This game popped into my head the other day, thought it'd be fun to look back (not that we have to look too far back to see us beat boston )

I remember that game! It was quite fun to watch. Special team, special year.

1:50 mark. Tender epic speed. And he was more popular than ak46 among habs fan at the time

You know your team is bad when you make Komisarek look like an offensive dynamo.

 

[donghabs98]

Can we have that type of PP again? That's a PP that's wroth watching!

The 08 Habs were such a fun team to watch. Fast, crafty and energetic. Too bad things would start to fall after that season.

Yep that was a great game, we had such high hopes for the Kostitsyns, oh well. Still feel bad for Savard, he was one of the only Bruins I liked. I wonder if we had Price of today in nets with that offense, if we could have done any damage?

I remember this, thank you for putting a smile on my face.

The PP was a thing of beauty. We need a better coach obviously, but whoever is in charge of the PP has to recognize that Galchy should be playing the side-wall a la kovalev. I find it to be a little bit of a waste having him so low in the zone

Carbonneau-Muller was a good coaching duo. That year was fun to watch and even in these short clips you get much more of a sense of a team creating things than you have under Therrien.

I remember being at that game. First time ever in Zone Desjardins.

wow, I'm jealous! Haven't seen a Habs-Bs game yet

 

[Le Tricolore]

I laughed at Smolinski.

 

[Sined]

4:36 Lapierre Hits Chara who then falls to the ice so announcer says "Chara punishes Lapierre"

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

lol @ the "Chara who punishes Lapierre" comment.

 

[Alexdaman]

Amazing how the game is now much quicker in only 6 years past.

 

[No More Subban]

Yup I do remember this game!

All 4 lines scored a goal in the 1st period.

 

[Slugger]

Wow, it's crazy to think how the core of the Bruins would change so drastically from '08 to '09.

 

[The n00b King]

Ya sure that was fun. But you guys need to remember that we had one of the worst 5 on 5 team in the league back then too. The PP was dynamite though and we all knew that teams couldn't give us more than 2 or they'd just lose.

 

[Alexdaman]

The game I also remember is our 8-0 win over the penguins in 2004. It was also a 6pts night for Souray

Couldnt find a video of it though.

I miss Kovalev...

 

[WeThreeKings]

What is am efficient PP?

 

[GREMLIN]

I wish we still had Higgins and Streit.

SK was so cool to watch, great skillset.

Blowout???

I don't know what it means anymore...

Wow, it's crazy to think how the core of the Bruins would change so drastically from '08 to '09.

I think a lot of Bruins fans point to that very game actually as a turning point in their recent history that led to them building the team that won them a Cup (or that's what they tell themselves to spin a beating from the hands of the Habs into something positive, who knows).

 

[Price My Man Crush]

People who actually say that the team we had last season and this year is the best we've had in a long time are so wrong. This 2007-2008 Habs team was amazing.

And don't get me started on the 2008-2009 one (for the first 3 months and a half).
