Ah, forgot he kissed him. All of it is pretty much a blur as the guy is a complete joke.


Have a couple things to mention as well.

1. Domingue! Anybody see how happy he was out there and postgame? Good to see him with a smile on his face. It's obvious his role is backup but it's nice to see the guy involved and like he's out there. I think down the stretch the addition of him can't be overlooked. Where would we be without him? Probably not 1st in the Atlantic and sitting pretty with home ice. Hats off to Yzerman moving Drouin, signing the two vets and bringing Domingue in when he did.

2. Cooper - I'm impressed. Gotta say it. Somehow this team has remained cool and with the exception of a couple periods, they've prevailed the typical Boston Bruins antics. They managed to somehow come from behind and win in their barn. Two road wins in a row in a place we are historically bad at. The lines, sticking with them and the calming of the storm has impressed me. Sure the guys give it their all, but this team plays differently than the 2015 and 2016 playoff teams.

I really like our chances going forward. I do. Boston is missing Krug and they've already shuffled the lineups. They are not as deep and look exhausted. We forecheck before they can move the puck and we come away with nearly every 50/50 it seems. I really like our chances of closing this out Sunday. If there's one thing that's definitive, it's that this team isn't dicking around when it comes to putting their foot on their opponents throat this postseason. I definitely didn't expect us to win 2 road games and be up 3-1 heading home.

I still believe we would've won game 1 if we didn't have a week off.

Girardi seems like he is hilarious. Did not expect him to be such a goofy dude before signing him. Love it

Edit: upon second watch, two things stick out. Paquette gives give fives with both hands, so hopefully nothing wrong after the shot block. And two, girardi’s goofy hand thing he did was mocking his one handed tip in goal. Fantastic

Breaking news: we've won game 4 thanks to the refs.
xD xD xD

McDonagh looks almost despondent.... he just walks in like "yeah yeah we won alright" it seriously reminded me of the Jon Snow at a dinner party skit

I honestly don't know how you can lick the mouth of a grown man holding a stick and still expect to wake up with your face intact.

Would not have held it against Callahan if he'd crosschecked Marchand in the teeth.

If anything would give him props for not giving in and taking a penalty and especially after Tampa had already given up 2 PP goals.

I want to see him get payback on the scoresheet tomorrow and think his line is close to doing that. But I think him and the entire team have already turned the page on this.

There is way too much chatter around the hockey world about the lick and not enough about the play that sparked the whole thing. 2nd game in a row Marchand has tried to go low on a bolts player. If he succeeds there, there's no lick because Callys not getting up off the ice from that.

When and who did Marchand go low on in game 3?
Wait. On second thought I don't wanna see that.

Girardi who flipped over him

Warnings and slaps on the hand. Just wait til next year and they play the Pens and he touches Crosby. He will get an auto 5 game suspension.

They're just encouraging him to do it again and again. It's like getting picked up for a minor crime, sitting in jail for a few hours and getting out just to be a repeat offender and do it again.

I hope MSL hops on Vinnys shoulders Sunday and they join the handshake line so they can lick their tears.

 

[Stormbreaker]

If the league really wanted to make a statement he'd be suspended for not just the playoffs but the start of next year too.

Jets & Preds looking at each other like wtf we didn't do anything. It's literally 1 guy and he plays for Boston!

In other words any player other than Marchand will be disciplined. This is the 3rd or 4th time. I kind of want a player to lick another player. Then appeal it well you have him several warnings and you want to discipline me.

I'm reading it as that they'll actually start enforcing rules on licking now. It's weak that they're letting him basically get away with it, but they didn't do anything when he was doing it to Maple Leafs either.

Damn straight.

I'm glad that the NHL has, for the most part, turned the page on goonery and no-talent thugs on rosters just to be enforcers, I really am, but every now and then................

Which is the point. It's not the first time. The league should have done something about it, but it didn't, because it's more interested in TV ratings and ad revenue than in the integrity of the sport. The whole thing is revolting on multiple levels.

Pretty sure it was Girardi he low-bridged in G3.

Completely lame response from the NHL.
