Not big on those behind the bench seats. Maybe it's just me. For all sporting events I like to be a little higher to see whats going on. Then again I have never had really close seats.

I woke up to see the Bruins up 3-0. Saw the Smith and Nash goal. With 2 minutes left I turned off the game. The Bruins seem to be hemmed in their own zone a lot this season.

Cant understand how PC did not get defence help at all this season.

I don't sit behind the bench but next to it.

Good win. Looch got us started on the right foot.

I see what you did there

That's such bull**** that they don't even give the guy a hearing. He deserves to sit at least 1 game. He knows he's holding his stick in his hand...ridiculous.

Can always hope McQuaid uses it as fuel down the stretch

Eh

Who cares?

I doubt McQuaid is crying about it he will just wait till next they play. Must be frustrating for him since guys cheap shot him but wont fight.

Example:
Jannik Hansen

In other news.....

These next two games are going to be critical, not because the points are needed, which goes without saying. It's because it's against non playoff teams, where the B's seem to play down a notch and either lose, get a point, or pull off a dramatic win. This is what concerns me the most, I'd rather they be playing teams ahead of them to be honest.

I care. I bet McQuaid cares too, though I agree he wouldn't "cry" about it. I never insinuated he would.

Glass will fight too, which is the worst part. If he didn't like that little bump just turn around and challenge McQuaid, Adam will go no problem.

That butt-end barely missed McQuaid's eye. And butt-ending is one of the dirtiest things you can do in a hockey game. The league should be looking to set a precedent for something like that, not hitting a guy with the "maximum allowable fine" (which they know is peanuts).

I miss Gerry Cheevers -

 

[PlayoffBeard365]

Just got back from the game. Anyone mention the fan of the game being some dude in a yeti costume? It was awesome

Meh, he was not the real Boston Yeti. However, with Soda scoring and an imposter yeti in the stands I'm certain the universe has conspired to help Carl play like Carl.

I dunno, suspending Glass would actually benefit the Rangers. Letting him continue to play is the far greater punishment in this case.

 

[TCL40]

He had his goalie pads on . The boys on the bench were cracking up.

It was a fun day at the Garden

Could you see if McQuaid was injured from the Glass stick?

He had a fiesty game today and I thought he played well-just kinda ended on a bad note for him.

Agreed. Glass is a total tool. Imagine our chances for retribution will be many and sweet if we meet the Rags in playoff series.

Big cut opened on his face, just above nose and one eye, lots of blood and a VERY unhappy Quaider

Not a fan of it just being a fine but if Glass doesn't have a suspension history the fine is often the first step.

I'm pretty sure Marchand would have been suspended multiple games if he did that though. But it appears Rangers fans would rather see him suspended so maybe the fine really is the punishment.

Glass didn't fight McQuaid all game and instead opted to hit him with the butt end of the stick.

I missed Bob Essensa

 

[Bergeron37]

All I remember about the last time we played in Carolina is I wanted to shoot myself in the head after.

So ...If Marchy or Looch did that I bet they would get more than a fine. THAT is what pisses me off

 

[DitClapper]

Toronto is pitiful.

I 100% agree.

I realize suspension history plays a role in fine/suspension decisions but it really bugs me that using your stick as a weapon, cutting open a guy's face (requiring medical attention) only merits a fine.

Not to mention that the fines are embarrassingly paltry for the salaries these players make.

If you make a Million dollars a year that fine is the equivalent of buying a burger.

Yes,that was a low point among many this year.

I don't know why the B's have such a tough time with Carolina.

A B's win tomorrow would be sweet.
