Ever noticed all of the flies buzzing around the under scoreboard camera at the Garden?  Isn't the building manager embarassed by this?  Is the circus living in there?  "Bugs" me to see these flying maggots for the start of every period!  For you fortunate fans that attend games frequently, Is the garden dirty?

In Response to Flies : That drove me nuts in the playoffs last year.  Seems when the weather gets warm they hatch up there. I just don't get it.  Some fly paper would completely resolve the issue. It's embarassing and unreal that they haven't taken care of the problem. Posted by BadHabitude

The worst part about the garden. In the summer, the concrete inside of the arena starts to sweat. I can't tell you how many times I saw someone take a bad fall on the steps last year. Very dangerous.

I understand the sweaty concrete part. Very large building, like arenas, sort of develop their own climates. It's difficult for even well-designed hvac systems to keep up with the variable changes that occur with 17k people coming and going not to mention the fact that there is a man-made pond in the middle.

It all began from the big patch of moss that grew over Phil Kessel's weightroom locker a few years ago.  It was a perfect place for insects to breed and hatch without any fear of disturbance, and a long forgotten block of cheddar cheese that Kessel once left there provided adequate sustenance.  When Kessel was traded, the team asked him to clean it out, but he had long since forgotten where the weight room was, so this little plot of nature remained.  Anyhow, these 'Kessel mites' got tired of watching Chara lift weights all the time and moved out to the scoreboard area to watch the games.  They come out in force for the Toronto game to show their appreciation to Phil Kessel for the habitat he unwittingly created for them by being a fat, lazy slough. You can look to these very bugs for the origins of the "Thank You Kessel" chants... Posted by Fletcher1

soups had the answer right under your noses. It's Peter Chiarelli's fault: http://watch.tsn.ca/featured/#clip634608

I actually cant remember NOT seeing those flies. It's been going on for years and it really is embarassing. A couple more things while I'm venting: I can not stand the opposite end camera angle used during the shootout. Just terrible. You can never see whether the puck goes in or not. Will someone please tell the director to use the center ice camera for all penalty/shootout attempts. common sense !! I also have a gripe with the MBTA. The newburyport commuter rail train leaves at 9:30 which coincides with the typical ending time of the game. So, you need to choose between leaving the game early to catch the train or stick around and wait for the late train. Once again, this has been going on for years. You figure that the B's and MBTA could get together and maybe alter the train schedule on game nights to say 9:45-10:00pm. Wow, this venting feels great. Lets see, love the garden nachos and pretzels but the melted cheese is too spicy. Can we tone this down please ? I'm not looking for bland cheese but maybe something like Kraft shells and cheese type cheese (yum). How bout some new music during the game. Hey, Ron Poster I'm talking to you. Ron, I dont want to tell you how to do your job but that's supposed to be a major chord at "twighlights last gleaming", not the minor chord that you ALWAYS play. Just saying. Dont even get me started with Rene. Thats a different post for a different day. Bring back the Crunch N' Munch guy. Ok, so he's probably not a kid anymore but, he was entertaining and when it comes down to it I just want to be entertained. B's marketing department, I got some words for you too. Bring back the Bear commercials. They're FUNNY !!! Here's another one: open up the Garden (when available) during Bruins road games and televise them. Lower the score board about 30 feet, charge $5 for admission so we can afford to bring our families, cover the ice so kids can play on the sheet, sell concessions just like a regular game. Make it family freindly. Working guy like me cant afford to bring the whole family to the game but, this could be a great alternative family game experience. Keep everything else the same. I love it. All right that's it. I'm outa here !
