Let me tell you, it is not easy being at another NHL game knowing your team is stomping on another team's hopes and dreams back home. With that 9-0 win, the Bruins currently sit atop the league with a goal differential of +69. Hee hee hee.
Possibly the most hilarious part about last night was that the out-of-town scoreboard at the Scottrade Center couldn't keep up with the Bruins' frenetic scoring pace. While Twitter was blowing up with news of goals six and seven, the board still read 3-0. My seatmate's shock a few minutes later when it jumped to 7-0 was totally worth the price of admission.
And wasn't that Lucic goal off Jokinen ridiculous?
Anyways, after the jump, we've got presidential hockey fans, a whiny Joel Quenneville, and Vancouver overhyping tomorrow's game. Have at thee.
Bruins News:
- From a Vancouver paper: "Bruins' skill guys still romp with impunity." Aka, they still don't like how the Bruins play the game. Get over it. [Province]
- The Bruins score. A lot. And Cam Neely likes it. [ESPN]
- Tim Thomas is excited to be an All-Star starter. [Globe]
- Shawn Thornton chimes in on whether fighting in hockey works as momentum to get a team to win. [Globe]
- Andrew Ference wants Jarome Iginla to get goal #500. They are buddies, after all. [Calgary Herald]

That Idiot Radio host in NH from the Morning Buzz said he hates the Bruins Running up the score comparing them to the 07 pats.

Oh, bah. If they had sat around, and let one in, people would be complaining about how they let Tuukka down. The game got painful after awhile and I hoped the bleeding would eventually stop, but I think it’s good they played a full 60 minutes of hockey — it’d look to patronizing to do otherwise.

This.
Never understood the complaints that come with “running up the score” in relation to professional sports. If I was a player or a coach on the opposing team, I’d almost take it as more of a disrespect to take your foot of the gas out of sheer mercy, like you said.
Can I Scream?
Agreed.
Collegiate and HS is another matter since sportsmanship is supposed to be a major aspect of their games. After all, they are still education institutes (even though some seem to forget that).
Pros? You are paid to play. It is literally your job to score and prevent the other team from doing so.

And, what a terrible coaching strategy that would be, “OK boys we only need to play 30 minutes.” Didn’t we see enough of that early last year. Not to mention all those years where we weren’t successful. You don’t quit a 60+ strategy, ever.
amazing
the run the B’s are having is incredible. 9 goals is humongous big lol. As a Rangers fan, i cannot wait unitl the 21. it could be the game of the year at that point in the season, pitting the top 2 teams in the NHL against each other!
I piss excellence
come on it’s rangers and bruins game will end up 1-0 after a shoot out you know it haha

hopefully it will change again when PHX moves and 2 more teams fold…
I piss excellence
i dont know why
my comments keep double posting.. that wasnt me trying to be a dick lol. i guess on the bright side, as ed said, there is the possibility of BOS NYR SCF. im not that old, but apparently there rivalry was pretty nasty in the 70s. any old timers here remember the fight in the stands? i only read about it/saw youtube vids. was tehre ever a bitter rivalry between the 2?
I piss excellence
yup. As a true hockey fan it will always be a blight on my memory. Those old time Ranger fans really hated the Bs. They just couldn’t get past us. Altho I have a soft spot for them. In the old days the Providence Reds were the Rangers AHL affiliate back when they had fencing instead of glass. Major shock when we traded Espo for Joe Zanussi.
I approve of this.

D. Sedin
doesn’t seem to have picked up any lessons from the cup final. Still monomaniacally focused on drawing penalties and winning based on man advantage it seems.
If they would just play with some heart and a little more grit they could win without all the BS antics, they have the talent to do it even strength, they just…. don’t.

Yeah cause a scoring title means you have no heart.
Come on Phoney. Are you bipolar. Sometimes you hit it on the head. Sometimes you are so off base. Maybe if you used Burrows or LaPierre but the Sedins are not in this category.
How does getting a scoring title equate to having heart? Just means you have talent and and good teammates. The two are not mutually inclusive.
by BobbyOrrsBastard on Jan 6, 2012 6:30 PM EST up reply actions
Hahaha… Well, the lack of leadership the Sedins provided showed that they lack heart (maybe they have some, but not enough IMO),and/or intestinal fortitude. Standing there and taking Marchand’s speedbag routine instead of doing something about it? Allowing that Burrows biting BS to happen, and then all the horsehit mocking that followed (from both sides)? Daniel guaranteeing a win, and then taking back his guarantee?
Yeeeeah, they play with a ton of heart, those Sedins.
Kick his ass, Seabass!

most people who win a scoring title do so by getting a lot of points on the power play
18 of Sedin’s 41 goals and 24 of his 63 assists came on the power play last year (42 of 104 points). He scores a larger percentage of his goals than other Ross contenders (like Stamkos and Perry last year). Don’t think he and his team don’t know this.
to be fair it did get them 1 game away from the cup

the Bruins currently sit atop the league with a goal differential of +69
Sadly, it is actually +67… the 69 figure includes 3 goals awarded for SO wins and 1 goal against for a SO loss.

Just looked real quick on wiki… Best Bruins team appears to be the ’70-71 squad that was +192 (399 – 207)
Best Montreal squad is the ’76-77 squad that was +216 (387 – 171)

"Aka, they still don't like how the Bruins play the game. Get over it"
Did you read the article? After I read it, it sounded complimentary to the Bruins and bemoaning the fact that the Canucks aren’t more physical.
The editor’s choice of title is poor.
It’s hard to tell the tone of it, IMO, since Gallagher wrote a LOT of idiotic things during the Finals.

I read it
It sounded honestly like a middle schooler scrapped it together trying to dramatize a trip to the dentist. The word change comes up over and over again until I was rolling my eyes and wondering if he owned a thesaurus.
And the argument is partially flawed. See he seems to think that the reason that the Bruins forwards aren’t scared is because they know Big Z and all the other gritty Bruins defensemen will protect them. If the Vancouver series taught us anything is that guys like Marsh and Looch don’t have issues standing up for themselves.
Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.
Thanks for joining!
