GDT: Bruins vs Leafs - 2/2/13 - Part II

[Braunbaer]

I hope Marchand was sat for precautionary measures and that it's nothing too serious. Otherwise we might see Spooner pretty soon

Well, he did take a few shifts after that incident if I remember correctly.
You could be right. Him being able to play right after that should be a good sign.

 

[Neely08]

Seguin non-goal was a horrible call. As was Siedenberg's interference. He did everything he could to not touch the guy. I also think Tuukka got lucky, that was a weak call, too.

2 points.

Loved Chara when he went full Slavic monster on the guy who hit Boychuk. Mcdermit w/ the 2nd round KO was nice, too.

Good sign w/ Marshy was he tried to skate it off. Maybe just a sprained shoulder.

 

[Nightslyr]

Well said man.

They played a stinker the other night. Lost as a team. Tonight they pulled together and worked and ground it out. What more can you ask after 4 games in 6 nights.

And as or this we are vulnerable and targets.......hogwash nuckle dragging bull sheet.

6-1-1 is a clean 75% winning percentage. Hell, 5-1-1 was a 71.4% winning percentage. Yet, reading some messages, you'd think the team was well below.500.

Is the team perfect? No. Is there room for improvement? Yes, in many areas. But the team has gotten off to a historically good start, and there's more than enough time for them to gel and for Chia to add parts.

Life is good.

Night=Complete

 

[22Brad Park]

Not happy with way Bruins handled Marchand tonite.He was clearly hurt tonite and there was no need to let him come back out regardless what he said.They needed to get gear off him and treat the injury asap.Then to let him do an interview was laughable too.Like 17 other guys in there and him hurt and doing that,Unreal.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

wow Anaheim is up 2-0 on LA already. Watching it on hockeystreams.

Very nice win. Thankfully Toronto was without two top 6 forwards. Bourque and Soupy really picked it up tonight. Hopefully Marchand returns quickly. 6-1-1 and bergeron seguin and Lucic have a combined 4 goals. We are only going to get better.

QFT.

Look at the Rangers and Philly.

 

[Artemis]

Is it just me or are the refs really bad this year ?

I usually think it is lame to blame them but they seam to be terrible of late

I've been thinking the same thing. And it's not homerism; they're bad everywhere.

 

[LouJersey]

Whoa.

Chubby pulling a Joe Thornton move.



I love it.

He got word that Tim Hortons only had two powdered jellies left so he had to get to steppin'

 

[Spoked-B]

Whoa.

I love it.

His excuse: "I'm not the captain . . ."

Yeah center ice confirms that. Been really bad.

Leaf fan coming in peace

I told you guys earlier this would NOT be a cakewalk and the leafs would give your team the biggest fight of the season, and I was proven right.

All in all good game, you guys won because of the Bruins dominant play in the 1st period and because the Leafs refused to take quality shots on net all game long.

Even though the leafs lost, I'm not disappointed because we went down swinging.

Y'know, I kind of think the Bruins trainers and coaches know a wee bit more about what's going on with their players than we do.

Boston Bruins ‏@NHLBruins

Coach postgame said Brad not playing for the rest of tonight's game was "cautionary"-he had been cleared to play the third..^CS

 

[BklyNBruiN]

I don't want to hear or see another thread about the Buffalo game please.. lol

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

Nice boring road win at the end of a very busy week. All is good except for the mounting injuries...which we all knew were going to be an issue this year. Happy to see Bourque finally get one.

Good timing for a three day break and only two games the whole week.

Moral victory! Wahoo!!

 

[SerenityRick]

Not to keep harping on this but Erskine got 3 games for elbowing meanwhile Stafford didn't even have a hearing for his elbow on Hamilton. The only difference seems to be that Simmonds was hurt on the play..

and yet, the Stafford elbow seemed a lot more premeditated than Erskine's which looked completely reactionary.

Whether you think Hamilton tried to embellish that or not.. that seems completely ridiculous that it wasn't even looked at from the league.

Anyway.. I'm done complaining about it. moving on.

Ummm...did you miss the Sabres game?

Yea it looked it too.The kid came back and left two different times. Why fool around with one of the only players you have that puts pucks in net? Would been nice now he had of gotten hit hard into boards on that same shoulder and done for yr or something.No need to be risking it this early.Just my take.

This game was the Bruin's biggest fight of the season?

Bruins had to fight back from being down on the scoreboard FOUR times after 2 periods in their 6 wins...
