Around the NHL Part VIII

[aufheben]

For all of the macho fans that like to say the Bruins are a physical team, they're a ****ing skilled team. They're not the LA Kings. Using their physicality is just an excuse to complain about how soft we are and how we'll never win the cup.

They're both. Remember the 2011 Finals? Vancouver had tons of skill.

 

[OverTheCap]

They're both.

They're a balanced team, they have a little bit of everything - skill, two-way play, physicality, etc.

Yep. You don't stay a constant top team by excelling in only one area.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They're both. Remember the 2011 Finals? Vancouver had tons of skill.

Vancouver also had a lot of injuries, plus this is a different team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How many players much less defensemen can score the goal Chara scored? Jaw dropping.

Nonetheless, the Bruins physical play was a huge factor in that series.

I'm pretty sure he is from another planet. We're having it checked.

The word that came to mind, surprisingly, was "graceful."

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What are the odds that a 6'9 behemoth not only becomes one of the best defensive d-men in the league, but also offensive. Chara is an outlier if there ever was one.

 

[Fitzy]

"My dad can beat up your dad." Must still be the commonplace childhood debate in Philadelphia elementary schools. Quaint.

 

[truebluegoalie]

I really hate that automatic delay of game penalty.

More then anything, I am shocked by his ability to stay so healthy. He is a fascinating specimen. Glad he chose our sport.

If only our specimen turned out that good.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't care what the result of this game will be, if we want to get out of the first round we need home ice against the Flyers. They're scary as hell at home.

So are we, just not in a good way.

Flyers are good home team, not away. They're the opposite of us.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Great... Flyers tie it with 24 seconds to go.

 

[Raspewtin]

Are you serious Bruins?

 

[Holocene]

Haha of course

 

[McSauer]

Bruins have got to be ******* kidding me

 

[Hire Sather]

There will never be a worse season

 

[Raspewtin]

We really needed that win against Calgary.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why do I root for garbage teams like the Rangers that don't even give a **** against Calgary when I can root for a real team like the Flyers? That's a team that gives. **** the Rangers. And **** you again Lundqvist.

 

[Vitto79]

Haha of course

Yep my thought exactly

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Hahahaha.

Never seen a puck bounce like that in my life.

Just our luck!

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Bruins doing their game 6 Stanley cup impression

 

[Hire Sather]

I'd feel no different if the Rangers blew that. Crushed. Day ruined.
