GDT: Game 31 7 PM - Blue Jackets invade Boston | NESN, SN, TVAS (French), WBZ-FM 98.5

Funny how most consider Columbus the bigger and tougher team yet they have a whopping 5 fighting majors, and only have won one fight all season.

Its because Columbus plays big and have a ton of Grit up front. Something the Bruins are severely lacking in. Just take a look at their forwards, Foligno, Atkinson, Jenner ,Dubinsky ,Calvert and Anderson.

You do realize there is less and less fighting in the NHL and that fighting does not translate to toughness?

Yea, they just win games instead of fights. How about that!

According to many here it does. Which is why I was shocked to find they only fought five times.

Also fighting does translate to toughness because you gotta be tough to take a fist to the face, bit toughness does not translate to fighting, agreed.

 

[Braunbaer]

According to many here it does.

Yeah, but many people here also think toughness wins you a hockey game. Like in 2011 when the big bad Bruins won against the soft Canucks.

That 4th line is so tiresome.

They average 6 1/4 hits per game, 4.79 shots per game, Kuraly is 44% at the dot. They all average over 10 1/2 minutes of even strength ice time per game, 8 total goals, combined -16... Why won't they switch it up at all?

I would love Anton Blidh up here playing on that line. Perfect fit

Bruins absolutely intimidated that team.

Toughness and intimation did win the Bruins a stanley cup.

Someone who throws puck separating checks? He's not useful here! We need more small guys who go "hit" and bounce off!

believe it or not the correct move right now is to swap Krejci and Bergy.

one must keep the goods fresh lest they go stale. if it hasn't worked through 2 periods, go back. it's like, go that way, really fast. if something gets in your way? turn.

[Rubber Biscuit]

...and Timmy.

He might have been the most intimidating guy around during that spring

Some yes. Others not so much.

Both times I've done it the Bruins have lost. I am not going to jinx them like that anymore

 

[TCB]

Pasta and Marchy extends their point streaks and Bruins win 4-3Pasta extends his to a league high 12 games.

 

[Deleted]

If they cut out the silly errors I reckon they will be good, 3-2 Bruins.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Time to start a winning streak tonight!

One of my favorite moments was Lucic hacking Burrows in the ankle, who sold it (naturally) then Lucic punching him in the side of the head. It was fantastic and i was in tears laughing...
