It just shows the kind of cancer Brad Richards is to the team. Beaver ruins any momentum. Without him playing, we can continuously play like this. We've played like this in spurts, but never continuously like this. It's good to see, I just hope it isn't too little, too late.
 
Dunno how their coach can complain when the refs miss a 4 minute high sticking penalty right off a center ice faceoff.

That takes some real audacity.

Team is playing loose, so some chances against are to be expected.

I don't know how anyone can talk badly of Boyle right now.

I don't know how anyone can talk badly of Boyle this playoffs at all.

This is 3rd line Boyle from his 20 goal season. Playing very, very well.

Seems that the 4th line has a lot to how the Rangers are playing now. Richards off it and an actual hitting/checking line looks like it is helping.

Considering the fourth line has looked like garbage (sans Dorse) I can't agree.

Better defense from G and McD, and legitimate scoring chances from the top 9 are what i'm going with.
 
I kind of thought that the Krejci penalty was one of those borderline ones, but yeah, how they miss the the ones that matter makes me shake my head. A high stick drawing blood is not a ticky-tack kind of thing, it's important.
 
Really hard to complain about the non call when the same thing happened to Chara the other day.

It's things like the ovechkin hit on McDonagh that get me.

Newbury has been better than Richards. At least he can take/dish out a hit. They've done a good job neutralizing the Bruins' fourth line.

I "love" how Rat Face cross checks our guys in the back in front of the refs, our guys turns around and he turns his head towards the refs..

Happens every *** time...

Annoying, yes.

But, Avery used to do that and pesky players of that nature do that all the time. Really not anything to get up in arms about, imo.

Still seeing way too many give aways and odd man rushes for my liking. Eventually, one of those mistakes becomes a treasure for the B's. However, with our depleted defense I don't really expect that to improve much so if we win, it will be with the way this team is playing right now.

True, and that makes my point too. Not being just a homer here :)

Edit: I think a high stick drawing blood should be called, regular season, playoffs, Stanley Cup Final 7th game
 
Bruins 4th line dominated us when Richards was playing

They haven't done much since his absence.
