Player Discussion Who Made You Most Nervous Whenever He Touched the Puck?

[GordonHowe]

Guy Lafleur, no doubt. The Bruins were always there with the Canadiens but Lafleur was the difference maker. I think the Bruins would of had a least two or three more Cup banners hanging in the rafters if it wasn't for him and Dryden of course.


Agree with BMC on this one Tuukka scares the hell out of me more than anyone has when he plays the puck.

Outside of Tuukka I got go with Jim Weimer, you just knew something was going to go bad when he was on the ice.

Jim Weimer. A name to strike fear into the heart of any opponent.

PS Yes, Tuukka is no Marty Brodeur. Neither was Timmy in that Tampa Bay playoff game (sic).

Opponent:
Guy Lafleur. And it’s not like him just having the puck, winding out of his own end, hair flowing in the breeze wasn’t enough. For games in Montreal, as soon as he touched the puck the fan noise would rise incredibly, putting you even more on edge.

Bruins:
Wensink/Byers
Matt Bartkowski

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Opponents:

PK Subban (MTL edition)
Alex Ovechkin


Bruins:

Matt Bartkowski
Matt Beleskey (post injury)
David Backes (end of bruins era)

 

[KnightofBoston]

Joe f***ing Corvo


Tomas Vanek

 

[Eddie Munson]

Kovalev for me. Guy had an uncanny ability to just score big goals against the Bruins.

Pat LaFontaine
Alexander Mogilny
Stephan Richer
Brett Hull
John MacLean
Owen Nolan
Petr Stastny
PK Subban

This may sound sacrilegious, but last year in the playoffs Pastrnak was scary as shit and kept turning the puck over at the point, especially on the PP.

The puck getting behind Pastrnak at the point as last man back is scary as shit.

Pastrnak being last man back is scary whatever the situation actually. He usually just ends up abandoning defensive position with a hopeless hit or telegraphed poke check.

 

[Bruin4Life]

Dennis shoots Wideman
Hill Gal
Matt Bartkowski
More recently matt belesky

Someone who just made me cringe in general watch skating was Trent Whitfield. Always looked like he was hunched over dragging his gloves on the ice trying to skate

when i hear bruins and nervous,
i just think on that

 

[UncleRico]

Opponent: Evgeni Malkin

Bruin: Hall Gil and Kaberle

honorable mention: Torey krug pinching up to keep a play in the offensive zone leaving Carlo on a 2v1 at bare minimum once a game.

Yup, Vanek was an absolute assassin against the Bruins.

 

[BruinDust]

Daniel Briere was another one of those players who always seemed to score against the Bruins.

 

[DKH]

Mario Lemieux and then the 2013 playoff Patrick Kane

Bruins the 2019 playoff David Pastrnak

 

[rocketdan9]

Mario Lemieux
Pat Lafontaine
Boone Jenner (playoffs)
Ryan O'Reilly (playoffs)
Erik Karlsson (3 years ago playoffs)
Mitch Marner (playoffs)

Can't argue with Lemieux. Dude murdered us... Reason #11 why I hate him. Hypocritical self-righteous douchebag, who also happened to be probably the best forward to ever play the game.

I hate that move he made on Bourque and on the goalie

I broke the table or something... I remember
