Favorite Bruins/Canucks highlight videos?

i really admired daniel sedin's career - he's a great guy, underrated sense of humor, and a heck
of a hockey player. with all that said, my favorite thing from the cup final was marchand
rabbit punching him like 7 times in a row with no response in a blowout game. after that,
i was personally convinced the b's were winning game 7 (although superstitions did not
allow me from saying that out loud or typing it anywhere).

Avoid the Roxy boys. Roxy effect had you last time...avoid the Roxy.

Going to the game tomorrow night. Anyone know what time the morning skate is for the Bs?

I dislike the Nucks. I am not sure why as it is not the same team from 2011 .

For you and anyone else going to the game cheer loud for our boys and have a blast.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

[Ladyfan]

I am evil because I LOVED what Brad did there.

 

[BMC]

With no skate today, I have no idea what the line up is or who’s in net tomorrow so here is another ugly GDT.

Normal GDT’s shall commence on Tuesday when they return to a normal game time

Will be nice to see Tim Schaller play against his old team

OK now I have to stay up so I can call a Schaller goal one more time

...and when asked after the game why he punched Sedin Brad said "felt like it" with a smirk on his face...LOVED IT

 

[BMC]

My favorite Ference highlight was him flipping off the Canadiens fans in Montreal.

I cherish that memory. He flipped those a-holes off right in the devil's own house. Ference always was gutsy.

I hate to admit but I loved it too.

Don't tell anyone though

I love that you posted that !!!

The Vancouver Province newspaper had a two page feature on Friday about the dislike for the Bruins and was it still there? Leading up to yesterday‘s issue there was a halfpage ad every day with giant lettering “do we still hate the Bruins? “It was an interesting read but nothing really new. Not too many players left from 2011 on either team. Only Edler and Tanev from the Canucks. I have always hated the Canucks even living here in Vancouver but it really ramped up in 2011 after the crap I had to put up with. After the windshield on my car was broken with my Bruins sticker on it, I went to Seattle and Portland for games six and seven. So much more refreshing there. Sitting in a bar in Portland when the Bruins scored their first goal in game seven the place went crazy . Something I have never seen before living here. To this day every time I wear my Marshand T-shirt I can still expect at least a half dozen comments during the day. Pretty easy to tick them off though with a few choice comments. In my opinion not much has changed . The best part of the game for me here is always the pregame warm-up where I get to see the players up close. Seeing all of the Bruins fans always makes my wife and I comment where the hell are these people every day? We are usually wearing a Bruins gear when we go out to a bar on most days and rarely see people wearing the same. when we do we usually chat . Security is pretty tight at Arena’s etc. these days. Used to easily be able to get into the practises etc. Oh well, it is what it is… And we have a Stanley Cup

Need to....get Moore off of the 2nd pairing

it has been
CHA/McA
GRZ/MIL
MOO/CAR
for most of the games so far. you want him demoted from the third pairing to get VAA in right before KRU is ready to come back?

 

[TP]

I'm scared

As LadyFan would say, cheer loud!

The Boston Bruins Week Ahead: October 19 - 26

Morning skate is 11:30 AM local time, 2:30 PM for us. Given that it's at Rogers Arena, I doubt it's public - the ones at the true practice arena in Boston (Warrior) are generally public, while the rare times they practice at the Garden, it's usually closed. Probably an accurate time, given that they publish the "Week ahead" schedule on Friday - I'd say practices on Wednesday/Thursday are probably more vulnerable to schedule changes.

This is the first game without the Sedins for the Bruins, no? It just feels strange....

Mine that crushing hit on Ott and then fighting Avery

 

[Alicat]

I’ll be watching the baseball game until 10 then will flip over to the Bruins.

 

[UncleRico]

Need to tinker with the forward groupings and get Moore off of the 2nd pairing

Moore isn’t on the 2nd pairing, gryz is on the 2nd pairing. Look at the even strength time on ice. Gryz is 3rd among defenders on the team by nearly a minute and a half. Been that way all year.

 

[Fenway]

“A leatherlung fan, and they have a few in Boston, yelled, ‘we didn’t lose to the British, and we’re not gonna lose to British Columbia.’ Hansen gave it across with 15 to go. Despite that adversity, they followed their coach to the high road, and the high road is the road to the Cup. No icing. For the first time in 39 years, the Boston Bruins have won the Stanley Cup! And they pour on to celebrate with Tim Thomas, their heroic goaltender!” - Doc Emrick NBC

No no no. I like Schaller, but no more.

Kuraly. Ku-ra-ly.

 

[Ladyfan]

I loved Thomas for this.

We have 5 guys left from the cup series. They really don't have much left. Their hate for Brad is fun !

Poor Brad. He seems to like playing against the twins...I think he knew how much he could get under their skin.

Eddie whining about that thomas hit is great

 

[Alicat]

Eddie whining about that thomas hit is great

Him crying about Bergy punching in the punch is up there as well

 

[Alicat]

It’s fun to look back but I hate that every time we play Vancouver, 2011 gets brought up.

The Vancouver media seems to harp on it the most.

Let it go...
