No, doesnt everyone hate BC? Notice I have not brought up the NYR yet? Keeping quiet. Geez, another one. Well, at least you had PC as a safety school!😉 PC was my 3rd choice.

Back in my day, if you went to a Catholic high school, you automatically got into BC….25 out of 100 kids in my class went there. If you were a commuter, it was under $1,000 a year. Suffice it to say that at about $90k a year, not that many poor Irish Catholic kids from Southie are going there now. Nice to see the Bruins move on. Now they get to play a well rested Florida team tomorrow night. Should have closed this out in 5.

When it came time to pick a college, the choice was between BC and "that Ivy League den of iniquity in Providence." Free ride to either one. The nuns at my high school said that I'd lose my faith if I didn't choose BC. But my favorite nun said, "You'd be an idiot if you turn down Brown." So that's where I went. And the funny part was that after 4 years of college, I was the only one of my high school buddies, including all the ones who went to BC, Holy Cross or PC, who was still going to church.

I went to state college 10 miles up the road. Paid with my credit card each semester and got to run track and play hockey. Commuted and with the money I saved, I paid for my wedding with Terri. All you guys with your big schools. I bet if you went my route you would have been just as successful. It is after all, mostly motivation and hard work that gets it done.
I am feeling a lot better about the Bruins. If they Win tonight, it's a brave new world out there. NYR look real good. They scare me more than Florida.

No comment on NYR or NYK (we really should have an NBA thread), long way to go. Love playoff season.

Bs were due for that. Swayman can only do so much. Florida is just better. Nice to see the Bs stand up for themselves, though. Pasta vs. Tkachuk? Come on. Talk about a mismatch. But at least Pasta answered the bell. The Bs will need unbelievable goaltending, unrelenting intensity, and some good bounces or this will be over quick. And how about no more too many men on the ice penalties!
