I love the fact that the Habs leading scorer can't get recognized by their #1 rival's fan base. They probably thought he was some toolbox frat boy making some extra buck shilling burgers. Should have used PK or Price, but then again, that wouldn't have gotten the same reaction.

I hear the police cars are still burning on the Rue St . Catherine!

Scott, David Pastrnak is from the Czech Republic, he just plays in Sweden. He's been described as a puck control monster (a "smaller version of Jagr") with a good two way game. He also looks to be a monster on the big stage, often doubling his regular season PPG average in tournament play...

That is absurd, unless you are discussing his role in the community. Shawn is the unofficial Mayor of Charlestown, he's woven himself into the community and he now calls Boston home. His charitable efforts are unmatched, his foundation is one of the most popular in town, and he is beloved by...

5 remotes.

The fact that your very first post in this thread is to bust my chops about one of my last posts in this thread says more about you than me, phil*, as does your near pathological obsession with being schooled by me in the JFK thread years ago. Get over it. :rolleyes: Congrats to Scott M. and...

He was so excited, he was shaking in the Bucyk jacket.

My favorite point in the series, and the most telling, was from after the very first shift in game 1. To begin with, Claude sent out the Krejci, Lucic, Iginla line with Bartkowski/Boychuck. He starts the Bergeron line with Chara's D 95% of the time. 10 seconds later, I figured out why he did...

Not so sure the Habs sat back just because of the lead. Their entire gameplan is based on sitting back, they are not a grind em out, relentless forecheck and cycle team. That is the Bruins. The Habs are a rope-a-dope team. They sit back and take the other team's best, relying on goalftending...

I've seen interviews with both. Off-ice PK is well-spoken, professional, and extremely personable. A real classy guy and the atithesis of his on-ice persona.

Well that would be a serious conundrum for Habs fans. They would lose the race card when people complain about PK being a jackwagon, because Simmonds is as standup a guy there is. I'm getting pretty sick of the automatic accusations of racism when people complain about PK's antics, or Evander...

Serious Wayne Simmonds envy right now. Boy he'd look good in a spoked B.

I think this team is better too, and the reason is just what you state: Krug and Hamilton. Krug is OK in his own end for a real little guy (him and Marchand have a running gag on who is taller) but we haven't see PP performance like his since a guy named Bourque roamed the blue line. He also...

This is going to be one for the ages.

The Wings are just too young and too unexperienced. Bad lapses by Babcock last night, but the Bruins would have broken through anyway, and the Wings offense was impotent against the stifling Bruins D. I don't think I saw more than one or two times where the Bruins were even close to trouble...
