a little dirty? Im pretty sure the Boston have most players suspended for illegal hits this year.

by Anders Jensen on Jan 22, 2012 4:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Okay, more than a little dirty. Yet despite the suspensions, they’re the best team in hockey. Is it because they have superior players? Not really. We have more talent, so does Vancouver. They win because intimidation works.

by fiveredapples on Jan 22, 2012 4:05 PM EST up reply actions  

No they win because they have really good players on all 4 lines. The Bruins are a very very deep team, its not because of intimidation that the bruins have the best scoring differential.

Oh, they’re all-stars. got it. Nice theory.

any time one of the best teams in the league has a physical dimension to their play they get the kind of complaints the Bruins are getting now. It’s happened to us many times over the last 38 years.

I like it better when other fanbases are whining about us.

by reaper1221 on Jan 22, 2012 4:18 PM EST up reply actions  

lol we can dream :)

one thing that might get them, is that while they do legitimately play a physical game, they also seem to have some players that play too close to the line and tend to step over. If they keep that up and continue to be called on it, it could bite them in the ass sooner or later

I mean you guys tend to play a physical game, (and every team has a guy or 2 that plays close to that line) but I don’t see you guys crossing that line as much

I like to pretend they didn’t win it the first time. I never said they would esplode this year, but give it time. The fact they are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL only contributes to their limited time. They are relying on Thomas to keep their side of the ice an iron trap, and are not scoring.

The Canucks, Black Hawks, Red Wings, Flyers and Rangers should all be able to play even with the Bruins in a play off series and if the Bruins begin to lose some of there players to injuries they will fall of abit.

by JerseyDriver on Jan 22, 2012 4:12 PM EST up reply actions  

the only real issue that I have with reffing is a lack of consistency

I just wish that:

If it is a penalty in the regular season – it’s a penalty in the playoffs
If it is a penalty in the 1st period of game 1 – it’s a penalty in the 4th OT of game 7
If it is a penalty to one player – it is a penalty to every player regardless of perceived history of diving/embellishment
(I also think lack of consistency is one of the things (not the whole reason) that creates a lot of the diving/embellishment that we see from players of all teams sometimes) lol

Yeah, but you and the refs missed a “classic” interference call that directly, and causally, led to a Bruins goal.

Yeah, thanks, hadn’t seen that. Unfortunately, it lends credence to my belief as to why the Thrashers were sold in such a hurry, when Phoenix was still out there. Given Dallas was in bankruptcy as well, Bettman apparently saw a “bird in hand” with Winnipeg and let Atlanta go. Atlanta is/was a very important TV market and it never made sense to me to get rid of them over Phoenix. Unless there were too many irons in the fire, as it appears there were,.

And while a few people have thought my idea of contracting Phoenix and merging NYI into NJ and creating the NJ Islanders owned by Wang was nuts, this would also lend credence to this and also possibly facilitate the league restructuring (7 teams, 4 divisions)

I know being down 3-1 is not a great position but pretty good period. They just need to keep hitting and fighting this team. Like to see Shelley ask for round two with Chara win it lose. Coburn looks feisty as well.

they’ve been doing fairly well. When we play them it is always a close 1 goal game and they’ve been playing hard, fast hockey when we play them. They seem to be about on par with last season I would say

Couture has been really great for them this year and he’s dangerous (scoring-wise) when he’s on the ice

Yes, but not usually with that much time on the clock, and usually with something like a fight, or a power failure. Not to clean up hats !!

Yeah, they do that sometimes. Usually it’s for a late scrum that results in a shitton of penalties but I’ve seen it.

It happens if the glass gets broken and there’s less than 5 minutes to play in the period, so there is a provision for it

There’s a rule that says that if there is any prolonged stoppage within 5 minutes of the end of a period, the intermission can be called then. They will drop the puck with the remaining time. The horn will then sound, and they will immediately start the next period.

At this rate, Scott Hartnell should just refuse to play in the All-Star game. They don’t deserve him.

Haha, I’ve seen them send a team off early for broken glass, but I don’t think I’ve actually seen it for a hat trick delay. It makes sense, I just don’t think I’ve witnessed it before

I hope the Flyers brass realized what we’ve been missing the last few years. It’s amazing how the crowd responds to body checks. Even though we’ll probably still lose this game, it’s the best game I’ve seen this team play in 5 years. There’s no coincidence that guys like Jagr, Briere, and JVR are out, and guys like Z, Sestito and Shelley are in.

by ThatsGoodKoolAid on Jan 22, 2012 4:52 PM EST reply actions  

Win or lose, we have the recipe for success. I don’t think we’ll probably lose, but sure it’s still a decent possibility. It’s a 1 goal game after all and Boston has strong 3rd periods. But, whatever advantage they usually get from being intimidating is gone. Now can they beat us on talent alone?

by fiveredapples on Jan 22, 2012 4:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, this is normally when we layoff any checking we normally do. Keep pounding them.
