http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/...ass-angry-over-another-lucic-spear-on-emelin/

not a spear and guys do that all the time..looks like a slash to me.

The first line needs to awake.

Tuukka has to stop a few tough ones.

The B's lost that game...They did not deserve to win.

They need to play B's hockey tomorrow...screw the Habs and their fans...Screw the refs. Screw the negative posters on this board.

Play your game.

 

[Derfel*]

Well we can't have refs impacting playoff games, even if the rules are black and white. Hurr durr.

Uh huh.

Well, maybe read this instead: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=451501

The refs gave the Bruins exactly what they were looking for in Montreal, they let them play.

I get that Julien will complain to the media sometimes, but the Habs organization truly takes it to a whole new level.

What a bunch of ****ing babies, go take off your pampers and put your big boy pants on you ****ing nothings.

 

[Greek_physique]

It's kind of sad that our 4th line is invisible. Only Thornton is making things happen.

What's up with Campbell?

 

[MD Bruins Fan]

I honestly don't think the Bruins were the better team last night. Maybe after going down by 3, but still...they went down by 3......

Seriously. We have been behind 90% of this series. This is on our guys just not executing.

Bruins need their stars to step up

In three games vs the Habs, Krejci has averaged almost 24 minutes in ice time, collected but one assist, landed seven shots on net, and stands an ineffective minus-2. His linemates, Milan Lucic on the left and Jarome Iginla on the right, have combined for only 2-2--4. The Bruins’s trademark is to be a heavy team, strong and intimidating, often in possession of the puck and in charge of game flow. Thus far their No. 1 line looks slow, out of synch, a virtual non-factor.

What's particularly notable about this is that Krejci has earned something of a reputation for being a "clutch" performer in big games in recent years. Thus far in this series, he's been anything but.

Sad, yes. But I think it's even sadder that our first line has been invisible.

 

[Greek_physique]

It is...but the reason I bring up the 4th line is because with the exception of Montreal's PP goals, Vanek and that 1st line has been invisible too.

There 4th line is killing ours.

Duly noted. Theirs is bringing energy; ours isn't.

 

[Pie O My]

the way they played the last 2 seconds of the game is the way need to play for 60 mins in game 4. yes, you'll get penalties, but the alternative is what happened last night. God do i miss the Cage and Seids on the pk right now!

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I have a plan for next game: don't be down by 2 after two like the last 3 games. It will be much easier for the best 3rd period team in hockey to win if they don't need 3 goals everytime...

For all the Rask bashing, tell me one soft goal he allowed? The softest for me was the Bourque one in game 1 and it was on a 3 on 1 after a brutal Krug turnover. Other than that, deflections, PP and breakaways. I would like if he was making a huge save from time to time tough... But the goals he allowed, no softies.

Price has been great. But we are making him look better than he actually has with all these missed open nets, wiffed puck and posts. Get it in.

This team won't give up. There aren't even down by 2 in the 3rd, coming back to tie it twice in 3 games, and they certainly won't give up in this series. Some say the Bruins are lucky to not be down 0-3, I say the Habs are lucky to be up 2-1 after how we played the first two. But who cares with these what if. It's 2-1 Habs and we need 3 more.

Like we thought at the start of the series, a lot of things have to go wrong for the Bruins to lose a game against this team. I'll be shocked if Mtl win 2 more. I won't be surprise if they stay at 2 when all is said and done.

Enjoy the come back guys.

It's sad when a guy like Moen is taking liberties with Iginla late in the game; yet guys like Campbell haven't gotten in the face of Plekanec or DD.

Krug is showing more spunk then our grinders.

are there any advanced stats that show whether the level of urine in Emelins pants rises or falls in direct proportion to Looch's interest or disinterest in playing a physical game?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Bottom line, the Habs top players have been better than the B's top players.

Subban & Price are carrying the Habs.

If there's a silver lining in this cloud, it's that the B's often come out angry and play their best hockey following a lackluster loss like last night's game. Hopefully, that will hold true tomorrow night as well. If not, then we may have to consider the unpalatable possibility that the Habs simply want this series more. It certainly looks that way to me, based upon what I've seen thus far.

It sucks when a line stops overachieving, eh?

They are the best 4th line in hockey, educate yourself fool

You have to understand them. They are leading 2-1 and it might be their last win of the season. If they don't gloat now, when will they?

Must be tough to not be relevant for the past 20 something years, I guess.

Can't say I'm really sure what exactly banging bodies and creating energy has to do with "overachieving".

 

[MtlPenFan]

I live here.

I know the Pens chances against the Bruins are NIL in a Conference Final, and yet I'm praying for the Bruins to win. This is how much I can't stand their team and their fans.

Irreversibly nauseating.
