Boston 2, Montreal 1: Lucic, Krejci Cast Off Cammalleri, Canadiens

PrintThe Boston Bruins started a new winning streak Thursday night, defeating the still-hated Montreal Canadiens by a 2-1 marker in front of 17,565 fans at TD Garden.
Milan Lucic had the game-winning goal and David Krejci extended his points streak to ten games, which is the longest such streak in the NHL this season.
But the highlight of the game (save for a questionable PK Subban hit on Krejci) was probably something that happened off the ice.
Mike Cammalleri, who on Wednesday had said that his team was playing like "losers," was removed from the game after the second period and informed that he had been traded.
Caron scored on his first NHL shift in months when the puck caromed off a stanchion behind the net and fell into his lap and, with Carey Price retreating to play the puck, Caron neatly deposited the rubber into an empty net.
Lucic gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead off a lazy feed from Nathan Horton behind the net. Krejci got the secondary assist, extending his NHL season-long point streak to 10 games, but two shifts later he got stood up by Subban as he tried to enter the attacking zone.
Subban hit Krejci high, and Andrew Ference took exception, but before he could engage Subban, the Canadiens' defenseman fell to the ice. Subban went to the box for elbowing while Ference got a double minor for roughing, and it didn't take Yannick Weber long to find the back of the net with the man advantage, cutting the Boston lead in half.
A Boston power play minutes later didn't produce much, but Montreal didn't do themselves any favors when Tomas Plekanec got whistled for holding a Bruins stick with less than two minutes to play in the game.
Tim Thomas made 29 saves to preserve the win for Boston.

Confirmed via Duthie. Please God, don’t let them get Iginla in return…

I don’t think they’d send him to another terrible team
Kick his ass, Seabass!

For sure. I can’t even imagine.
I wonder. I doubt Calgary would move Glencross or Iginla. Likely Bourque to me… I’m sure Calgary wants to get rid of Bouwmeester, but I don’t think anyone wants him.
Kick his ass, Seabass!

I can’t imagine who the Flames would send to Montreal… but I think it’s funny that they’re sending him back to where he came from.
Kick his ass, Seabass!

Hah…and I thought the game against Vancouver had a lot of drama. At least this time it wasn’t mostly from Boston.
Have to admit that the Subban hit is the perfect demonstration of what ails the NHL. A cheap hit, an epic refusal to take responsibility for it, and the offending team getting rewarded for it.
Oh well.

Yeah-Subban has a lot of talent, but doggone it he should have answered that Bell. Cheap shot and not even willing to answer for it.
Love Ference-love how he was quick to jump in there and his implications of subban playing Turtle. He kept yapping at him in the box too. Ference really is a standup kind of guy.
He’s green and fuel efficient, as well!
Kick his ass, Seabass!

I spoke too soon. He is a Franco-Albertan – apparently a rare species from Lake La Biche.

Pens fan here
Seriously, fuck PK Subban….yet another example of his coward ass taking a cheapshot and then running like a girl. Sorry, I just can’t stand the guy. He might be the most gutless, dirty player in the game

I won’t be as animated about it, but I agree. Honestly, I feel like the B’s should’ve put Krej in the quiet room for 15 after the game just to be safe. He certainly didn’t need to be having NESN’s lights shining brightly on him.

i’d like to see a shannahammer, but hope the Bruins don’t go crying concussion – even if there is one, don’t use it for politics
I’m not going to go off on this point really because I’m not a fan of the idea too much honestly and I don’t want to keep on with the Marchand suspension but….
I was watching PK closely through the mid portion of the game. He got roughed up a few times, especially by Lucic who put him on the ice and then disengaged with the ref standing right over them calling nothing (was great really). After that, PK took one run at Krejci and then took another which resulted in the elbow.
If we’re going to start putting the thoughts of players into the equation for suspensions then here’s a good case for it. You have a guy razzled but afraid to go after the big boy he has an issue with. Instead he goes high on the center on the line twice, trying to do some damage. That sounds rather predatory to me.
Not saying they should look into this or that it should be a major part of the criteria, but if we’re looking for a predatory hit, this one likely falls into the category.
any one else find this funny comming from a Pens fan? lol cooke

I’m just tired of it. The guy has a well-documented track record of simply not respecting other players and repeatedly putting them in harm’s way, yet always seems to stop just short of being disciplined. I fondly remember when he stomped on Jordan Staal’s ankle and knocked him out for months…it’s only a matter of time before a similar situation happens again. Gutless
I hope Krejci is ok

He was just protecting himself..... I am sure Jullian and then general manager would agree.

Its ok Puck
Someday you may get the NHL to put a team in Seattle and then you wont have to continue to be subject to the “woe is me” mindset that the Canucks have clearly instilled in you. Until then Ill pray for your soul. assuming Tebowing position
Lord and ruler of all things Bruins.... at least in my own house.

He was very obviously making fun of Marchand’s defense of the lowbridge.

I’m sure Burows was protecting himself when he speared Thorty in the throat, too.

Great I actually like Rene Bourque…now i’m going to have to start hating him now…son of a bitch…hopefully he does something stupid in February to speed the hate process along.

Wasn’t that his second headshot this year (got off on the first)

Remember when everyone wanted to trade Krejci for Bobby Ryan?
Krejci: 10 G, 22 A for 32 pts in 37 games this season
Ryan: 15 G, 10 A for 25 pts in 41 games this season
And Krejci doesn’t have the benefit of being linemates with the reigning league MVP…
For the record,
I was never in that camp.
Most of us thought the rumor was funny.
You know, DavidKrejciKillahTheMatrix for Bobby Ryan, Ryan and Rask for Nash. HFBoards perfection, haha
Kick his ass, Seabass!

Still rollin
First game I have really been able to watch since Christmas and thank god it was a win against the hated habs! WTF is going on in Montreal? Not that I am upset with the trade because I am happy to not have to play against Cammalleri more than once a year.
They did it for Savy, they did it for Horton, they did it for each other, they did it for us. I give you the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions....The Boston Bruins!!
My Lions lost to the Saints who are clearly the better team. (This is what happens when you back your team and they lose),
In London for the semester, so didn’t get to see the game, but I’d just like to add to the consensus that P.K. Subban sucks. A lot.
For Horton!
Not in a talent way tho, just in how he plays the game
For Horton!
