The three words that best describe The Habs are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!

 

[KnightofBoston]

This far into the season and our power play is till above 31%. Totally nuts

 

[Wiggleboom]

Imagine another blow-out and then Julien got fired? That would be amazing. (I like Julien and he’d still get his money so he’d be fine)

 

[TP]

I'm scared!

 

[prizminferno]

Feels like as must a win as you're gonna get in the NHL

GDT RANT: POST THANKSGIVING


O Hockey Gods:


I am thankful that the Bruins have another opportunity to crush, destroy, hammer, truck and otherwise embarrass, shame & humiliate those poutine swilling twatwaffles from Montreal.

Amen.

Jack Todd: NHL's ugly November a reminder that winning isn't everything​

Bergevin is a good GM. He has brought in Philip Danault, Jeff Petry, Shea Weber, Max Domi, Nick Suzuki, Tomas Tatar, Jonathan Drouin, Joel Armia — all acquired through deft trades. He was able to turn his biggest mistake at the draft table, Alex Galchenyuk, into Domi. A fair return on a No. 3 pick.

Meanwhile, does it matter that Julien is a quality human being, one of the best in the game? I think it does. Now more than ever. Look at a Bill Peters and you understand immediately that winning is not everything. Peters has plunged three organizations (the Flames, the Hurricanes and the as-yet-unborn Seattle franchise) into an escalating crisis.

Julien will never embarrass your organization. He will never abuse or mistreat a player, verbally or physically. He will never be a jerk to the media or the fans. Obviously, setting the bar at “better than Bill Peters” is pretty low, but Julien has won a Stanley Cup and he is one of the most respected coaches in the league, on and off the ice.

So take a deep breath, go with the flow, and try to be patient. Things are going to get better. I promise.

Canadiens great Guy Lafleur has successful lung surgery - Sportsnet.ca

At the request of the Lafleur family, the hockey club released a statement on Sunday about the additional procedure performed on Thursday.

"Guy Lafleur underwent surgery at the Centre Hospitalier de l’Universite de Montreal (CHUM) on November 28," the team said. "This procedure was performed in order to remove a lobe on one of his lungs, as well as to remove ganglions."

Lafleur had under gone heart surgery on Sept. 26.

The statement said the recent operation was successful and that Lafleur will remain under observation at the hospital before returning home in the coming days to continue his recovery.

Lafleur’s family thanked his medical team and hospital personnel for the care he’s received.

 

[Gordoff]

I just hope that the officiating stays out of the way and lets the boys play. Unfortunately I know that won't be the case. ****** the Habs and the "official" idiots.

I hated him but also respected him

I hated him but also respected him

He killed us as many of them did. But he could score

 

[bobbyorr04]

This far into the season and our power play is till above 31%. Totally nuts

Maybe that's the reason the officials are trying so hard not to give the Bruins too many PP's ..but lots of penalties instead


"The Bruins PP is just not fair to the other teams so we have to ignore as many infractions against them as possible.. but don't be shy about giving them penalties" - from NHL officials minutes 2 weeks ago

 

[Paddington]

Bruins riding high.
Habs stumbling and bumbling.

You know you're a longtime Bruins fan when you think both streaks will come to an end

Would love a win ( surrounded by Habs fan at work ), would only feel sorry for 1 guy I work with lolllll

I think it will be difficult for the Bruins to match the Habs intensity as the Habs need a win in the worst way and the Bruins really don't. Hopefully the superiority of our team will be enough to win the day.

 

[bobbyorr04]

I all my many years of watching the Habs nobody scared the hell out of me when he had the puck like he did .

Agree ...Guy Lafleur and Yvan Cournoyer were both scary to me back in the old days

...but the guys in stripes were even scarier

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Oh... No Marc Joannette for tonight's game? Shocked! But alas, still a QC ref in for the Canadiens. They should have gone with Rooney to double up the Bruins f***ing.
