Short Hiatus on Black White and Gold

Due to being extremely busy in a few areas of my life, I've decided to put Black, White and Gold on short-term hiatus until I have more energy and enthusiasm to maintain it.

Lately, I've been enjoying just watching the games, without the pressure of commenting on them here. So that will continue for the next little while.

However, I know myself, and I know the Bruins, and there's no way that I can be silent forever, given how frustrating the team can be. So stay tuned for more posts and more vitriol later.

And thanks, as always, for your patience.

Everything Is Awesome for Bruins Fans

I haven't been posting about the last run of Bruins games simply because I haven't had a lot to say about them. And this time its not because of stifling rage!

The B's have looked great, they're getting unbelievable goaltending from Thomas (6 wins this season, 3 of them being shutouts), and after a bit of a wobbly start, the Bruins' passing is suddenly crisp and purposeful.

Yes, everything is completely awesome.

Of course, being a Bruins fan for as long as I have, I realize that the wheels can come off at any moment, and the team can irreparably fall apart in a matter of days (see: Last Year's Playoffs for an example).

And, like always, I know there will be the traditional Holiday Heartbreak where the B's lose 10 or more straight games in either December or January.

But until then, I'm just enjoying the ride. Let's go Bruins!

There was even a day this week when I had the perfect Bruins fan trifecta: The Bruins won, the Habs lost, and the Leafs got skunked (and each Leafs loss increases the B's chances at a high draft pick, courtesy of the Phil Kessel trade). I mean, what else can a B's fan ask for?

The Bruins play tomorrow night in Buffalo - their first regular season match up since the Bruins ousted the highly-touted Sabres in last year's playoffs. Should be good!
