I wish we had different announcers for this game. I like Buccigross but not as an announcer. Kevin Weekes just annoys me. And if he calls Bergeron "Toews before Toews was Toews" one more time.....

Where are all the Chara critics today?

Where are all the Chara critics today?

Probably living well adjusted and balanced lives.

Stamkos' stick definitely interfered. He can't slide over with the stick in the pad like that.

 

[Spoked-B]

That's a bad call (IMO). Goalie can't recover to the post w/ the stick jammed into the pad like that. But as long as they call it both ways if it happens to Price...

 

[Bruinaura]

Jack would have a blast with all of Price's "juicy rebounds."

Bergy and Marchy wrecking the Czechs through 1 period

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Woooooooooooooooooo

bergy with the buzzer beater!!!!!

Poor Pasta looks overwhelmed but it will make him better

Marchand and Bergeron look incredible

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

idk guys what if 37 goals for Marchand was a fluke

 

[TheBigBadB]

Not going to happen but a Marchand-Krejci-Bergeron line may replica this with Crosby. I just know that a Selke winner isn't moving off center and not sure if Krejci can play wing, but these two really make me excited for the year. Hope they sign Marchy

Crosby to Boston e4

My kid went with BF and said she's second row behind net and says the pace is off the charts - texted Bergeron is calm as always and Marchand is on rocket fuel.

She hates hates Crosby but I sense it may be softening. Crosby no big timing and really good with Marchand. They seem pretty tight.

I hope Claude is paying attention to the style

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I do like the ref cam after the calls.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Pasta just crushed bergy with a shoulder check

 

[DKH]

Good news pasta with best check of game

Bad news it was on Bergeron

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I hope Claude is paying attention to the style

Claude is no dummy, one could only hope this is all sinking in.

 

[ap3lovr]

Bergeron, Marchand, and Crosby are on another level. I would love to see what they could do over 82 games. I bet all 3 would be over 100 points.

Where are all the Chara critics today?

I have been in the main boards, pitching all the good things he has done and how everyone there said he would not even make a South African girls midget team.

I was at work

Blindside hit.

Pasta knows better.

Don Cherry has a theory on why Team USA got smoked

Seidenberg was skating well I wonder if Claude's system that puts more emphasizes positioning and holding ground puts more pressure on knees ankles. I wonder if a more convenientional sysyem that has more skating and closing gaps would be less strenuous on the knees.

Maybe today was fluke

It was one game but it sure looked like Seidenberg in the right role can still play in the NHL.

Well Claude being a first-hand witness to the Marchand-Crosby-Bergeron magic hopefully this will at least put the idea in his head late in games down a goal or two to try Marchand-Krejci-Bergeron from time to time.

He did try it back in 2015 when Krejci came back from injury and it was nothing special. Granted he was far from 100% and Krejci was the one playing wing. Bergeron is just so freakin' good he can play any forward position I'd imagine and be effective. Heck he'd probably make a hell of a D-man if he wanted to.
