What did Chicago do to get back to the SCF that the Penguins didn't?

when all else fails personal insults work best eh. Its pretty unrealistic to say the bruins have no skill

Nobody said the Bruins have NO Skill. However, answer this questions....a relaxed interpretation of the rules favors which group of players - Crosby, Malkin, Letang or Lucic, Horton, Chara?

The Bruins did a much better job of playing to the way the playoff are called.

That's why I never understood letting Gill walk, not like he was all that expensive.
 
Exactly. It would have been nice for the Penguins to be smart enough to take advantage of the fact that evidently blatant infractions are now completely overlooked instead of occasionally overlooked. Maybe they'd still be playing hockey, right now. But they didn't and the Bruins did. Like I said... great for them.

It shouldn't be something we're all jumping for joy about, though. Especially because of it's league-wide implications. People so quickly forget pre-05 hockey, how utterly miserable it was and how we got to that point, in the first place.
 
There is absolutely no correlation between playing "tough" and "hard hitting" and gameplanning to break the rules because you know you can get away with it. Nice try, though. Bonus points for trying to pull at people's heartstrings with the Steelers stuff.

The NFL, by the way, would never allow it's product to get drug down into the mud as much as the NHL has. Another reason why the casual fan will never take the sport seriously.

The bruins play by the same rules as every team. We usually get shafted I the powerplay dept as well
 
Yes... the Bruins labor under the same disgraceful officiating as the rest of the league.

They count on it, in fact.

These posts just boggle my mind, the steelers fanbase has made every effort to keep hard hitting and toughness in the nfl. So different when it comes to hockey

Why are you so insecure? Show me where anyone is blaming the Bruins? They boggle your mind because you either are unable or unwilling to read and process and acknowledge that the NHL is making a conscious decision to change the way the game is officiated in the playoffs, and we don't enjoy it. The Bruins are doing absolutely nothing wrong, the NHL is.

Or: team from the north east good league bad.

i hope that clears it up
 
I really don't know what to tell you. I blame your team for nothing, aside from simply taking what is there. Like I said... I wish the Penguins were smart enough to take advantage. That seems to be the direction that the league is going and everyone in charge seems just peachy keen with it, so why not?

Actually we count on good goaltending, and a highly paid defenseman. Thats what wins,combined with our skill

Congratulations, I'm happy for you. Now please leave.

I'm sorry that differing opinions are upsetting to you, but believe it or not, it's okay if another fanbase doesn't like a certain style of hockey for reasons completely independent of your team.
 
now we see just how deeply rotted their deluded notions of disrespect are - at first i thought it was an inspired shtick, but now i can see how genuinely felt this self-aggrandizing paradigm is.
 
That's... not what I'm doing at all. In the slightest. Officiating is not, in a traditional sense, the reason the Penguins were swept. Far down the list, actually. I'm attempting to illustrate that the league is allowing it's product to slip back into the gutter and that officiating is a huge part of that. Like it was pre-05. The Boston Bruins are tertiary to this argument and only part of the conversation (aside from your bizarre insistence that they should be) because they play obstruction hockey and are having great success with it. Other teams do, too.

I'm frankly now completely astounded at your utter lack of reading comprehension. Baffled, really. I would continue attempting to communicate with you but I think maybe I should just cut my losses, at this point.

Enjoy the rest of the playoffs, for whatever that's worth.
 
You know... I think a lot of it truly is that so many people have now grown up watching this ********* throughout the mid 90s onwards and really, truly believe that's the way "good old fashioned" hockey should be played. And that what happened post 05 was "needlessly tinkering with the sport." Then they get all butthurt about it when you dare mention the fact that the "good old days" they pine for was actually the absolute nadir in the sport.

Lol u guys are mean eh, reading comprehension.. try writing french

And you know what? I actually do apologize. I didn't realize that French was your first language (though I suppose I should have assumed). You speak/write very good English so I didn't mean to be disrespectful.

Its all good man man no worries, I dont like writing in french...
 
I wasn't aware being fluent in multiple languages made you an authority on the way penalties are called in the NHL playoffs. Very interesting. Maybe you could type us out a 5 page report on the subject. Single spaced though and 10 point font.

Alors laisse-moi te répondre dans ta langue d'origine afin que tu puisses comprendre entièrement les raisons pour lesquelles les autres membres de ce forum sont contrariés avec toi.

Essentiellement, leur point principal de contention est que tu viennes en «territoire ennemi» pour les «convaincre» que les Bruins sont une équipe dont plusieurs membres sont habiles lorsqu'ils ont accusé cette équipe de jouer un style de jeu qui ne soit pas attrayante. Ils n'apprécient pas tes interventions parce que, d'abord, les habiletés de l'équipe et le style de jeu qu'ils semblent employer, à leurs yeux, ne sont pas deux éléments mutuellement exclusifs. En d'autres mots, ce n'est pas leurs habiletés qui les empêchent de jouer le «trap», et si Pittsburgh le voulait, il pourrait tout aussi facilement l'employer malgré les habiletés de leurs joueurs. D'ailleurs, il faut comprendre ici que c'est le style de jeu qui est attaqué, et non les Bruins spécifiquement.

L'autre problème ici, c'est que tu sembles avoir une sorte de complexe qui ne te permet pas d'accepter des opinions différentes du tien, ce qui est particulièrement confondant dans ce cas, vu que tu sois venu dans le sous-forum d'une autre équipe dans lequel on s'attendrait à des points de vue contraires au tien. Pourquoi perds-tu ton temps à essayer de changer les avis de tout le monde ici, sachant qu'il est clair qu'ils n'en ont pas l'intention? Ce n'est pas les forums principaux ici (HFBoards main forum), tu n'as pas affaire à t'interposer ici de cette manière. Penserais-tu que ce serait une bonne idée de visiter les forum des Canadiens pour «éduquer» le monde là-bas chaque fois qu'ils traitent Marchand de bon à rien?

...

Are we allowed to post entire posts in French? I basically paraphrased everyone's replies (the most recent ones anyway) to him as best as I could.

No idea what you wrote there but I'm guessing it translates "Boston is ruining hockey":naughty:

I had a Boston fan PM me about a comment that was made about the league reverting back to the dreaded clutch and grab era during the playoffs, and he told me that hockey has always been a clutch and grab league. I told him based on his comments he must be about 20. He showed me up by stating he was 23. So basically that means if he started to watch hockey at age 7, that would be 1997....pretty much the early years of the clutch and grab era. Now you see why these fans don't remember the good old days without obstruction.....They probably can't comprehend the fact that I used to pay 79 cents for a gallon of gas either.

It blew his mind that I was in college at that time.
 
Yup yup and yup....
Clutch and grab hockey is back!!

Expect 5 other teams next year to follow suite. Then 10 more teams the year after that.

Suddenly....
We're back to 1996.
 
New league-wide conspiracy: the zero tolerance for obstruction penalties meant a much larger number of guys scoring a lot of points, thus driving up salaries and FA madness, nullifying cap room increases. In order to improve margins, owners have secretly approved more clutch and grab hockey to slowly push point totals down, cooling the race to average players getting 6M contracts.

It's UNCLE GARY's FAULT!
