  42. Beautiful can’t wait for part II Mook. Love the Bruins Logo on @Ferknuckle’s arm. I have the same tat on my left forearm lest what I’m assuming denotes the 2010-11 cup season.  
    I don’t know how anyone can not love the play of Chris Pronger. I felt such pity for him every year he looked so hopeful that he would play again. I’m kind of hoping he and Steavens may change things a bit when it comes to the NHL Player Safety Committee. It ain’t likely but, I’m trying to hang in there. I hate those fuckers.
