What's kind of funny to me is that after the Lucic-Miller incident, it's basically been "the Sabres are building their team to beat the Bruins", and while we are horrible, we are somehow the team that gave Boston both of its regulation losses to this point.

There are teams that lose in regulation?

Tomorrow has 2 incredible original 6 matchups. Chicago-Detroid in the afternoon and Boston-Montreal at night. The NHL should just do this for every Sunday once the football season ends.

Well that was a very nice defensive game.

Xiomera · 03-03-2013, 01:56 PM

God damn it, Red Wings.

1-0 lead on the Blackhawks until 2:30 left in the game, then they take a delay of game (puck over glass) penalty and the Hawks tie it. THEN, the Wings took yet another delay of game penalty 62 seconds later.

Overtime ... Hawks' streak of getting a point is intact at 22 games to open the season.

dabears10 · 03-03-2013, 01:57 PM

22. Go Hawks!

Rosebud · 03-03-2013, 01:59 PM

If the Avs lose to the Bluejackets today, were so going to beat the hawks on Wednesday.

Xiomera · 03-03-2013, 02:11 PM

Ridiculous. Hawks win again.

I miss Todd Bertuzzi. The Wings using Zetterberg in shootouts is ideally avoided.

I was excited to see Datsyuk do something unbelievably silly. A bit disappointing.

Both goalies stood on their head today.

SuperMcGee · 03-03-2013, 07:56 PM

Huberdeau with ten goals already. Not too shabby for the lightweight. How long until he's traded?

SuperMcGee · 03-03-2013, 09:18 PM

Remember two weeks ago when Pacio hadn't scored yet? Ya, k.

I ******* hate the Bruins. Classless organization.

Glass houses. Both teams and fanbases have had their moments in this rivalry especially in the last 5/10 years.

Do you support that little stunt by Emelin? Or do you just oppose what happened after it?

Wootylicous · 03-04-2013, 01:56 PM

Do you support the Bruins being a clean team ? They are the most classless bums out there. Claude Julien is just a idiot. When your team are the king of cheap shots and gutless moves don't even call out any teams on that.

Did you see Chara taking a run at Emelin or did you not ?

I saw it. I am a Bruins fan but I won't say we are a "clean" team, especially by a Montreal-type hockey tradionalist's definition (not an insult, just the type who is an all-skill type fan).

The Bruins are a physical team and definitely rub people the wrong way. Some stuff I see I don't neccesarily agree with either. But at least all of our goons/punks serve a purpose, they weren't just brought here to be a Jon Scott. Marchand is punk and an asshole but he is a great hockey player and you can't deny it. Same goes for Chara. Same goes for Lucic. You would take any of those guys in a heartbeat. Hell, even Shawn Thornton has a role on his team and is competent on the PK and isn't completely lost with the puck or on the attack. He isn't Crosby, but for a guy known as a fighter he can be more than that. McQuaid fights a lot and sticks up for guys but he plays a relatively clean game, he hasn't even been fighting this year because his ribs are ****** up.

So back to my original post, my arguement wasn't "Zomgz the Bruinz are clean and teh best and Montreal is dirtyz!!", it was more along the lines of we both have had our fair share of moments where, if we take the homer glasses off, can realize that it was a **** play or a punk move. Marchand putting his stick in Prust's face last night pissed me off, and Emelin's shot to Seguins ribs should have done the same to you. The refs didn't do anything, Chara did. Should he have waited til the whistle and not come at him from behind? Probably, but we have done things I disagree with more. His intentions were right in that he was sticking up for Seguin on a cheap shot he took. Chara threw a cheap shot on Pax that I didn't agree with, but don't be mad that nobody on Montreal has the ability to stand up/would stand up to Chara at that time. Tell me you would have been pissed if a Canadien cleaned out Chara from behind after that.

Emelin isn't suppose to fight, especially against a guy like Chara.

He has an eye socket fracture in his past.

Emelin not being supposed to fight plea will fall upon deaf ears every time he pulls something like he did last night, and it will happen against every team not just those asshole Bruins. If you cheap shot a guy who is one of the top players on the opposing team while a guy like Chara is on the ice you are either going to get hurt or get immasculated trying to protect yourself, what happened to Emelin was somewhere in between but closer to the latter.

Don Vito · 03-04-2013, 03:44 PM

While we are kind of on the topic, why were Rangers players going after people other thank Kaleta after that hit on Richards last night? Did they just not know it was him or were they just pretending to think it was someone else? If something like that happens while Kaleta is on the ice they probably should have known it was him. Either that or I just missed something that happened away from the hit.

Hines · 03-04-2013, 10:04 PM

Anyone see the new lottery system? I kind of like it.

MaxV · 03-05-2013, 08:30 AM

AWESOME goal by Malkin.

Abdelkader with an ugly interference at center ice. I think its was his most productive play this year.

22 games played (about half with Datsyuk) - 0 goals - 1 assist

I just can't understand what Babcock is thinking. Especially with the fact that Tatar has looked solid this year, and Nyquist is tearing up the ahl.

Edit: Just as I typed this, Tatar was moved up to Datsyuks line. It's about damn time.

Yeah. Abdel belongs in the bottom 2 lines grinding.
Has value there. Useless up with Dats.

Wild on the board early in Chicago
