Bruins Centennial HNIC salutes "The Big Bad Bruins'

[Fenway]

HNIC carried the entire pregame ceremony of November 18th

The quality of the first video is terrible and hopefully, @dafoomie or someone in Canada can send me a better copy.

But at least you can see the former players coming onto the ice



The Bruins and NHL released a clean video of the banners being raised.

@Gee Wally - They brought back Heidi Holland who had retired. They are sparing no expense as it had to cost a small fortune to fly in and house all these players.

She’s doing an outstanding job.

Even under Sinden, the Bruins always have.

Ever notice that their special events never run over time and are meticulously planned? They are of course sentimental, yet rarely maudlin.

To me, MTL and Boston handle these occasions the right way.

HNIC has a very tight format on Saturday and they threw it out the window to cover the Bruins pregame and the anthems

I could do without the announcer trying to explain the Bruins to Bruins fans but otherwise they're doing a nice job.

It was so awesome to see all of them again. Many who haven't been seen in years. Wayne Cashman, Dallas Smith, Rick Smith etc.

With so many of them still living, it was really essential to do this and get them all together again. Cue the flashbacks to WSBK TV-38 and Barbara Streisand Memories.

Charlie Jacobs is not his dad - he’s crushing ownership but nobody is paying attention

Crushing more fans into smaller seats for more money.

Hmmm I’m going today I don’t remember my seat that small - Fenway Park yes in Grandstands

Been to most games so far but didn’t notice - you may be right
