GDT: Stanley cup champs vs non Stanley cup bruins

[CapitalsCupReality]

They neutered Ovy. Wilson doesn’t have his goalscoring game to fall back on.

Special shout out to those at the HFCaps meetup last night @calicapsfan @Midnight Judges @StrikingDistance

No boot is going to stop me from seeing that banner raised in person

How was the meetup? As awesome as expected?

You may need to do the GT thread tonite. Vs Pens. Dust off the magic and see what we have?

Anyone know if Eller will be playing tonight? That looked pretty nasty.

why wouldn't he?

You ought to change your username.

He got tuned up pretty good. Just hoping he didn’t get concussed.

He played later in the game last night.

I didn’t realize that. Good to know.

Thought about it, still thinking about...

Wilson needs to evolve his game, instead of big hits he should just jump people like Krejci.

Wilson doesn't need to pick his spots.

If the league deems that it's okay to start punching non-fighters who still have their gloves on then Wilson should just give Marchand a taste of his own medicine.

No sound out of the DOPS, so I assume they are ok with Marchand here.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It was a fight when Eller eventually dropped his gloves. I never for one second thought he would be punished.


Next time hang onto your gloves Lars and just bum rush him and get him on the ice or smashed into the boards.

 

[BLONG7]

Marchand should be suspended for that. That is assault.

Marchand is pure garbage when he does that crap.................a good player who just can't help himself...I hope the next time you guys play them, someone will take of that $hit-rat!!

Good. I hate the Caps, but I hate factually inaccurate statements even more. Congrats to you guys.

 

[SpinningEdge]

The way Burakovsky played last night - I wouldn’t mind seeing him get too line minutes as well.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Nobody should be surprised with Bura in a contract year.

Marchand's excuse for fighting an unsuspecting Lars Eller:

 

[marcel snapshot]

So, anyway - were the Bruins that bad, or are we like the Stanley Cup champs or something.

Yes - Tukka Rask was bad. Like the only NHL caliber goal he allowed was Ovie's. The rest were stoppable or grossly misplayed.
But the B's had very few scoring high-grade scoring chances, even though Djoos was on the top pairing, and Bowey was in w/Orpik. The structure, team D, and transition were ridiculously good - which is not stuff you can just chalk up to adrenaline from a banner-raising ceremony

 

[foundhockey]

Great opener. I like the new guy, Dowd.

 

[4thTierSport]

Marchand will continue to be Marchand until the league decides to make an example of him as well. If they truly are in the mindset of player safety this year, I'd expect at least one long suspension from Marchand given his stupid antics. Guy has always been a little *******

They don’t give a shit about player safety. Schnoze was trying to rip off the helmet and feeding punches before he was even heads up with Eller. Sounds like really dumb actions by someone that has been suspended and fined close to 10 times now but he won’t hear shit from DoPS.

Maybe next time use that energy to stop the other team from scoring a goal or 5.

Tonite is a huge litmus test, already. Roadie part of a B2B, against the hated Pens, as their home opener.

I wouldnt expect a win, but sure would be nice to play well and not get skated out of the building (as we just did to the Bruins)

I thought the Carlson goal was a pretty legit goal too. Tuuka was pretty shaky in this game.
