Awesome win..rask is on fire

Officiating still terrible, but it is what it is

At least they've been evenly terrible. The phantom calls early got make-ups later...

Cheers!

I'm up in Maine this week, but I was able to catch the game. Man, the Bruins looked good tonight.

 

[Bulls Beers]

The refs were bad on both sides tonight.

Officiating has been bad the whole series, but agreed, at least its been bad going both ways. Its just frustrating when some huge calls are blown and some fairy bs scraps or the like get called

There was a Bruins near break-away in the second game where the lone 'Hawks defender laid a two-handed slash on the B's player - right there in the wide open space in the slot - and no call. Otoh, that call on Thornton merely reaching into the scrum in the first period tonight was about as weak as it gets. This is pro hockey, not tea and crumpets, fer chrissakes.


On a different note, apparently the Windy City has no shortage of conspiracy theorists, who are now postulating on the NHL.com boards that the NHL wanted the Bruins to win the Cup all along this year because it would be a "nice story" wrt you-know-what-happened-this-April.

Which is totally ridiculous, because everyone knows that the league actually wanted the Penguins to win the Cup this year...

Cheers!

All the idiots have to do is watch their games and realize how many goals and saves were freaks...

Haha lucky you. We don't consider Portland to be part of Maine though.

 

[HawksBrewer]

Bruins made the Hawks look like the Rockford Ice Hogs last night. Couldn't complete a pass, get in the zone or put the puck on the net to save our lives. Hopefully we can steal one tomorrow night to take back home ice, but damn, well played by the Bs.

They will have to steal game 4 from Rask. He is locked in right now. Seems to me that Chicago is getting a little frustrated. Just like Pittsburgh was. Not a good sign if you were a hawks fan...

I know. To go after a nice guy like Marchand near the end of the game? Someone must have instigated him and mistakenly taken it out on Marchand. He never gets under anyone's skin. I hope he apologized to him on the way to the lockerroom.

That's crap, the Hawks played like sh¡t, the coaching/roster and line moves have been very questionable on their part (not just last night) and the B's just flat out were the better team last night. Also, it'd be nice if Toews showed up for a game or two and if Hoss isn't out too long. I'm still saying Hawks in 6 or 7, but if we lose Wed, it's likely over. Ya only get one miracle comeback a year.

I dunno about the POW Conf. this postseason, but the officiating has been pretty crappy in the POs. Lots of phantom calls, lots of ticky tack penalties in crucial moments, probably evens out in the end but the officials are acting like MLB umps.

 

[Channel66]

Yup, northern mass . Nice spot though.

Psyched for game 4, they are playing great right now, stuffing the zones, beating them on the boards. And tuuuukkka got his game 1 jitters out of the way to resume godlike status.

WHen it comes to Western Conf. vs Eastern Conf., the "silly side" of the League doesn't stand a chance. I just hope Chicago can get something done to make this look like anything but a cakewalk for Boston. More HRR for Mr. Bettman.

The "silly side"? You mean like Canada? Oh, wait..... Canadians don't play hockey in June.

Seriously though, I agree, Chicago's gotta do something. They can't play like they did last night. Players gotta start playing and the coach needs to stop playing (with lineups). Stick with what gotcha there, Chicago's as good overall as Boston, more skilled, and capable of at least giving themselves a chance at the Cup. Last night was nauseating to watch, the only player living up to his potential was (again) Sharpie.

Ha! And yup, my boy Sharpie is always determined and the puck always seems to find him. Hopefully Big Hoss is back so they can stick w/ Toews, Hossa and Saad on the first line and Handzus, Kane and Sharp on the second line.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Agreed, though I'd like to see Saad stop white knuckling out there. It seems every time the puck finds him, he whiffs on a shot or coughs it up. If Hoss' injury was just for last night's game, it'll be a series. Let's hope.

Game 5 vs NYR, 3-1 win: Tuukka Rask receives Ranger jacket.

No rule against the goalie getting it..

It was a lot sillier from 1992-1998. Kicking the Leafs out made everyone take Western Conference little more seriously. At least on the ice.

Ok. Don't know how I missed that but I did.

Thanks!

Pittsburgh got swept because they fundamentally didn't know how to play modern hockey.

 

[ArcticBear]

bruins won last night, play again tomorrow, and tonight i am signing an accepted offer letter for my first home...

what a week

Is this it?

would totally do that...

Is that why they won so many games this season? Playing "old" hockey?

Weeeiiiird.... I really have no clue. Probably operator error, but the same thing happened a few weeks ago in another thread when I quoted someone.... so yeah, operator error. Fixed it for ya.
