Hitting The Links: Road Trip Edition

by sarahconnors on Feb 17, 2012 10:22 AM EST in Hitting the Links

So the Bruins are on the road against the Winnipeg Jets tonight. As we've all learned, be prepared to hear Zdeno Chara get booed lustily for the second game in a row - at least it's not because he's been hit in the face with a puck this time.

Five days until the Bruins come to St. Louis. I can't really contain my excitement. But also I'm sort of terrified. I feel like Jessie Spano.

Links after the jump, you know the drill.

Bruins News:

A playoff series could really reignite the hate between the Bruins and Rangers. True story: it's been a while, and it'd be nice to rekindle some good old Boston-New York hate. [Seacoast Online]
Local kid Josh Hennessy is ready to play tonight yaaaay! [Herald News]
Canucks fans continue to be special, bitter snowflakes by vandalizing the church in Vancouver that Milan Lucic frequents. I hate the use of the word 'classless' or 'classy' in sports because I think it has no place, but this goes beyond that. Stay trashy, Vancouver. [Sun]
Stanley Cup odds are up on NESN. Interesting. [NESN]

NHL News:

Crazy trade season is here it's like Christmas! Grossman is off to the Flyers from the Stars, and Moore has been traded from the Lightning to the Sharks. [Puck Drunk Love]
The Blackhawks broke their losing streak against the Rangers last night. At MSG, even. Crazy. [SBN Chicago]
Yessss the NHL is making playoff speculation even more fun with these handy matchup charts. [NHL]
Surprise - the Blues won again last night, scoring five straight goals to beat the Islanders. Fact: They're unbeaten in 26 games this season when they've scored three or more goals. [STL Today]
Would the Maple Leafs really trade Mikhail Grabovski, notorious Bruins killer? Apparently so. [PHT]
After the Kings - Blue Jackets fiasco a few weeks ago, the NHL is keeping a closer eye on arena clocks. [LA Times]
Man, the Capitals are depressing. Even poster boy Brooks Laich is sad. [Post]

So with Grossman

I guess the market for replacement level defensemen on expiring contracts has been set at around a 2nd. Anyone worth having is going to be ’spensive

Best part of the Caps article:

Ovechkin and Dennis Wideman got into a practice altercation Thursday.

Talk about an awkward situation...

The Dominic Moore trade to the SJ Sharks, considering both teams played against each other. I wonder if they just told Dominic, “you stay”….so, does he cheer for the Lightning or the Sharks?

Granted, that is still not as bad as Mike Cammelleri being traded in mid-game….

…that were like “hockey fans aren’t like other fans”??

they weren’t kidding.

i’m still not quite sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one.

They will probably blame it on non-canucks fans that just happen to come to the city

like they blamed the Riots on non-Canucks fans and then blamed the NHL for not having enough security in place to prevent them. I hate the Canucks…which is a strong emotion, considering that before the SC Finals last year, I had no animosity towards them…now, they just make my blood boil and grate on my nerves….

Yeah, I really had no opinion on them prior to the Finals, but they packed a lot of douchebaggery into those two weeks.

Those people in the Canucks jerseys flipping cars and burning buildings?

Those aren’t Canucks fans – no way, Jose!

P.S. nice purse, dude.

i can only venture that the Lucic hit made him look bad. Or that he’s sick of taking the whole Campbell conspiracy flack from his predecessor. No clue
