Hitting The Links: The Conspiracy Lives Edition

by sarahconnors on Feb 2, 2012 10:12 AM EST in Hitting the Links

The Bruins take on the pesky Hurricanes tonight, who have taken all three games in the series this year so far. Annoying. Don't the Bruins usually roll the 'Canes? (answer: yes. Let's not think about 2009 playoffs). Meanwhile in Ottawa, people are complaining about refereeing against the Bruins. Poor Kerry Fraser, having to deal with all that whining. Clearly the answer is just that there is a conspiracy to allow the Bruins to win, always; I don't know why people keep disputing this. /sarcasm

After the jump, Fraser's take on the "non-call" conspiracy, a video that will make you cry, and Mark Recchi COACHING!

Radulov actually hit the goalie coach, fwiw. Guess the goaltenders haven’t been faring well lately

Goalie coach doesn’t seem to mind much. Must be so engaged in his notes that he thought Radulov just did it by accident?

He knows if he says anything that Radulov is rich enough to kill him and get away with it.

I can’t tell what’s going on there. I would have thought he was just trying to smack his stick against the glass in frustration, but he looked over his shoulder before he did it. Did he not see the coach there?

Unrelatedly to anything, i really like the Bruins’ tradition of letting players lead morning-skate stretches before games against their former teams. :D

Kelly: back to Ottawa after this year, or taking a discount to stay with a contender, or neither?

Kick his ass, Seabass!

Some team that needs a glue guy will probably overpay him.

That Fraser article

was gorgeous. He completely destroyed all the whinging and complaining coming from Ottawa fans. If his objectivity is to be believed (and why wouldn’t it?) then the PPs should have been closer to 9-1 rather than the 4-0 that it was.

Also liked that he pointed out the stupidity of ‘balancing the PIMs’. I admit I get annoyed when there is a serious imbalance but that is mainly reserved for testy games where both teams are being aggressive.

Our intention isn't to discuss this... it's to see if you can bleed.
