Ah yes, the moral highground takes from you of all people is rich.
Why don't you do us all of favor: ignore me.
Saves you the trouble of seeing my "posts of legend", and I don't have to see anything from you either. It'll be like I don't exist! And that's a win for everyone!
Why? The Habs played Xhekaj 15 mins a night last season and he had the best on ice CF%, SF%, xGF% and GF% amongst all defenders on the team. His numbers for the most part were comparable with those of the Bruins' D despite playing for an inferior team. Granted he's usually not facing the best opposition forwards but the stats still suggest he's doing ok.
Not trying to paint him as some kind of star. But seems to me that he can play some sort of reasonable defense at least, on top of what he brings physically. For $1.3m p.a., I think he's fair value.

Now let's go Bruins. Start the season off right. Forecheck. Shots on goal. Look engaged.
Ah yes, Game 1 of 82. Excited to get the season started. Can’t wait to see the debut of Lindholm and Zadorov

Play Viel, play Wotherspoon, if Montgomery is telling them not to retaliate fire him. Take the body first. Initiate contact and mayhem. Defend your teammates. Stop worrying about instigator penalties, worry more about the lazy hooking and holding calls. Your goalie gets run, defend him then run their goalie. Play like the Boston Bruins used to play like before Cassidy and Montgomery. Be the hammer not the nail.
I was told these takes are flat wrong!
How dare we be the hammer and not the nail.
It's all fun and games til someone on our team is hit with a cheapshot and the career is over.

Would love to see this. Wasn't great seeing our goalie run by the player who sucker punched Marchy and concussed him. This was supposed to be a heated game and was kind of for a bit but to not see any retribution at all to Bennet was a shame. Looking at you Zadorov. Enough with being nice.

Absolute truth. I was around much of that time, if not most of it. It's been documented, including by a Globe article in the 90s.
In addition to selecting the rules for expansion and the merger, there is the crooked officiating, which persisted at least through 2014, when Dave Jackson, who is from Montreal, swindled da Broons in Game 7 (Pierre McGuire mentioned on air how bad the officiating was in that game and need I mention Bob Myers in 79 in the infamous too many men on the ice game), Montreal got the first two picks in the draft until 1970, allowing them to select two French Canadiens (Marc Tardif and Rejean Houle in 69 were their last two).

I'm not usually in the camp that things the Bruins have been wallflowers or pushovers in the playoffs these past few years but that right there was not a good luck. Bennett running the goaltender called for violence and the Bruins responded with just an average scrum. Only Freddy looked pissed off.

Listen up everybody. Stop talking shit at/about one another & unite against the common enemy: the Montreal Canadiens.
You know that toilet bowl wearing bunch of poutine swilling scumbags that have made life an absolute hell for the Bruins & us fans. Don't give me any bullshit about how the Hated Habs haven't won a Cup in 31 years (& counting!!!
) or how they have struggled the past 10 years to even make the playoffs (No, the COVID playoff run does.not.count.) The Habs & their snotty fans can never suffer enough humiliation.
For anyone with Bruins DNA Les Habitantes will always be Public Enemy #1. The Evil Empire. The Bleu, Blanc et Rouge that eliminated us in the playoffs every time we played them until that magical 1988 series. The Bruins can never own these bastards often enough or for long enough.
No Bruin can ever hit a Hab hard enough for me. No cheap shit like the Canadiens pull we're better than that. Tonight would be a great time for the new & bigger Bruins to show those wusses just how bad ass they are by hammering the Smurfs into the boards & wiping them out in open ice at every opportunity. Send them back to Montreal cringing in fear of Boston's wrath.
f*** the Habs forever

Let's see him earn that monster of a contract he wants....
He might just Sway the GM to make him a deal he can't refuse.
Honestly I think if Parker Wotherspoon had played he would have gone after Bennett. He's always done a good job of keeping the crease garbage free.

If you are going to the game, and feel like it, stop by the Pro Shop and say hello.
Ask for Mark (not the manager but the guy working the floor) and enjoy the game,
M.
