Boston Bruins Mogue Vogue

I am the rare New Englander whose sports allegiances began with the Bruins, well before the Sox, Pats, or Celts got their shit together. My mother even let my brother and I stay home from school to watch us get drummed by the Oilers during the Cup. I digress. My theory is that the B’s are amidst a curse of their own that has yet to be analyzed. The curse of Andy Moog. There have been many goaltenders who have played for the Bruins since we traded Moog away, but none of them have been any good for more than one season. Blaine Lacher, Bill Ranford, Jim Carey, John Blue, John Casey, Tim Thomas (we’ll see), among others. Thoughts? Here, a video that 1/12th of New England will lose their shit over, the other will just say “Bob Beers! Was that really that guys name?”
Love the site,

I was more of a Pete Peters guy myself but this still may be the greatest video we’ve ever posted on the Stool. Rear Admiral must be like jerking off in a towel right now.
I know you are kidding about being the greatest video ever on the stool…shit it’s not even the best of the day.
The Bruins suck, always will. Always.
Mike,
You might as well throw Andrew “The Razor” Raycroft in the scrap heap while your at it…WTF.
Prez,
Who you kidding? You were never a Bruins fan. Ever!
The curse started when the Maine Mariners went away
Did anyone watch the game on Saturday vs. Toronto? How can anyone not like the bruins/hockey?
where do i download this song?
Moog gave up goals at worst possible time (see: Klima, Petr).
And yeah, these are some cursed numbers…
2006-2007 Bruins 66 30 29 – 4 3 189 1,985 .905 3.13 3,619
2007-2008 Bruins 57 28 19 – 6 3 136 1,731 .921 2.44 3,342
2008-2009 Bruins 54 36 11 – 7 5 114 1,694 .933 2.10 3,259
Next…
We got a guy up here in Rocehster, NY who plays in a men’s league who literally idolizes Andy Moog, all of his gear is Moog style right down to the stick, it’s kinda messed up b/c i don’t think Moog even made the Bruins hall of fame. Thankfully for us he plays like Moog circa 1993 and we light him up like Brad May and the Sabres did in the playoffs that year.
There is still no better name to say after kick save
The B’s have been contenders lately. Get your head out of your ass Greenwave Pride. There will be a cup in the next ten years. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was this year. Last year we were arguably the best team in the NHL and we lost second round. And Carolina, the team that beat us, looks awful. anything can happen in the playoffs and we will be in the playoffs.
Ummmm how about lord fucking byron? Dafoe was fuckin dirty, jus an injury prone limey
Gilles Gilbert!
Some Bruins fans are just funny. They act like they know more about the sport because it is their favorite sport. Usually they are just stupid people. I was born into the Boston sports fan cult–sislike every other team. I love the Bruins, Pats, Celtics, and Sox equally–always have. People who say “I was a fan of Pats/Celts/Sox before the Bs got their shit together–I stayed home from school to watch the Pats championship parade” are equal morons.
@Royal T – right on! Also goes great after “Save by …!” Brings back street hockey memories.
Further evidence as to why Harry Sinden should have been killed in his sleep.
You should all thank him for the countless times he stood on his head for you playing as the Bruins in NHL ’93 and ’94 for Sega Genesis.
Did the Bruins win the cup that year? I can’t seem to remember.
[...] Finally, Barstool Sports dug up this bit of auditory hell from 1991. Presenting "Andy Moog Vogue," a Madonna [...]
Mike Moffat. 1982 Playoffs. So close.
