GDT: WhaleCanes @ Bruins: AKA Whale v.s. Bear

[FreshSeabass]

If we are being honest we have maenalanen who can play with physicality. Just plug him in. Maybe we see his offense pick up with staal and his old friend tuevo

 

[Canes]

Who was it in '09 that got under Chara's skin so bad in the playoff series? Cole, LaRose? Tonight shows that he can still clearly get distracted from the game that's going on, to the detriment of his team.

Scott Walker

It’s kinda BS that Ferland has to get injured answering for a hard, legal hit.

In fairness, he's been hurting himself eating breakfast lately.

 

[Crazydounut]

A bit sloppy at times. But overall a solid period.

 

[Tryamw]

Going into tonight I'd have been happy leading after 1. I'll try to stay happy

In fairness, he's been hurting himself eating breakfast lately.

Can't call a player injure prone until he injures himself chopping potatoes.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Columbus, Florida, NY Islanders also all lead 1-0 after 1.

 

[Wolfpuck]

+1 after 20

Let's clean up that defense boys!

Scott Walker

Walker did that fake fight, Aaron Ward thing. I think

 

[TheBigKahuna]

If Ferland landed on top and landed more punches, but left the game injured while Backes is still playing, did he really win the fight?


(Also interested in your opinions about the sounds of trees in empty forests)

Not if he got another concussion....which is my estimation.

Scott Walker

Walker did piss the bruins off in that series (punching Ward out was awesome) but it was LaRose who was driving Chara nuts.

+1 after 20

Let's clean up that defense boys!

I thought we were good defensively. Our problem has been exiting the zone once we make the defensive play. It's been that way for a while now. I really believe we're better than Boston at 5-on-5, especially with Pastrnak out. We've got to make sure we stay out of the box. I worry about their PP and we know ours can't do sh!t.

I think it was a mistake sitting melatonin for this one.

 

[Canes]

I just remember Chara acting like Walker had punched his wife or something.

His game 7 OT goal to end the series probably also pissed off Chara as well.

 

[Borsig]

Did he even get hit after that fight?

Concussed how?

 

[My Special Purpose]

Not if he got another concussion....which is my estimation.

I'm not sure if he "got another concussion," so much as he's been trying to play when not 100 percent recovered from a concussion. But the way he plays, it's got to be near impossible to get past it. I bet he got his bell rung on the Johansson hit and stuck it out as long as he could. I don't think Backes even hit him.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Sens tie the Islanders 0:26 into the second.

 

[SlavinAway]

I love that the Finnish hockey elf schooled Chara. Seeing his dumb expression looking at the puck in the net after he tried to muscle Aho was f***ing beautiful.

 

[Unsustainable]

Why hello everyone

 

[Kaako Kappo]

First goal given to Aho

 

[Roboturner913]

**** Ray Ferraro, seriously. **** him sideways with a lunch box

 

[Tryamw]

Why hello everyone

Helloing is Unsustainable...

 

[AD Skinner]

love what ferland brings but man am i leery of how many years in the nhl he has left...
