How i missed play offs hockey!

The comeback in 3rd after bad 2nd was fantastic. Forecheck the crap out of them. Here's to a long run, thanks boys.

The bank passes at Ottawa's blue line in the 3rd were the difference. That's how you break that 1/3/1.

Hell baby
:rant: This MUST be a suspension!

I think you could make the argument, especially since they love punishing the result more than anything and Miller got injured

He will not be suspended though. Because of course he won't :(

But maybe though because he is a plug and he did hurt a guy with an illegal play

I have NO logical reason for saying this - but I sense this team is going to make a run at the Cup.

Can't believe Krejci didn't play. That means the Bruins sustained 4 injuries in the final 2 games. ****ing sucks.

My understanding is, is that Cross was solid all year long in Providence.



Cross had the best year of his career and was just voted MVP by the players.

Is this sense as solid as the one when u said u have a feeling that Tuukka has given up on the Bruins, and no longer cares for his career?

I mean, I hope you're right on this one, but I'm just checking.

no offense meant. Saw earlier request for highlights and posted link to the ones I'd seen in twitter without reading whole thread.

Somehow the NHL thinks that MLB's stance on video clips is a good idea.

Yea, the kids are all clamoring to play/watch baseball these days.

People don't understand how far Dr Tommy Cross has come since being drafted. Especially over the last few years. He's become a very solid dman. He's very strong dman. Isn't afraid to get nasty if needs too. I know people joke about him being with us for so long but he reminds me of Boychuk. He's been paying his dues in Prov.

No doubt he would be up playing or will be playing on an NHL team soon. He's good. Not flashy but he's come a long way. He doesn't make mistakes. Just a solid, mature dman. And he's only what? 28. Kid would be fine if brought up here. In fact, he looked just fine when he got called up that one time.

I admit, I've never seen him play in AHL but yeah, most points this year since he entered AHL, less PIM than in previous years and highest +/- so far.

Saying he's only 28 in hockey is kinda like saying "wow I can't believe that (blank) died. They were only 75.

Didn't chiller return to the game or did he leave again afterwards?

I thought he was ok?

Tell that to Tim Thomas.

Him finally breaking through and becoming a capable NHL-caliber D-man at age 27-28 isn't out of the realm of possibility. It's rare for sure, but not a massive stretch.

There are teams and D-corps he could play for right now, probably not any of the playoff teams, but their are D-corps where he'd be good enough for 3rd pair.
