I was coming back on here to apologize, I didn't mean to come across so harsh or make it personal. Edwards and Brickman just get me all worked up because I am surrounded by Bruins fans here and they all drink in their biased announcing and its a joke. It still sticks out in my head with Brickman saying (and I paraphrase) 'I just wish all the refs were required to play the game before becoming refs because they have no idea what is or isn't a penalty'. This rant of course came after what was a clear penalty on a Bruin but he didn't agree...or didn't want to agree.

I agree Rimer is a homer...it is one of the reasons I often listen to the other team's announcers. Its a shame because I actually think Shelley does a decent job (better between the benches than in the booth).

I assume this topic has been discussed before. Don't care for the Wings announcers either. I do think the Rangers, Caps, Blues and Ducks are some of my favorite pairings to listen to.

No reason to apologize my friend!

Ha! Jokes on Buccigross we gave up that hope along time ago. Some never had it in the first place anyways.

What'd I miss? I cancelled GCL so I can only watch the home games. What did Marchand do?

The scoreboard fell and landed on Jack Edwards head! It was amazing!

He knocked the puck down with a high stick at the blue line so they blew the whistle. He felt that it wasn't a high stick which prevented him from a good scoring chance if play continued. Out of anger, he took a wrist shot against the glass. Probably said some stuff as well. Ended up with a 10 minute(maybe game) misconduct.

It's kind of pathetic when you really think about it. This team excells at winning games that don't matter.

Three GDT made by EspenK. 3-0-0
100% result. The main point - he is against our tanking. Me, by the way, too.
Still can't understand call on Marchand, now give a misconduct for high sticking in offensive zone to end of the game?

Edit: per Portzline " #Bruins Marchand is getting boxed for unsportsmanlike. Didn;t like offside call by Chris Rooney, fired puck into corner. 4:16
to play."

Next he'll have the players running cross country and playing ping pong for their fitness routine.

I was coming in to post this very thing.

to the bolded. Maybe I'll stop.

I still need to see where this Korpi thing is going. Last two games he has given up eight goals, and we only win one of those games with a rare scoring outburst.

For the teams sake, a nice win. For our drafts sake a horrible win.

From now on do the GDT's for the draft lottery and the start of next season

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Whatever, ESPN Hockey Martyr.

 

[Dr. Fire]

If anyone is interested, the game highlights at NHL.com are now called "Condensed Games". No longer called "extended highlights".

Just FYI.

I am also taking a wait and see approach with him and its hard to excuse Buffalo...or Edmonton for that matter. However, Boston is the #3 scoring team in the league.

Good idea.

Wonderful and correct idea. Stop... I hate rags, EspenK make GDT to our two games vs. rags in this season please

I feel like Hartnell is morphing into a similar player as Brett Hull when Hull started aging. I find this interesting because Hull was able to be effective for years after he could no longer skate to keep up. It has to do with the way Hull used to and Hartnell has been creating space to play the puck in the offensive end.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Another win that doesn't matter...

 

[CBJ goalie]

Great win, after that 4-0 debacle with the Sabres.

I mentioned this before, in another thread, but if this game was played earlier in the season they probably would have lost.
They used to get down after being scored on, especially so quickly after they scored - but this game, they kept on playing strong and held the Bruins off.

Hope they can keep this momentum up vs the Red Wings tonight.
