Clearly its only ok to bash other teams in the Habs forum! How do Bruins fans have mental issues? We dont cry everytime one of our players is checked or falls or is sneezed on by another's team player! It is getting pathetic that everytime a hab is hurt by the bruins that it needs to be looked at by the police or a suspension should come down. Emelin ran into a freight train plan and simple! Its hockey not soccer maybe you should invest in an indoor soccer team if you cant handle a sport with contact.
See ya in the playoffs and goodluck with the rest of your season!
You're digging a bigger gap in your perception and what the reality is on these boards.
You're creating a false caricature of Habs fans (which we already know you bruins fans and media do), and if you're not already aware, your organization and fanbase is now pretty much known for its gross hypocrisy when it comes to whining, complaining and embellishment. You just make noise. Biggest examples of brats and bullies who can't take what they dish. All you do these days is cry about stuff. So your post is actually a caricature of a typical bruin fan (although I've even a lot worse).
Just to be clear, Emelin IS a freight train who ran into a very solid player who would have absorbed a hard hit that they both would have survived just fine from. For whatever reason (I'm not Eugene Melnyk), Lucic pulled his leg up as if someone was gonna hit him in the nuts and that's what caused the hit to result in injury. It's nobody's fault, but it's not that Lucic is a freight train that caused it, it's that he shielded himself with raising his knee into Emelin's leg. Not implying it was dirty, just trying to get it out of your head that it was anything to do with Lucic being tough. We know he certainly doesn't want to be in the way of a Subban walloping, so give me a break with the how tough he is. Gally takes bigger hits 10 times a game.
Again, huge disparity between our reaction to things and yours. Can't handle a sport with contact? How does that comment make any sense in light of what happened? Why do bruins whine about it when they get hit and then call other's pssys when they...oh wait, nobody here is at ALL complaining about contact. Barely anyone is blaming Lucic. You are coming here to defend a nothingness. Is it your guilty conscience? Do YOU think Lucic was unsportsmanlike cuz if it weer the other way around, you'd be complaining? Are YOU the ones who react when your own player gets hit and injured? Savard, Horton, Bergeron's first concussion?
911 us? Gimme a break. Do the league a favour and join Claude next time he wants to improve the game and make sure it gets rid of the exact things that sports channels ridicule bruins for doing.
Would have been nice if Lucic had not done what just seems like a weird way to brace for a hit (with your leg?), but it happened and he probably didn't mean it. Sucks for us, but there are threads already talking about how to handle the loss, not whining about it. Emelin is a HUGE loss to us IMO and not just for his hitting. I would any day rather play the fully healthy Bruins and see who comes up on top. You're gonna get Bergeron back, so good for you. Pens will get Crosby back, good for them. We won't get Emelin back, but that's already an internal problem and Therrien/Bergevin to my knowledge have not said a single bad word about Lucic.
