[Bad Hat Harry]

[maxbme]

Is this the first Russian skater in Boston since Khokhlachev?

did pavel shen ever get a game with us? if not... i think so

 

[McGarnagle]

now go get kane

The lights in the arena will go out in the third period tonight, followed by organ music and red lights and Jack Edwards screaming THAT'S GOTTA BE! THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

LoL

 

[Troublesome 85]

Wasnt what I expected but I like it 2 heavy hitters for the playoffs didnt give up prospects

Do they do something else?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Hathaway is piece of shit!

OH, He’s A B now I guess I can work with that.

 

[DominicT]

It took 48 hours to close this deal. No evaluating.

CBJ ownership was not willing to retain on Gavrikov or take back salary.

Bruins could not make it work. In the end, this was a better deal.

 

[rfournier103]

I really feel like the Bruins are going all-in.

Even if they fall short, at least I won’t feel like management didn’t try their best.

I could live with that.





NOW GO OUT THERE AND WIN THE @&$@&$@! CUP!!!

 

[CAW1313]

Don't like Hathaway

I’ll take it a step further, I really really dislike Hathaway. Maybe he’ll grow in me as a Bruin but I highly doubt it. He’s dirty

 

[bbfan419]

I can see Gavrikov going to LA now.

 

[rfournier103]

Give Hathaway a chance. He might do something important in the playoffs. One never knows…

BUT WIN THE @&$?! CUP!!!

X 1,000

I’ve been hard on Sweeney at times, but IMO he’s done everything right this year.

Win or lose, I‘m very satisfied with what he’s done.

 

[CAW1313]

I don’t want Cliffy going anywhere, I can live with some of his lapses. Every defensemen has them. I like his grit and his toughness

 

[Jockularity]

I think Hathaway is a huge pain in the ass.

But now he’s our huge pain in the ass.

Not our huge pain in the ass, but a huge pain in the ass to every other team we play.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Holy shit boys

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Reminds me of one of the most amazing things that happened in Bruins history.

Opening night 1987……the Bruins picked up Willi Plett in the waiver draft a few days before because they thought they needed more toughness.

They had, Neely, Miller, Byers, Crowder, Shoebottom, and Blum already but they thought that wasn’t enough…

Plett got the biggest ovation during intros on opening night.

LOL

Hathaway = Plett

for me.

Yep…..that made them tough and one of the reasons they got to the finals that year. What a squad with a great coach!!

 

[Ladyfan]

Hate Hathaway, dude is a dick…

But the Bruins kinda need a tough jerk on the team.

Is he tough?..or just dirty....

 

[dredeye]

If we’re paying a premium to move cap why not the one with term left of it going to a team with all expiring d contracts.

Hope DS is right again.

 

[Grimey]

 

[LouJersey]

Is he tough?..or just dirty....

Nobody here thought he was ever tough until about an hour ago lol

 

[Alicat]

Is he tough?..or just dirty....

Tough as nails and a really good guy off the ice

 

[badbrewin]

Given some history, looking forward to that Behind the B episode where Marchand and Hathaway have that initial awkward intro.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Is he tough?..or just dirty....

Both

Hathaway is a good pick up for playoff hockey so long as he and Marchand don't create a penalty vortex which eats everyone's souls.
