Sports Talk - Title TownSports Talk - Our Home for the 2004/2007 World Champion Red Sox, Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX Champion Patriots! SEVENTEEN TIME NBA Champion Boston Celtics, 2011 winners of Lord Stanley's Cup Boston Bruins!!!
I liked the commentator's statement after the 3rd period fight (the B's already had the game in hand):
The bruins have beaten the Canadians, now they're beating them up!
I really enjoy watching them again. They play like a well oiled machine.
They attack the puck like a swarm of hornets, creating more than their share of scoring chances.
It was a great win and the shootout win over Chicago wasn't too shabby. Great group of guys this year, and although they don't have a pure goal scorer, they have the right mix of everything else. Starting to look like old-time hockey again.

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
Great game last night. That place had the electricity that the old Garden had in the 80's. Did anyone else see Chara pop that guy two games ago? He went down and had trouble getting up.

Me and the lil' hockey player are lovin life right now. I have not seen them play like this in years. It's all coming together, I hope they can keep it up.
I loved it when they crushed the Canadians.
Last nights game was a hoot. Looked like a minor league game for the first 10 min.
I think he looks much smoother on skates this year, last year he was a little gawky...but he has a blistering shot.
Absolutely!
I don't think he had enough time out for his shoulder surgery, he was back in no time and he was afraid of any contact (naturally any one would be) but whats the point risking his shoulder more along with knowing he isn't going to be playing 100%?
On the good side of it hes back, hes playing the puck, scoring and shooting pucks close to if not over 100mph.
...along with not taking any crap, they were obviously trying to draw the penalty but he didn't care.

Reason: messed up the link
Dominating Florida in the second period tonight. Extra efforts, unselfish play, crisp passing, power move goals. Lucic easily outdukes Boynton. Team looks like it has taken on some of that Neely attitude.
“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
Another win last night, they sure do look much improved and Lucic does have that old time hockey attitude. I might even watch a whole game sometime, but for now I'll watch the C's
maybe soon John can change the forum description so it doesn't make fun of the hapless bruins
Harry Sinden Ruined the bRUINS all those years

Is it me or is the nhl letting the fans get what they want to see.
Seems to me the Luccic fight, the refs just let them let them go and didn't intefer with the fight?
Years past of the pussy Gretzky and Mario Lemeux era, they would have stopped that fight as soon as it started!
As for Harry, he did his job and I think he did it very well.
He was an employee of Jackobs just like the players.
Wonder what Harry could have done with an owner who wanted to spend $ on the best players available and winning was more important the his profit margin ???
I am a die hard red wings fan. HAvent seen much to like in the bruins till this year. Now its a tough call when both teams are on. Tonight its the bruins, and checking in on the wings. Will be at the game next saturday. FIrst bruins game. Cant wait. Will be wearing the wings jersey but might get a b's hat. I think the league had a little meeting with the ref's and linesmen prior to the season, fighting is way up from last year and the fans love it. The linesmen stay clear for the majority of the fights, unless its a seriously outmatched bout then they tend to step in more quickly. Now if only the league and versus would gets their lips off of crosbys ass, its embarrassing.
I hope Savard is OK...we will need his skills tonight.
Lucic did hammer that guys face but good. Watched in it super slow mode and those last two shots had to hurt...lucic was pulling his head toward himself while connecting solidly to his right eye and then his nose. He will remember that for a while.
I knew this team was coming together last season...IMO it all started with Lucic and the line was drawn in the sand when we played the Caps at home after loosing big to them away and mopped them up and this carried thru the end of the season to the playoffs.
I think with all 4 lines clicking like this and 2 hot goalies no one can beat us. Sure we can loose a game hear and there but if they can maintain this focus and attitude we will be in good shape barring any injuries. No team has a 4th line that can score like the B's and our layered defense is keeping them at bay.
The recipe to beat the Hab's is to forecheck the hell out of them and don't them them build up any speed in neutral ice. Also, it looks like Price shot is wad, we need to pound him with shots.
Also I miss Ference...I feel comfortable when he has the puck but that said, Hunwick is playing like this is the last 8 weeks of his life.
The Bruins are back! I love this game, so much more interesting and much more skill required than most other team sports, not to mention the level of fitness far exceeds any other team sport.

It's not you ronnie, I thought it was weird how the 3 refs just stood there waiting, it reminded me of wrestling. they seemed to let it drag on past where they could have stepped in, maybe the refs don't want to get hurt.
I might watch tonights game

I hate that hockey area. All that fan capacity, all those facilities, and they make the visiting team walk across the ice to get to the locker room. This is by design. I bet the locker room is painted pink for bad fung shway too. I hope the Habs don't make the playoffs. BTW his name is ROY not WAA.
PS Lucic wand Thorton will kick LaRoque's ass when they play at home...don't give the Habs the pleasure of that battle, save it for the Boston fans.
I can't wait for the next time Montreal comes to the Garden. Lucic or Thornton will mop the floor with LaRoques face. Glad we are pulling out shootout victories now too. I always get nervous, but Thomas was a wall in there last night and I think we got a little help with Wheeler's phantom deke. I was impressed by Lucic's poise and how he didn't even give the canadiens a chance to get excited, then scored a goal. A lot of young guys so lets hope they can keep it up.
I agree, Lucic showed a lot of poise. He's a young kid so it's either great coaching or a lot of self control on his part. But the team is starting to jell and people are taking notice.
And Chara is playing some of the best hockey I've seen. When the Bruins are playing the body and digging in the corners they are very tough to beat.

Well, they mopped up the islanders and the redwings this weekend...Heck if it wasn't a deflection off of Savards skate the wings would have been shut out. I have to say that was impressive, those guys have talent and size and the B's kept them down...Hosa did nothing.
Rob..that must have been difficult to watch
That was a tough one. I knew after the first that it was over. Hell of a good time at the garden though. The crowd was really into it, great atmosphere. And the fans were great even though i was wearing the winged wheel. Most of the talk was centered around the friggin lions.
then five hole!
