GDT: Game 17 Bruins vs Lightning 11/11/13 1PM NESN NHLN-CA

Just in from the game.

First of all...Poor Steve Stamkos ( Love him as a player) . It was painful to see him in such agony. Tough loss for Tampa. Best wishes for a quick recovery young man. I was pleased to see the Garden fans behave. Also nice to see the B's stand and give him an ovation as he was taken off the ice. Many looks of concern on the B's player's faces.

What a beauty from Danny Paille

Decent game from the b's .

I just watched the video of the injury. *shiver*

This is really bad for the NHL and the growth of the sport of hockey in general. It's an Olympic year, a big time to showcase the best in the world, and Canada just lost its best scorer.

I'd go so far as to say Stamkos is the most exciting player in the world. Think of all the people who hate Crosby, all the people who think Ovechkin is a punk, people who don't care about Malkin, etc. You never hear any of that about Stamkos. Nobody dislikes him, and everyone who watches him play are in awe. It's bad for hockey as a sport.

Canada probably will still get gold anyway, but Tampa is boned. They had a great start to the year, but I'd be shocked if they made the playoffs at this point. The Atlantic is too deep for them to survive without him.

I agree this injury is bad for the NHL. Stamkos is such an exciting player and seems like a good kid it is a shame for all hockey lovers.

I hate to see any player (well...there is one... ) go down like that but Steve is so good.

Bruins finally starting to look like they're supposed to. Two big division wins in a row, one point out of the conference lead. Let's hope they can keep rolling here.

Tuukka's 2nd SO over TBL.

Oh and my GDTs remain undefeated. Small sample size.

You need to do them more often Excellent Job !

Hfboards NHL seems to be ok with regard to the Stamkos injury just being an accident, but the TSN commentary board is blaming the Bruins for being a dirty team.

missed the game today but saw on my updates that Stamkos was carried off. What happened?

 

[Rancid McGoiter]

I can't believe how many people are blaming Dougie for Stamkos' injury. It makes me nauseous.

got locked up in a battle with Hamilton and slid feet first into the Tampa goal post. Broke his right shin-bone in the collision. tried to stand up and skate off at one point and the trainers had to basically restrain him from trying to stand before they put him on the stretcher.

His leg slammed into the goal post and broke. He was in terrible pain and it was tough to see. It was an accident and no one is to blame.

Sad to see. Love Stamkos.

Yes canucks & habs fans as always

Anyone blaming Dougie is just stupid and a fool.

ALL of the B's were watching with looks of concern for Stamkos on their faces.

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

Had to work today so I just watched some highlights. Nice to see them win 2 in a row against the teams ahead of them in the division.

Really sucks to see Stamkos go down though. Worst thing I can say about him is that he scores too much against my team. I'd take him over Crosby or Ovechkin any day. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

 

[Bi Coastal Bawse*]

LMAO at people saying they were surprised that Stamkos got a standing O but if it was a Nuck or a Hab they wouldn't

Stamkos is a warrior, not an embellisher and is one of the faces of the NHL

Don't think any Nuck or Hab is any of that

 

[The Macho King]

Hey guys. Tampa fan here. No hard feelings, and honestly I love the Bruins, I love Jack Edwards, and I even love the fans. You're a great hockey base, and just wanted you guys to know there's no ill will coming your way for this from us.

 

[Gee Wally]

Does anyone have a clip of Jack doing the call on this?

Thanks to both of you. Agreed hope he has a quick comeback. He's just a great player to watch and the kind you like to see on the ice.

Relatively speaking, not that many are. Just a handful of loud idiots who know nothing about hockey and/or hate the Bruins.

Thanks Fossy!

Well EJ Hradek is an idiot, so that means less than nothing thankfully.



Seems like it was the Yeti that got tied up with both Salo and Aulie when those players were injured. I'll be curious to see what their situations are.

early indication is #lightning stamkos didn't suffer overly complicated break and sochi olympics isn't out of question in 2nd week of feb.

I like Tampa. Love Marty and Stamkos.

Jack loves Steve Stamkos....almost too much.

I read your board and it seems like you guys get it. Nice fan base. I went to a game there once and folks were nice.

I was at the game and it was tough to see Steve in so much pain. The Bruins were all watching with looks of concern.

Once again...best wishes to Stamkos for a quick and complete recovery.
