I pray that the B's win today. I hope they win every game, but today, it is very important that they win.
I do not wish to listen to all the complainers. "They can't play the matinees." "This team has always been awful in afternoon games." etc etc etc

I just want them to beat Red's team. Besides I donlt like the way they lost in Winnipeg last season.
Complainers ? They should go on the Pats forum for complaint.

They played quite well against New york, so expectations will be there. Thought that Bourque's speed and passing were helpful. Horton looked to be in game shape as well, and Tuuka did his job.

"I do not wish to listen to all the complainers."
It's the price we pay for coming here when the B's lose.

It would be good to put that "can't win afternoon games" mentality out of the way quick..I also hope they win since Wednesday they play an 0-2 Rangers team.

The Bruins went 7-8 last year in matinee games. They were 4-7 the year before, 7-9 the year before that and 8-8 back in 2008-2009. You have to go back to the 2007-2008 season to get a winning record in afternoon games: 10-5.
All well below their usual W-L records. I know it's annoying to hear and tough to put our fingers on the problem, but truth is they historically perform below average in afternoon games. It is what it is.

Why does that matter? They stink at all afternoon games. Why can't we complain now? ;)
I was kind of hoping NAS was dedicating this thread to MC Hammer. Oh well.

If it's the same Jets team that showed up against Ottawa vs. the same Bruins team that played the Rangers - this should be an absolute slaughter. Zero hope at all for the Jets.

I PRAY FOR MORE MATINEES !!!
Sick hockey game ! very exciting , I think the Bruins hit 4 posts ! Missed opportunities though. Freakin Pavelec always plays really well against the Bruins.
This game had almost everyting.

I wonder if the ice got progressively worse or the players from both teams just collectively took out their conact lenses because the quality passing was steadily declining as the game went on.
Funny when Lucic tried to hit Buff and landed on his a**. You don't see Milan fall down that easy on contact very often.

Nice analysis asmaha, data suggests a disproportionately poor performance for matinee games.
