Puck over glass, penalty every time no matter what. Even in OT in the playoffs. Punching a guy in the face over and over, while he's just standing there not doing anything. No penalty, this is playoff hockey baby!
here's some of the weapons they confiscated on the way into Gilette stadium
the rusty meat cleaver is my favourite
Bromson is charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, possession of an electric stun gun and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Foxboro Police said the assault charges were due to Bromson’s “actions and words with an object that caused three witnesses to be in fear for their safety.”

Bromson, who police say was drunk during the New Year’s Day incident, is believed to be living out of his car.
I've seen enough Habs who can't and shouldn't fight get rocked big time in recent years.
Beaulieu got rocked this year and looked horrible his next game out.
Tinordi got severly hammered and could have jeopardized his career.
Moen, Parros etc. Prust was the only guy I wasn't afraid would get himself killed.
Eller pshaw...
There is a time and a place for a good scuffle but that wasn't it and Eller wasn't the guy.
How about **** you Bruins three guys having run Eller on the final shift because you lost the board game to him all night long you bunch of turds.
You better make sure you're right if you're going to make such a condescending post.
Here is a question from a reporter after the game :
Reporter : "Michel, earlier this week in tampa bay, you gave max pacioretty a chance to shoot in the shootout and he said he was really struggling, he was shocked to get that chance, how do you feel he has reacted since having that opportunity to win the game and how much pressure you feel has come off his shoulders ?"Yep, MT couldn't wait to put them back together. Perfect accurate wording. Zero bias. Just going by what MT said. So I stopped reading your post after that since I just assumed it was going to be wrong like that first part of your post.
Michel Therrien : "Well, he's a player, first of all, Patch I got a lot of confidence in him, like tonight, the fact that Gallagher was back, they got so much success this season, putting those 3 guys together. And we already started planning that in their last game in the 3rd period, I don't know if you noticed, but we put Plekanec with Patch and I got a good feeling that Gallagher was going to be there for today, so we set the table for Gally's comeback."
You get punched in the face. You don't act like a punching bag. You show up some courage, you answer the bell and you punch back. You try to show some sense of honor and some pride, and you man up.
It was shameful.
As for the rusted cleaver ... well, just confirms that the guy is living in his car.
poor guy sounds like a ****** xmas - seriously you have to be a major **** disturber to get kicked our of a hotel
Except that the score was 4-1 and the game was already well in hand when the Bruins tried to spark something for themselves. Absolutely no point in fighting them. The game was already won.Even though goonery, and possibly fighting, may be on the way out it isn't out yet. Eller definitely needed to man up, throw a punch or two at least. Stick up for yourself and show the Ruins you will not turn the other cheek.
I still say to this day if whichever one of the Sedins it was had hauled off and decked Marchand when he was slapping their face that the Canucks would have won the cup that year. After Sedin did nothing that was it, the whole team was emasculated and had no chance at winning the cup.
Whats a joke is giving Eller a fighting major. I remember Barnaby used to goad players all the time into fights then turtle. The refs would give the attacker a 5 for fighting and Barnaby would be laughing on the bench.I don't agree at all but not at all.
It's hockey. Not boxing. I have no problem with guys fighting after a cheap shot or something but there was ABSOLUTELY no reason for Eller to drop there. Not at all. We were leading and the Bruins were frustrated. Eller had his first great shift of the game and did nothing remotely physical on that shift outside of winning puck battle. Hayes wanted to create momentum by fighting and Eller would have been dumb to answer to that.

Eller never even tried to fight or instigate but he gets the same minutes. NHL is a disgrace in the officiating of games compared to other sports they can't even use their brains to figure out how to properly officiate a game.

The refs ****ed up. Eller didn't even deserved a 2 minute. Never dropped his gloves, didn't throw a single punch.
The call on the ice was 4 minutes each for roughing. Hayes clearly dropped his glove and threw punches at Eller, anyways, didn't change the outcome of the game.
NHL refs are the worst in professional sports.

Yes, a fight where he punched up to defend the captain of the team.Wasnt Tinordi benched the last time he fought?
Say what you want, if you've ever been on a bench, you know the kind of vibe it sends to the team when you see one of your teammates bend over and turtle in front of an opponent without even trying. It's a loser attitude from one of the biggest losers to have donned this jersey in recent years.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.
Maybe like in Europe?
Fighting is hardly tolerated in even today's NHL game. It's silly to expect a guy who doesn't fight to drop the gloves with a 3 goal lead late in a hockey game. Especially when you consider how his coach often seems less than thrilled when a lot of the players do end up fighting.
