[Emerz]

Any news on a Kadri suspension?

Think the hearing is around 12 or 1, probably hear how many games around 3pm.

 

[rfournier103]

Canadians are mostly nice, except when it comes to delusional leaf fans lol

Don’t know if it’s just Leafs fans.

A friend of mine was found out as being from Massachusetts while he was in Vancouver 2 years ago and was treated very badly on several occasions.

He’s a very kind man and I don’t think he would provoke anybody.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Rooney grew up a Bruins fan and has been screwing them to show he’s not a homer since

Yup. Meanwhile in Montreal, they've been gifting the hometown team PP chances since birth

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Play playoff hockey, not this uninspired BS we saw in game one. Game 2 intensity baby!

Yeah still don’t get what the first game was about,could be up 2-0.

I live in Toronto but am a lifelong Bruins fan. Happily watching the game on Sat my wife said to me "you are an asshole and everyone hates you". We take our hockey seriously here. I get to work this morning and get bombarded by all the leaf fans about what a dirty SOB DeBrusk is,... and how Kadri barely touched him, how DeBrusk broke Dermotts nose, kneed Kadri,....i imagine the refs are going to be very whistle happy this evening. I will be at the game wearing my Bergeron jersey!

Yup. Sorry. Should’ve included hab & nuck fans. Nuck fans are still butt hurt after all these years.

 

[Bumper]

I know people are split on him, but I think Krug may be the most irreplaceable D-man on the team....

you REALLY do not believe that Grzelcyk and the others are ABLE to drop pass the puck toward a forward on the point that is being pressured by a defending forward and proceed to pinch toward the opponent's goal as the breakaway heads toward Rask? maybe they are just UNWILLING to play for the other team so blatantly.

reminds me of the time I had to go to work after the Pacioretty hit

The vast majority of Canadians are very nice - but you find jerks anywhere.

The fans in Rogers Centre were very nice and gracious to the very few Boston people there but I have never heard an arena get so silent than when Bergie scored the shorthanded goal to make it 3-0. At that moment the Cup was ours and everyone knew it (except Eddie Olczyk )

 

[Shoebottom88]

Yes I tipped well but she had to hold my Bruins credit card

Haha. Way to disCREDIT her . Sorry, couldn’t help myself

 

[rfournier103]

Never met real live Canucks fan in person. Not that admitted to it, anyway.

The Canadiens, Maple Leafs, and Senators fans I’ve met in person have been nothing but cordial and respectful. I have heard horror stories, but nothing bad has happened to me.

Maybe I don’t travel enough?

The bad ones are a minority. You mostly see the good ones. Canadians are easy going.

Love that video! If anyone is interested, it’s at the 1:07 mark that my irrational hatred of Eddie Olczyk began and continues to this day. To even suggest that Bergeron would punch that puck in was borderline sacrilegious. I’m getting worked up again just watching it 8 years later!!!

 

[Bumper]

Regarding the helmet, amazing how alot of players helmet aren’t tighten. Most of all, Chara.

who can reach high enough to dislodge Chara's cap? at 5'8.1", Krug absolutely should strap his on much tighter than he does.

 

[Oli the Bruins Cat]

Play like they did in Game 2, this series will be over sooner rather than later.

My sister in law is a born and raised Canucks fan. Basically after 2011 we just stopped talking hockey because she can’t deal with the fact that the Bruins won....

 

[Paddington]

@Alicat I will post the GDT later today

Having a nice breakfast at Fran's on Yonge Street and the server came over and said 'I told the cook you were from Boston'

Then she says Kadri should not be suspended as all he was doing was protecting our players from your gorillas.

View attachment 214745

Frans across from the Eaton Centre? Haven't been there in ages. I remember being parked out front one time and a guy came out of the emergency doors at St. Mike's hospital across the street. He proceeded to strip completely naked and tried to break into a car by hitting the window with his belt. I called the cops and sat there thinking, 'Please don't come to my car'. I can hold my own but having to get into a physical altercation with a naked guy is a no-win situation. I hope he got whatever help he needed.

I hope they come through for you,and give you lots too cheer about,nothing worse than having to suffer through a loss in a visiting teams rink.

Way to focus on his mistakes. His contribution to one of the best pps in the nhl far outweigh his brain farts. He’s an offensive stud. PP goals are especially valuable in tight playoff games.

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Lmfao I can't believe they actually put Rooney in this game, could the "goal" be any more obvious? I'd bet the house that we get a minimum, 5 PK's tonight.

Gimme the over.

 

[False Start]

In Game 2, Cassidy started the game with the 4th line and even gave them 4 offensive zone starts. (Compared to 0 for game 1).

The 4th line also outpaced the 3rd line in terms of shifts.

Kuhlman wasn't trusted and played under 10 minutes, resulting in the double shifting of Backes and Coyle on Krejci's RW.

If Mojo and Debrusk can go, we should see a more stabilized set of 4 lines. What was most encouraging was the play by the 4th, Acciari, Wagner and Nordstrom. They won a lot of battles, even against that top line vs Tavares and Marner.

Our top guns can keep up with theirs. We have to outpace their bottom six guys with ours. Kadri being out will only make that easier.

Let's go Bruins!

 

[Bumper]

Krug is an ABSURD relative minus. I am a firm believer in powerplay systems panning out well without sacrificing so many 5-on-5 and shorties against. the math on Krug is not pretty. do some? or just keep pretending that it's cool to give up so many in hopes of a rare powerplay that is improved by the roster anchor in question. the guy he pairs with is a HUGE plus despite the leak.

I think the hole damn team just showed up to play game one ,only a few did for game one,let’s hope it’s the game two team that shows up again tonight ,and hopefully they won’t spend most of the game short handed.Thats my biggest fear .

It will be interesting as to how many games he gets. Hoping it is 10-12
