@Rubber Biscuit You called it you beautiful bastard.

5 game point streak. MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAVE SOME 'NOG!

 

[Sevendust]

f*** this team ... Charlie gets it hit like that and there is no response. They can shove this win down their asses. f***ing shame getting pushed around all game. I became a Bruins fan because they wouldnt get bitched around. This team is just weak

 

[Therick67]

I'll settle for just one.

the guy isn’t even a regular, if he’s the difference this team isn’t built right

 

[BBB24]

Demand he go out there. He’s on the bubble on this roster. Demand it. It’s 5-1

You can’t be serious?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Way to go Bruins . f*** Holtby ! Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[aic90]

Nice to see the win. But does anybody here seriously believe the B’s - as constructed - could beat the Caps 4 out of 7?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Ritchie is useless. Skated around the perimeter of the late game scrum doing nothing.

 

[Emerz]

Ritchie is dead to me, guy is sitting there with his gloves off not even throwing a god damn punch after watching McAvoy get ran out of the game, just casually floating around the back of the pile.

Pathetic.

 

[Over the volcano]

Who did you see stand up??? This was disgraceful. They won a regular season game in December. Big deal.

They blew out the best team in the league who they haven’t beat in forever and did it without their sure fire hall of fame captain.
IMO that’s a pretty good night.

 

[Fair Warning]

Happy they won but they looked like smurfs compared to the Caps.

 

[Fenian24]

7-3 win against the Caps

thanks, I’ll take it

hope Krug and McAvoy are alright

Loved watching Carlo finally step up against Ovi and Pasta continue to come into his own physically. Good win for the team

Washington’s a big tough team who are suuuuper opportunistic with their physicality. **** em. Tonight’s for Boston

Yup, over on Mass Genetal. Cowards, this team is full of cowards.

 

[Don Cherry]

Due to their concussion histories I will excuse Bergeron & Backes for not fighting. Although I'm sure Backes would have started throwing if he'd been there instead of Bergeron.

Maybe Backes would have. Bergy has defended his teammates in the past. I hate to see them fight but Bergy looked cowardly. I bet he wasn't feeling well.

 

[northeastern]

Caps are dirty little shits. Wish oshie ate his own teeth after that bush league hit on McAvoy.

f*** Wilson, looked tough attacking pasta being held down by the refs.

But in the hockey game bruins dominated. Ended it early then just sat back. Holtby with a bad night he'll try to forget.

 

[CptxMorgan]

**** this team ... Charlie gets it hit like that and there is no response. They can shove this win down their asses. ****ing shame getting pushed around all game. I became a Bruins fan because they wouldnt get *****ed around. This team is just weak

Gonna be a lot harder to attract star players in the future when they know other teams are gonna be able to take these kinda liberties without an on ice response.

 

[Sheppy]

I’d make a pitch for Simmonds for the third line.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

1. We beat the Caps at Home which we have not done in forever
2. We got quota
3. We chased Holtby
4. We got scoring from everywhere
5. Wilson got tossed

Enjoy it folks, cant get any better of a night than that.

 

[Pia8988]

You can only turn the other cheek so much before you have to actually f***ing do something.

 

[trenton1]

I still am surprised that Bergy did nothing when poor Mcavoy got slammed. The hit was clean though.

It's probably a good thing that Marchand turned away and missed it. He probably would have kneed Oshie in the head and be out for 12 games.

 

[northeastern]

Ritchie is useless. Skated around the perimeter of the late game scrum doing nothing.

Yup. He brings nothing to the team. Time to day goodbye when senyshyn gets back.

Wouldn't mind Chara and Kmiller back next time we play the caps.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

We're much closer to the smurf Habs teams we laughed at than some want to admit.

No teeth to these Bruins

 

[The National]

Then become a fan of another team.

Oh dear, I suppose you think our Bruins are perfect then?

 

[AM Bruin]

Maddening how pissed I am after the score shows 7 - 3 Bruins against their nemesis.
Ritchie could have done himself a huge solid if he'd have fed Hathaway at the end of the game. Instead he chooses to skate around with his helmet off fixing his hair...

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Who was it (I think Clifton) that OV threw a hit on like 8 minutes after the puck was gone?

There were “worse” hits in terms of violence, but it was the most obvious interference call that didn’t get called.

Ovechkin sprinted into it from near the blue line.

His team followed that leadership no question.

That was the Cup finals all over again.

 

[Number8]

It’s easy to say “go after someone and take a suspension”

if he does and takes a suspension he probably doesn’t play again.

needing to rely on one guy to do all the physical work is a ****ing joke. This team is constructed so ****ing soft, from top to bottom.

Double speak. Ritchie was obviously signed to be a physical presence who would chip in some goals. He’s not scoring and now you say he shouldn’t have to be the physical part either. What should his role be then?

If B’s are soft, is it ok for one of the few guys who is supposed to be tough to opt out because he can’t do it alone? Jesus.
