Holy Kitty Genovese! All those people all around him, didn't even one of them point the guy out to security?
Im surprised the fat ******* threw away food.
Just read through last night's GDT. Never again. I will not return during close games, too negative.

You're just now noticing this after almost 3 years?
why do people always say this? It's the heat of the moment, what do you expect? I say "What happens in the GDT stays in the GDT".
Let he who has never thrown their remote at the tv in disgust be the first to cast a stone.
Thought it was Hamilton's worse game to date. Not that he played bad or getting on his case, just evaluating.
He had more defensive errors in this game than all the other ones combined in my opinion.
Still looks like a stud, and he is still learing/growing so not concerned... just saying.
Kelly I think needs somebody who can make him better and Bourque doesn't seem to be that player. Kelly had a great season last year because he spent a lot of time playing next to Seguin.
Does Caron make the third line better though? MacD even? Bourque is doing what he can. He's trying. Kelly and Pev aren't playing like they normally would either. I think most the hate on him is unwarrented.
My biggest 'issue' (for lack of a better word) about singling out Bourque for the criticism for the 3rd line is that he's the one that I have the lowest expectations for - people often say that Kelly & Peverley would arguably be 2nd liners on some other teams, yet they're the ones that are getting a pass because Bourque (who was, IMHO, brought in to be the 13th forward, and only is playing as much as he is now because everyone that was supposed to step-up took a step-back instead) isn't "making them better"..

They should be helping make their linemate better, not counting on him to make them better. Kelly & Peverley are $3m players ... it's time to expect them to play that way rather than excuse their poor play because of who they're skating with.
I'd argue that Bourque is our 11th best all-around forward (even though I love Thornton) and probably 10th best offensive forward.

And in general, the whole Bourque thing is eerily reminiscent of last year & Pouliot. "He's holding them down" ... I just have a hard time blaming the other winger for when Kelly gives the puck away or whiffs on a shot.
I agree with all of this, especially questioning if Caron makes the 3rd any better. I don't think Bourque has done anything to warrant the hates he's getting. He's responsible in the defensive end, and isn't afraid to get his nose dirty. He likely never going to move higher than the 3rd line, even on other teams, but it's not like he's doing stuff to hurt the team. Once Kelly gets back up to game speed (I REALLY think he's feeling the effects of not playing during the lockout), I think the whole third line will be performing better.
Was really disappointed with Bourque's shootout attempt. With his hands, he's got to be better.
Didn't he play over in Europe in a B league? Thinking Germany or Swiss B?
Were you equally disappointed (or moreso) with Bergy's? I thought Bergy's was easily the worst of the six from the Bruins?
