Recalled/Assigned: Cunningham recalled

[TCL40]

Could this team get any smaller ?

Don't ask this question-because the answer is "it can."

Half the team seems to be rookies or. Providence Bruin players.

Hope Iggy gets better soon.

Is Cunningham a right wing?

 

[PB37]

Essh... we only have one right handed shot on the wings in the form of Nick Johnson with Iginla out. I know it's not that big of a deal, but something about that bothers me. We should have called up Knight ( RH shot ).

yeah, I was like "live long and prosper", Iginla? That's a little deep after a fight.

lol.

 

[Bridges31]

I'd be kind of surprised if Iggy misses a game over that, especially since he returned during the game.

I've done that exact thing to my finger before (only it was the pinky) playing hockey when I went to make a glove save on a slap shot without my glove facepalm: bad reflexes) and surprisingly as nasty as it looked, it didn't really hurt that much.

 

[Rocko604]

Congrats to Cunningham. Along with Lucic, one of the all-time great Vancouver Giants.

 

[BubbaBoot]

Iginla's had 67 fights in the NHL....he'll drop them, it's part of his game. Sheesh!

 

[TheBigBadB]

I think julien needs to call the Habs coach and ask them how they play a small sized game. Mucking the boards is continually getting to be a weaker option for strategy for this team.

That's awesome. The Boston red shirts lol

 

[Pay Carl]

Per Bruins twitter, he missed practice because he was undergoing an exam. Whether he's out probably hasn't been decided yet.

Ahh, finals are always tough. Didn't realize Iggy was a student

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Paille out per official Bruins tweet.

 

[ODAAT]

Not sure where it belongs but I thought I just read DJ Bean say Paille upped for one more year on Twitter? ?

Joe Haggerty ‏@HackswithHaggs 2m
Per a source, Jarome Iginla and his formerly mangled left ring finger have been "cleared to play" tomorrow vs. Flames

That's old news. DJ was just commenting that Paille always gets upstaged.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

I'd like to see him wear #79 0r #89.

I don't know why.

Omg this is begging to be photoshopped with all the new guys

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Awright....for the 3rd time, it was a totally sarcastic post, in response to a post full of what I thought was a totally stupid way of thinking.

Every single word of it was tongue in cheek!

I've really got to remember to use the thingies....

Edit: My mind is blown that ANYONE took that post seriously.

Can probably be chalked up to the 100,000 tons of crap that has been spewed about our teamfor the past week.

Looch is the one who told the Bruins about Cunningham before the draft.

You're thinking of Brendan Gallagher. He trained with Lucic and Lucic told Bruins management they should draft him... and they didn't.

 

[GordonHowe]

well at least the team is getting younger

Oye

Incorrect.

Absolutely did not happen- revisionist history/story told after Gallagher emerged as a legit NHLer last year.

Kirk, isn't Gallagher's Dad a trainer that has worked with both Looch and Cunningham? Wouldn't be surprised at all if Lucic put in a good word for him (Cunningham) at some point.

 

[Hali33]

This is quite the team we're putting together these days. Droppin' like flies.
Well at least a lot guys in Prov are getting a taste of NHL experience. And there's not really many important games coming. It's probably the best time out of the entire system to have the team in shambles.

 

[Kirk- NEHJ]

Do you think the Bruins were going to get Lucic's opinion on a guy he never played with?

It didn't happen, period. Not the way HHAW described it- Lucic did advocate for Cunningham- the player he actually skated with & would know something about on the ice- not as a workout buddy.

But don't mind me or anything- I only talked to Bruins management, Cunningham's agent & Malkoc about it How on earth would HHAW know Lucic told management to draft Gallagher too? Answer- because he didn't.

I am curious to see Gallagher"s second half numbers this year. He plays much bigger than he is, he is always around the net, gets in goalies faces.

I have noticed that Eastern conference teams have stopped giving gallagher the benefit of the doubt when he is buzzing around the net. The word is out and Eastern conference teams are making him pay for going to the net.

He did put it in a good word for Cunningham. That's an established fact. I was commenting on the assertion that Lucic put in a good word for Gallagher. He didn't.
