The Bruins' break between the first and second rounds was a nice thing. Since they swept the Canadiens last Wednesday, I could enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy when the new episode airs instead of watching it online. I got to get some odds and ends done around the house. I got to save some money by not attending games with the addition of hanging out before/after them.
So this nine day layoff really didn't affect me and I even got to stop by a practice on Saturday to get my Bruins fix.
I will admit that my week was semi screwed up because I kept thinking it was a day ahead of what it was. Tomorrow's game will probably feel like a Saturday game. Then Sunday's game will just throw me for a loop completely.
The Hurricanes are most likely in town already, gearing up for the next couple of games in Boston. The Canucks were off for roughly the same amount of time as the Bruins and they're currently tied 3-3 late in the 3rd. It's expected the Bruins might start tomorrow's game 1 a little slow and have to shake some rust off, but it's not like they haven't had slow starts throughout the regular season and even in the first round.
Besides, fans were entertained by the Celtics while the Bruins were idle. The Bulls/Celtics series has been nothing short of unbelievable and their overtimes might lead to my future heart problems down the road. (Canucks just scored with 1:13 left in regulation.)
But there's nothing like Bruins hockey and it's back at the TDBanknorth Garden tomorrow night. Thank God!
(Note: Canucks won 5-3. They scored an empty netter.)
