00.; WEEK#9: (played 12/20/97) AND THE BRUINS WIN ANOTHER ONE VIA THE COMEBACK... THE BRUINS FOUND THEMSELFS DOWN BY TWO GOALS EARLY IN THE THIRD... BUT THEN THE RINKRATS MADE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT ALL OTHER BRUIN VICTIMS HAVE MADE, THEY CALLED A TIME OUT. SO FAR THIS YEAR I THINK THE BRUINS HAVE AT LEAST 10 GOALS IN IN THE FIRST TWO MINUTES FOLLOWING THIRD PERIOD TIMEOUTS... SO THEN THE BRUINS SCORED THREE STRAIGHT TO TAKE THE LEAD... ONLY TO GIVE IT UP JUST AS FAST AS THE RATS SCORED ON A FREEKY LOB TO THE NET, BRINGING THE SCORE TO 3-3. AND BEFORE YOU KNEW IT THE BRUINS DRILLED IT HOME ONE MORE TIME AND GOT THE WIN...; GAME BALLS TO ED PARSONS AND TOM NEAD... ED WAS A SCORING MACHINE, HIS GOALS GOT THE TEAM REALLY FIRED UP... AND TOM PLAYED A GREAT FUCKIN GAME ON D... GOOD JOB YOU GUYS... GOOD JOB TO THE WHOLE TEAM AND A GREAT WIN TO LEAD INTO THE X-MAS BREAK... HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL; FINAL SCORE BRUINS 4, RINKRATS 3; NEXT GAME JAN 3 AGAINST THE FLAMES @ 1:00... IN ANOTHER MUST WIN SHOWDOWN... BUT AREN'T THEY ALL?; WEEK#10: (played 11/22/97) 4 OF THE LAST 10 B.A.S.H. GAMES HAVE GONE INTO O.T.; THIS WEEKS BRUINS / FLAMES GAME ENDED IN A 4-4 TIE. THE GAME WAS A GOOD OLD FASHION SHOOTOUT, THE BRUINS OUT-SHOT THE FLAMES 45-34 WOW THATS A BUNCH OF SHOTS!!!; THE BRUINS PLAYED A GOOD GAME IN FRONT OF GOALIE IAN HOCKING WHO WAS BOTHERED BY A SORE QUADRICEP,INJURED WHEN A FLAME CHECKED HIM IN THE FIRST PERIOD (IN HIS OWN CREASE, AWAY FROM THE PLAY... NO CALL)...; SCOTT SCHAUFFEL SUNK THE FIRST BRUIN GOAL ON A GREAT SECOND EFFORT SHOOT. JORDAN RITTER SUNK THE NEXT 2 AND KEVIN CRAIG PUT IN THE FOURTH AND FINAL GOAL OF THE GAME...; OVER ALL IT WAS A GOOD JOB TO AT LEAST GET A TIE FOR THE BRUINS, WHO WERE DOWN BY 2 GOALS WITH 5 MINUTES LEFT IN THE THIRD... SCOOTER CALLED A TIME OUT TO SET THE LINES AND ONCE PLAY RESUMED JORDAN PUT IN THE BRUINS 3RD GOAL OF THE DAY.... AND IT HAPPEND ABOUT THAT FAST. SSSSWWWWEEEEEEEEEEET.; IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH LONGER FOR CRAIG TO TIE IT UP AT 4. AND WE WENT TO O.T.; THE BRUINS OUT SHOT THE FLAMES IN THE 4TH PERIOD, BUT THE FLAMES SHOTS ON GOAL IN O.T. WERE MUCH BETTER SCORING CHANCES, BUT IAN STOOD (LOPSIDED) STRONG AND GOT THE BRUINS A POINT.; WEEK#11: (played 12/06/97) THIS WEEK THE BRUINS TOOK A QUICK LEAD OVER THE SEALS THANKS TO A NICE SHOT BY MIKE PETERSON AND THEY NEVER REALLY LOOKED BACK. THE BRUINS JUST OUT HUSTLED AND OUT PLAYED THE SEALS... IT WASN'T ANYTHING SPECTACULAR. IT WAS JUST THE SECOND PLACE TEAM AGAINST THE LAST PLACE TEAM... AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT THE BETTER TEAM WON...; OVERALL THE BRUINS PLAYED A SOLID GAME. BUT AS ALWAYS THEY WERE A LITTLE TOO CUTE ON DEFENSE, GIVING UP A TWO GOALS ON UNNECESSARY PASSES IN FRONT OF THE THIER OWN CREASE... BRUINS BEWARE: THAT SHIT WON'T FLY NEXT WEEK AGAINST THE FIRST PLACE LANDSHARKS.; WITH THIS WEEKS WIN THE BRUINS GO ONE POINT OVER THE WHALES AND GAIN SOLE POSSESSION OF SECOND PLACE. THEY ARE 1 1/2 GAMES BEHIND THE FIRST PLACE LANDSHARKS.; FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 6, SEALS 3; WEEK#12: (played 12/13/97) THE BRUINS FALL TO THE SHARKS..... AGAIN... AND LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY THAT SUCKS... OVER ALL THE BRUINS PLAYED A GOOD GAME, BUT THERE WAS A 5-6 MINUTE SPAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SECOND PERIOD IN WHICH EVERY BOUNCE SEEMED TO GO THE LANDSHARKS WAY, AS A RESULT THEY SCORED ALL 5 OF THIER GOALS IN THAT SHORT SPAN.. MOST OF WHICH WERN'T EVEN SHOTS ON GOAL... THEY WERE JUST FUCKED UP BOUNCES IN THE BRUINS CREASE... OH WELL... SHIT HAPPENS...; FINAL SCORE: LANDSHARKS 5, BRUINS 1; NEXT WEEK (DEC 20TH) THE BRUINS WILL MAKEUP THE WEEK 9 RAINOUT AGAINST THE RINKRATS @ 10:30 PLEASE COME EARLY; THE RINKRATS HAVE CLIMBED INTO A TWO WAY TIE FOR THIRD PLACE WITH THE BRUINS. SO NEXT WEEK GAME IS BIG... UNLESS THE WHALES PLAY NEXT WEEK THE WINNER OF THE BRUINS / RINKRATS GAME WILL CLIMB INTO SECOND PLACE AND THE LOSER WILL FALL TO FOURTH ..THE LAST TIME THE BRUINS AND RINKRATS PLAYED THE BRUINS WON 9-7.... SO FAR THIS YEAR THATS THE MOST GOALS SCORED IN ONE GAME; WEEK#13: (played 1/3/98) #@*!#@#!&*$%$!!!; The Bruins SUCKED this week, but still only lost by one goal to the slumping Flames. A pretty sad day for both teams. Sad for the Bruins 'cause they lost to the Flames, and sad for the Flames that they just barely squeaked out a win against a Bruin team playing in their worst game of the year. The thing that sucked the most was the fact that the game winning goal was a piece of shit shot with about one minute left in the third, a shot that should have been stopped...; As a goalie I don't think I've ever faced so many breakaways in one game... I must have seen 3 on 1 coming at me at least 4 times, and a few 2 on 0's as well.; Once again the Bruins gave up goals on careless turnovers in their own zone... A habit I really fucking hope we can break soon... It doesn't help the Bruins win when were spotting the opponent a couple of goals per game. ..............................like I should talk.; On the bright side, Jordan had another big game, knocking in a few. And Rauh's goal to start the game was pretty SWEEET.; The Bruins are 1-1-1 with a +/- of +1 against the Flames so far this year... whats up with that?; Final score Flames 5, Bruins 4; WEEK#14: (played 1/10/98) THE SEALS CONTINUE TO PLAY GOOD, HARD HOCKEY, BUT STILL TURN UP ON THE LOSING END OF THE B.A.S.H. SCORE SHEETS... THIS WEEK THE BRUINS BEAT THEM IN WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A CLOSE ONE. THE BRUINS WERE PLAYING A GOOD HARD GAME AND GOALIE IAN HOCKING WAS LOOKING SHARP DURING THE FIRST TWO PERIODS, GIVING UP NOTHING TO THE SEALS (WHO HAD SOME GOOD SCORING OPPS THROUGHOUT THE GAME); THE BRUINS CONTINUED TO PLAY SOLID IN THE THIRD BUT THEN TWORDS THE END OF THE GAME THE SEALS SEEMED TO WAKE UP, SINKING TWO GOALS (THE SECOND OF WHICH WAS A WIDE SHOT THAT TOOK A SEAL BOUNCE OFF OF IANS GOALIE STICK AND INTO THE BRUIN NET...OUCH) BRINGING THE SCORE TO 3-2 BRUINS WITH ABOUT 2 MINUTES LEFT... THANKFULLY THE BOYS IN GOLD HELD OFF THE GREEN CHARGE AND GOT ANOTHER WIN...; FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 3, SEALS 2; THE BRUINS RECORD IS NOW 7-5-1, THEY ARE STILL IN THIRD PLACE BUT ARE NOW 1 POINT BEHIND BOTH THE FIRST PLACE WHALES (8-4-0) AND THE SECOND PLACE LANDSHARKS (7-2-2)...; I KNOW I SAY THIS EVERY WEEK... BUT NEXT WEEKS GAME AGAINST THE LANDSHARKS @1:00 COULD BE HUGE... THE LANDSHARKS SHOULD SHOW-UP READY TO PLAY AFTER BEING BEAT SILLY BY BOTH THE FOURTH PLACE RINKRATS IN WEEK 13 AND THE FIFTH PLACE FLAMES IN WEEK 14...............AFTER STARTING STRONG (5-1-0 IN THERE FIRST 6 GAMES) THE LANDSHARKS HAVE GONE 2-2-2 IN THERE LAST 6... THIS WILL BE THE LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING BETWEEN THE BRUINS AND SHARKS... SHARKS ARE 3-0-0 AGAINST THE GOLD... SO LETS GO OUT THERE AND GAIN SOME RESPECT BEFORE WE FACE THEM IN THE PLAYOFFS; THIS WEEK WAS THE LAST REGULAR SEASON GAME FOR BRUINS ALL-STAR TOM NEAD...BUT NEVER FEAR, HE WILL BACK FOR THE PLAY-OFFS... TOM, DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, BUT I HOPE YOUR KICK ASS PLAY WON'T BE MISSED.; WEEK#15: (played 1/17/98) THE BRUINS CLIMB INTO FIRST PLACE..... FUCKIN A JACK SHIT!!!!; WHAT A GREAT GAME PLAYED BY THE BRUINS... AFTER LOU ROWEAN SCORED THE FIRST GOAL OF THE GAME FOR THE LANDSHARKS, THE BRUINS TURNED IT ON AND HAD THEIR WAY WITH THE LANDSHARKS (NOW IN THIRD PLACE). THE FIRST THREE BRUINS GOALS WERE ALL SCORED BY SCOOTER WARDYNSKI (A NATURAL HAT TRICK) SOMETHING THE BRUINS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL YEAR....FOR SCOOTER TO SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!; AFTER THAT, IT WAS ALL OVER FOR THE MEN IN BLACK... FOUR MORE GOALS BY THE BRUINS LOCKED THE WIN... AND A SWEET GAME WINNER BY ED PARSONS...FUCKIN A... I'M A HAPPY GUY; YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO BEAT THE LANDSHARKS IN THE FINAL MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS BEFORE THE PLAY-OFFS.; IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE BRUINS PLAY LIKE I KNOW THEY CAN... ITS NOT OFTEN THAT THE BRUINS HAVE HAD SOLID DEFENSE AND GREAT OFFENSE IN THE SAME GAME, NOT TO KNOCK MY TEAM AT ALL. HELL, HOW OFTEN DOES ANY TEAM FIRE ON ALL OF ITS CYLINDERS AT THE SAME TIME? BUT IT SURE WAS A THING OF BEAUTY...THE TEAMS SEEMS TO BE ROLLING STRONG AND NEXT WEEKS GAME WILL BE FOR FIRST PLACE OR AT LEAST A SHARE OF IT, AGAINST THE SECOND PLACE (AND ONE POINT BEHIND THE BRUINS) KILLER WHALES.; GAME BALLS TO SCOOTER (FOR HIS GOALS) AND JORDAN (FOR KICKING ASS ON THE FACE OFFS); AT THE END THINGS GOT NASTY... LANDSHARK CAPTAIN SCOTT DERRY TOOK ON BRUIN CAPTAIN JON RAUH AFTER THE GAME WAS OVER AND I MADE THE MISTAKE OF TRYING TO PROTECT MY TEAMMATE/CAPTAIN. .......... AT SOME POINT IN EVERY FIGHT THERE IS A THIRD MAN IN... NOW I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE AFTER JON INSTEAD OF SCOTT BUT AT THE TIME I SAW A FIGHT AND I WENT AFTER THE AGGRESSIVE ONE. I 'M SORRY FOR LOSING MY HEAD BUT I DIDN'T THROW ANY BUNCHES.AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS SORTA PART OF BEING CALLED FOR "THIRD MAN IN"... IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE I GOT CALLED FOR THIRD MAN IN BECAUSE I'M A BIG GUY (ABOUT 250LBS) AND IF I WANT SOMEBODY TO HIT THE GROUND... THERE COULD DO IT.... I WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF THIS...IF THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AND SOMEBODY WITH LESS WEIGHT HAD JUMPED IN (LIKE GLEN LUCEY) WOULD IT HAVE STILL HAVE BEEN A ONE GAME SUSPENSION? OF COURSE NOT.; IF ANYONE WHO WAS UP ON THE WALL AT THE TIME, SAW THIS AND THINKS I'M WRONG PLEASE E-MAIL ME SO I'LL SHUT THE HELL UP... BUT I THINK THE FUNNIEST PART ABOUT THIS WAS THE FACT THAT A REF WAS STANDING RIGHT THEIR NEXT TO THIS FIGHT... BUT I HAD TIME TO PUT DOWN MY GEAR, TAKE OFF MY GLOVES AND MY HELMET, SHAKE A FEW TEAMMATES HANDS AND THEN RUN TO CENTER ICE TO TRY TO STOP IT (WHERE THE HELL WAS THE REF?). THATS PRETTY SAD...; FINAL SCORE BRUINS 7, LANDSHARKS 3; NEXT WEEK THE SECOND PLACE WHALES...WITHOUT JON RAUH AND IAN HOCKING THOUGH...BUT NEVER FEAR THE BRUINS HAVE THE WHALES NUMBER THIS YEAR, OUT SCORING THEM 12-4 IN THEIR FIRST TWO MEETINGS. ED PARSONS HAS PLAYED LIKE A MAN POSSESSED AGAINST HIS FORMER TEAM... I'M SURE THE BRUINS WILL RALLY AROUND THESE GAME SUSPENSIONS AND GO KICK SOME ASS... I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GONNA PLAY NET FOR BRUINS IN THIS GAME, BUT YOU CAN BET THAT THEIR GONNA BE A GOOD GOALIE. WE DO HAVE A FEW TO CHOSE FROM, INCLUDING THE GOALIE WHO LED THE WHALES TO THEIR FIRST AND ONLY REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP...IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, YES ED'S NUMBERS AS A GOALIE LAST YEAR ARE BETTER THAN MY NUMBERS THIS YEAR...; WEEK#16: (played 1/24/98) HOW ABOUT THEM BRUINS? ONCE AGAIN THE BRUINS BEAT UP ON THE WHALES. BUT THIS WEEK THEY DID IT WITHOUT TEAM CAPTAIN JON RAUH AND GOALIE IAN HOCKING (BOTH OUT WITH GAME SUSPENSIONS)... BUT THE TEAM SHOWED UP IN MASS NUMBERS AND PLAYED THEIR ASSES OFF...; IT WAS A TIGHT GAME THROUGHOUT, THE SCORE WAS 2-1 BRUINS WITH ABOUT 1 MINUTE LEFT (OOPS I MEAN 3 MINUTES... WHALES WHINNING GOT 1:30 ADDED TO THE CLOCK)... SO WHERE WAS I...OH YA, ABOUT 3 MINUTES LEFT IN THE THIRD AND THE WHALES CALLED A TIMEOUT... YOU'D THINK THEY'D NEVER SEEN BRUIN HOCKEY BEFORE... OF COURSE, I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED NEXT... BUT I WILL ANYWAY.... BRUINS SHOOT, BRUINS SCORE, BRUINS SHOOT, BRUINS SCORE... WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN.... NEVER.; IT WAS A GREAT SCRAPPY GAME PLAYED BY THE BRUINS FORWARDS... THEY LEFT IT ALL OUT THERE ON THE RINK... THEY PICKED UP THIER GOALS ON SECOND CHANCES, HUSTLE AND HARD PLAY INFRONT OF THE WHALES NET... SSSSSWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEET...; THE BRUINS DEFENCE DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE AN OVER LOAD OF SHOTS ON GOAL THIS WEEK... BUT THATS A-O-K WITH ME, BECAUSE THEY'RE JOB THIS WEEK WAS TO HELP OUT BRUIN NET MINDER, SCOOTER "HOOVER" WARDYNSKI AND THE D-MEN CAME THROUGH BIG TIME.....I MEAN BIG TIME.... GREAT PLAYING OUT THERE GUYS.; AND HOW ABOUT SCOOTER? THE LITTLE MAN WAS HUGE IN NET... DOMINATING COMES TO MIND... SCOOTER GAVE UP ONE EASY GOAL EARLY IN THE GAME... AND THEN SSSLLLLAAAAAAAMMMED THE DOOR ON THE WHALES...; GREAT JOB OUT THERE SCOOTER... AFTER THE WAY YOU PLAYED THIS WEEK I MIGHT HAVE LOST MY JOB... I'M JUST GLAD YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO TEAM AS A FORWARD... THAT AND THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY NET...; I THINK THE BRUINS HAVE THREE OF THE TOUGHEST GOALIES IN THE LEAUGE ON THIER ROSTER... BUT OF COURSE I WOULD THINK THAT. SPEAKING OF BRUIN GOALIES, BRUIN LEGEND LARRY PETERSON MADE AN APPERANCE AT THE LICK THIS WEEK. DO I SMELL A COMEBACK??? LARRY WAS 14-11-2 DURING HIS TOUR OF DUTY WITH THE BOYS IN TEAL (FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, YES THE BRUINS TEAM COLOR USED TO BE TEAL); THE BRUINS ARE 3-0-0 AGAINST THE WHALES THIS YEAR AND WILL MAKE IT 4-0-0 WHEN THEY PLAY THE WHALES FOR THE LAST TIME (REGULAR SEASON) IN WEEK 20... HEY, HOWS THIS FOR SOME STATS... AGAINST THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE, THEY WHALES HAVE SCORED AN AVERAGE OF 6.27 GOALS PER GAME... BUT AGAINST THE BRUINS....THERE SCORING DROPS DOWN TO 1.66 PER GAME...; FINAL SCORE: BRUINS 4, WHALES 1; NEXT WEEK WE PLAY ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY... SO TELL YOUR GIRLFRIENDS AND WIFES (ONE OR THE OTHER... HOPEFULLY NOT BOTH) THAT IF THEY WANT TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOU... WELL LETS JUST SAY THEY BETTER LIKE HOCKEY AND YOU'LL SEE THEM DOWN AT THE LICK.; WEEK#17: (played 1/31/98) IT WASN'T PRETTY BUT ITS STILL TWO POINTS FOR THE BRUINS... THE BRUINS PLAYED THE RINKRATS ON SATURDAY THE SAME WAY THEY STARTED THE SEASON... HIGH SCORING AND STILL NEEDING TO COMING FROM BEHIND TO SNAKE OUT A WIN. AS A GOALIE I HATE THAT!!!!! BUT I'M GLAD MY TEAM COULD BAIL ME OUT AND GET THE W. I'VE GOT TO SAY THE FRONT THREE OF THE RATS LINE GAVE THE BRUIN D AND MYSELF A SHITLOAD OF PRESSURE... THOSE GUYS LOOKED GOOD... NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT THE BRUINS.. BUT YET GOOD.; I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MIKE PETERSON... I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT IF I COULD CREDIT ONE PLAYER WITH THE WIN, MIKEY WOULD GET THE NOD.; AFTER IAN GAVE UP A GOAL AT 19:58 IN THE SECOND (MAKING THE GAME 5-3 RATS), MIKE GOT A GOAL JUST :32 SECONDS INTO THE THIRD... AND THAT GOT THE TEAMS HEAD SCREWED ON STRAIGHT... THE BRUINS SCORED THE NEXT TWO TO TAKE THE LEAD ONLY TO LET THE RATS TIE IT UP OFF OF A TURN-OVER IN FRONT OF THE NET WITH 9:00 TO YET TO PLAY... BUT PETERSON SLAMMED IT HOME @15:42 AND GOT THE BRUINS A WIN. AND A HAT TRICK, AND A GAME WINNING GOAL. NICE WORK MIKE.; BRUINS SCORING; PERIOD; 1 PETERSON FROM WARDYINSKI @ 7:00; 2 PARSONS FROM PETERSON @ 3:30; 2 RITTER FROM RAUH AND SCHAUFFEL @ 17:50; 3 PETERSON FROM WARDYNSKI @ :32; 3 HARRINGTON @5:37; 3 SCHAUFFEL FROM RAUH AND CRAIG @ 7:59; 3 PETERSON FROM WARDYNSKI AND SCHAUFFEL @ 15:42; I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES "PETERSON FROM WARDYNSKI" HAS BEEN WRITEN DOWN ON A BASH SCORE SHEET... 30? 40? IF ANY BODY KNOWS E-MAIL ME AND I'LL PUT IT ON THIS PAGE; POINTS; 4 PETERSON; 3 WARDYNSKI; 3 SCHAUFFEL; 2 RAUH; 1 HARINGTON; 1 PARSONS; 1 RITTER; 1 CRAIG; FINAL SCORE BRUINS 7, RINKRATS 6; I REALLY DON'T CARE ALL THAT MUCH ABOUT MY PERSONAL STATS (EXCEPT WINS) AND THIS WIN GIVES ME THE RECORD FOR SINGLE SEASON WINS BY A BRUIN GOALIE. (9)... AND I HAVE 13 CAREER WINS AS A BRUIN GOALIE. THE RECORD IS 14 HELD BY LARRY PETERSON, BUT THAT SHOULD FALL SOON...; WEEK#18: (played 2/7/98) TALK ABOUT A CLOSE ONE... THEY DON'T GET ANY CLOSER THAT THAT WITHOUT GOING INTO O.T....IN A RAIN SOAKED GAME THE UNDERMANNED BREW CREW (TWO SUBS THE WHOLE GAME) PULL OFF A WIN IN THE MOST DRAMATIC WAY...THE SCORE WAS 1-0 SEALS GOING INTO THE THIRD... JORDAN RITTER PUT IN THE GOAL THAT TIED IT EARLY BUT THEN THE BRUINS COULDN'T FIND A WAY TO GET IN THE GAME WINNER UNTIL 19:58 IN THE THIRD.... YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY 0:02 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME WHEN TOMMY HARRINGTON (FROM THE BLUE LINE) FOUND THE TOP CROSSBAR AND BANKED IT HOME... HOW SWEET IT IS...; HATS OFF TO MIKE PETERSON AND SCOTT SCHAUFFEL WHO PLAYED THE ENTIRE 60 MINUTES WITH OUT A BREAK. SLEEP WELL MY FREINDS.; THIS GAME WAS PENALTY FREE. AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF MISSED CALLS, IT WAS JUST A FAIRLY CLEAN GAME... IT WAS ROUGH AT TIMES, I SAW A FEW NICE CHECKS LAID OUT... BUT OVERALL IT WAS A WELL PLAYED AND WELL REF'D GAME.; BIG THANKS TO THE REFS WHO CAME OUT IN THE RAIN SO WE COULD PLAY THE GAME WE LOVE.; THE WIN PUTS THIS YEARS BRUINS IN THE RECORD BOOKS WITH THE LONGEST BRUIN WINNING STREAK(5), LONGEST BRUIN UNBEATEN STREAK(5), THE MOST POINTS IN ONE SEASON BY THE BRUINS(23), MOST BRUIN WINS IN A SEASON(11), AND FEWEST LOSSES BY THE BRUINS IN A SEASON... HOW ABOUT THOSE BRUINS... 8-2-1 IN THEIR LAST 11 GAMES....; THIS WAS THE LAST SEALS / BRUINS MEETING THIS YEAR AND ALTHOUGH THE SEALS HAVE BEEN THE DOOR MAT OF THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR, I AM VERY GLAD THAT WERE DONE WITH THEM... THEY PLAYED US SOLID IN ALL FOUR OF THE GAMES... BRUINS WIN THE HEAD TO HEAD 3-1-0... WITH A +2 (SQUUEEEEK); NO GAMES ON THE WEEKEND OF THE 14TH.; THE BRUINS WILL BE BACK IN ACTION @11:00 ON THE 21ST AGAINST THE RINKRATS.; WEEK#19: (played 2/21/98) ONCE AGAIN THE BRUINS SHOW UP IN MASS NUMBERS; HARRINGTON PUT IN A COUPLE OF GOALS IN THE SECOND PERIOD BUT THE BRUINS STILL LOST 3-2 IN OVERTIME...; YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO MUCH DETAIL ABOUT THIS ONE.; WEEK#20: (played 2/28/98) ITS A TIE!!!!!! A 4-4 TIE...THE BRUINS PICK UP ONE MORE POINT ON SATURDAY BY ENDING IN A 4-4 TIE WITH THE WHALES.... IT WAS A GOOD GAME WITH SOME GOOD GOALTENDING IF I DON'T SAY SO MYSELF....; THE WHALES SHOWED UP WITH THEIR BEST GAME... AND WE DIDN'T, SO I GUESS IT AIN'T SO BAD TO COME AWAY WITH ONE POINT... THE GAME TIE'N GOAL WAS PUT IN BY THE WHALES AT THE END OF A POWER PLAY.... MAYBE ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER THE PENALTY WAS OVER... IT WILL GO DOWN IN THE RECORD BOOKS AS EVEN STRENGTH, BUT IT REALLY WASN'T......... IT WAS NICE TO GO 3-0-1 AGAINST THE WHALES THIS YEAR.... I HOPE WE GET TO PLAY THEM SOME MORE IN THE PLAYOFFS....; PLAYOFFS; 3-7-98 payoff game 1:; AND THE BRUINS WIN GAME ONE...3-2; playoff game 2 played 3-8-98; WELL MAYBE ALL THAT BEER WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA... WELL YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN, NEXT WEEK WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY...; THE BRUINS HELD A 1-0 LEAD WELL INTO THE THIRD BUT THEN THINGS BROKE DOWN AND IAN LET IN THREE... THE BRUINS JUST COULDN'T SCORE IN THIS GAME AND IT CAME BACK AND BIT THEM IN THE ASS... WITH A BIG FAT LOSS...; LETS FACE IT FELLAS WE BEAT OURSELFS IN THIS ONE... I DIDN'T HELP MUCH (I'LL ADMIT THAT) BUT WE NEED TO SCORE MORE THAN ONE GOAL... WE NEED TO PUT THE PUCK ON THE NET, AT THE NET AND MOST OF ALL IN THE NET... I THINK WE HAD ABOUT 20 SHOTS ON NET... I THINK WE AVERAGE CLOSE TO 40 ... I KNOW THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS BUT THATS RIDICULOUS... I'D GUESS THAT ABOUT HALF OF OUR GOALS THIS YEAR ARE OFF OF REBOUNDS... BUT WE CAN'T GET REBOUNDS IF THERE IS NO SHOTS... I WAN'T YOU ALL TO STRAP THE GEAR ON YOUR GIRLFRIENDS THIS WEEK AND PRACTICE SCORING (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)...; NEXT WEEK I GET MY FIRST PLAYOFF SHUTOUT AND THE BRUINS WIN 6-0...THAT IS AS LONG AS THE REST OF MY TEAM SHOWS UP READY TO PLAY BRUIN HOCKEY...; BOMBS 3, BRUINS 1; playoff game 3 (end of the first round) played 3/14/98; WOW!!!!
