7th Player Award

The Bruins will announce the winner of this year’s 7th Player Award in a ceremony before tonight’s game.

My money is on either Blake Wheeler or David Krejci. Both guys exceeded expectations this year.

2009 7th PLAYER AWARD WINNER: DAVID KREJCI

Thomas vs. Auld between the pipes

according to Boston.com Bruins Blog

Scratch Montador

Hnidy in lineup.

I’m guessing this means Hunwick skating as a forward.

Enough with these “classically trained” singers. Give me more Rancourt. Nobody belts out “Oh, Canada” like the man with the golden pipes and the tuxedo.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:11 PM EDT reply actions

you know, i’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with him, and that’s why he’s singing so infrequently

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions

Or they are slowly forcing the old man out.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions

i doubt that – he is way too much of a favorite. i was there for one of this games this season and the crowd freaking exploded when he walked out on the ice. they clap nicely for the conservatory girl. its pretty obvious.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions

that was the lamest 7th player award presentation i’ve ever seen. no thank you speech from krecji, no video…..

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:11 PM EDT reply actions

*krejci

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Have you heard him talk? They did the poor kid a favor there.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions

oh i know his english isn’t great, but he still could have said thank you or done a little lap or something

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:20 PM EDT up reply actions

he is my favorite broken English interview since Bergeron’s rookie season

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions

That is a nice shiner that Ruutu is rocking

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:16 PM EDT reply actions

It looks like they forgot to freeze the pucks tonight

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:17 PM EDT reply actions

It looks like that Hnidy/Stuart D-pair that I hate is back. Stuart needs to be paired with a guy that can move the puck.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:19 PM EDT reply actions

too easy there

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:20 PM EDT reply actions

no hook there on wideman???

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:22 PM EDT reply actions

B’s need to shutdown the Sens top line because let’s be honest that’s all they got.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions

just once, i want to see a wideman shot strike the goalie straight in the chest protector

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:29 PM EDT reply actions

That usually isn’t where you want it, but I get what you are saying with WIDEman

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions

That dude definite got community service for a DUI

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:33 PM EDT reply actions

the “best seats in the house” guy

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions

oh yeah

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions

I thought they had one there

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions

were the fans booing there because they didn’t understand the hand pass rule?

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 7:39 PM EDT reply actions

ugh.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions

….but the Sens have the best win pct. when leading after one.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions

….

what the hell was that?

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:04 PM EDT reply actions

What a blast from Lucic!!!

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:05 PM EDT reply actions

atta boy looch! i loveit when his physical contact results in a good play like that

i love

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:06 PM EDT reply actions

wow, the english portion of my brain is definitely turned off tonight

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions

good, just shut that line down

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:08 PM EDT reply actions

bad turnover there. glad nothing came of it.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:09 PM EDT reply actions

getting rid of the 2-line pass was a great rule change.

example A: Chara’s homerun pass

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:11 PM EDT reply actions

that, and getting rid of the foot in the crease = automatic no goal are the 2 best changes in the last 10 years

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions

nice try by hunwick – but whoa was that a bad decision

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:12 PM EDT reply actions

kind of a bad break. Wideman needs to realize that he is trying to keep the puck in there and drop back too.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions

is it me or has there been some funny hops tonight?

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:14 PM EDT reply actions

we were just saying that after the stuart deflection off the boards (that hnidy basically dug out of the goal)

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions

especially off the endboards behind Thomas.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions

p.j.’s belly-flop fight was the best i have ever seen.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:32 PM EDT reply actions

I like how it was PJ to respond first.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions

i love that little sweede.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions

Hnidy better be watching the playoffs from the 9th floor

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:33 PM EDT reply actions

I like that the B’s are finally out-shooting their opponents again.
27-18 tonight through 2

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 8:43 PM EDT reply actions

nice play by Axelsson.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions

savvy was just channeling ovie right there. i like it.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions

That might be the first time anyone has ever compared those 2 players.

by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Apr 2, 2009 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions

beautiful shot followed up by a big celebration. textbook ovechkin.

by andie on Apr 2, 2009 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions

OK, I give that but their games are completely different is what I was getting at. One is a physical forward w/ finesse who loves to shoot the puck and the other is a pass-first playmaker.
