Garden had a decent amount of people in it last night. Thomas gave up a few softies, but Peverley winging Bergy and Marchand looked like as good of a fit to replace Rex as we all hoped it would. I don't take much from these preseason games, especially since the Islanders played about one lines worth of players that will be on their regular season team (Bailey, Comeau, Parenteau), but that's how good they looked together. I don't like seeing Spooner, Knight, Hamilton, and Khoklachev sent back this early. Even though they wouldn't have made the team anyways, would have liked to see them get a little bit more burn playing in preseason NHL games as opposed to major junior games.

Canucks are most definitely more skilled than the Bruins are, but the Bruins are a matchup nightmare for them. If we can take one in Vancouver, the series should be in our grasp because this will come down to line matchups. If we can keep Chara/Seidenberg on the Sedin losers, with the Bergeron line, we should be able to keep them in check, and with the home team having last change, matching lines will be more important than ever. If Malhotra plays, the Bruins are literally f***ed. Going to need an otherworldly series out of the Krejci, Lucic, Horton line, as well as Kelly, Ryder, Peverley, and Seguin. If our toughness game can outmatch their finesse game, then I think the Bruins can win, but that's a stretch. We've risen up all year against the odds, so you never know. As a Bruins fan, I like us in 7, but as a hockey fan I think the Canucks take this.

More west, up by the Lowell/Andover area. Perfect shot straight down 93. http://i55.tinypic.com/1gk70h.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/2a813ky.jpg Brilliantly awesome game. The job isn't done yet, though.

Live about 20 minutes north, leaving around 6.

I'm going. Hopefully not driving off the 93 north onramp after the game.

I just saw four more at a Mobil station off of 495 in Lowell. Crazy that they've gotta stay this far away. Chicago must have all our hotels booked.

We sat way back below the scoreboard in sec 38 and we had Cubs fans behind us, in front of us, and next to us. Unfortunately for them I was extremely obnoxious last night. It was loud as hell in the bleachers during the top of the first when they got back to back hits with two outs. I figured a lot of people would make the trip out, but not this many. I'd say the bleachers were 60/40 with sox vs. cubs fans.

Anyone else at the game tonight? There were a shockingly large amount of Cubs fans.

It's whatever. I thought I was still in it. I checked around noon today and only a few picks were up, I didn't really think I was gonna be up today. I'm on vacation with my family and I got on for a few seconds and by the time I got the PMs later on I was "kicked out". It's cool though, I'll live.

What happened to my s***?

I'm not sure if I wanna be in to be honest.

My main point was you can say things like include intangibles or whatever as much as you want, but I refuse to believe it'll happen until I see it happen. Some of the better "teams" in both of the two previous redrafts were either poorly ranked or didn't get as far as they should have because people didn't take into account anything other than names.

You can say it as much as you want, but people won't vote based on "things such as defense, injuries, lockerroom presence, and intangibles". I think we saw that it didn't work in the two previous redrafts. Hopefully it does in this one.
