This was BY FAR, the best all-star game in a long time. I think the NHL got pretty lucky with the whole Scott thing, but I loved how it turned out. I am really glad he refused to back down and ended up going. If what he says was really said to him by NHL higher-ups, then they should be ashamed of their selves. I was obviously rooting for the Atlantic, but it was super hard to not root for Scott. The players really seemed to love him there as well. I heard a story from a spectator about Scott that never made it to the press. While Burns and Pavelski were doing some duties during skills competition, Scott was down on a knee, playing with their sons who were on the ice. I think he is a truly nice guy who fell into a great deal in this game.
Agreed, I never thought I'd think that considering how poorly we've actually been at home this year, but dang that was an ugly road trip. Thought the stretch run tanking from last year would still be fresh in our minds. Didn't play half bad, but like NY22's Isles, can't find the net to save our lives, still lame on the power play and couldn't get a call to save our lives. Got to stop the bleeding now!
That's a bid ass cuss word, lol. Big loss, especially with Halak banged up. Sometimes adversity like this an be overcome with a team bunker mentality. I read where he was wanting to be traded, so this will lessen his value. Love me some Jack Capuano, former asst with the Tallahassee Tiger Sharks!
Hamonic asked to be traded - wants to be with family in Winnipeg - not sure exactly why, but I love everything about him.
Sorry, late on this, been tending to a sick dad in law
I was one of few that thought he would survive Chiarelli's firing, but this comes as a surprise to me. Sweeney and Jacobs must really love him for him to survive two late season tankings, resulting in no playoffs. I think the fan base is really restless, will it affect attendance next year or will they continue to sellout?
I am proudly old school, and cannot stand watching the amount of sticks breaking in games.....some only from a simple pass.
They are awesome to use I have 4 or 5 of them. But they just shatter when they break and I don't like that it's a penalty now if you hit the stick. That was fair game when I was younger. It's one of those penalty's they developed to increase scoring but it effects the game negatively during crucial games.
Unfortunately Bruins fans are the most loyal fans in Boston. They didn't stop going until the Jacobs clearly didn't put a winner on the ice and the lock out. At the end of the day Claude is a top coach. So who do you replace him with? I think Sweeny didn't have a answer plus you know Montreal would love to scoop him up and they have a more talented than the Bruins right now. Right now they need to address the defense. Chara is old and slow, Soderberg isn't the same after his injury. I wish we had Johnny Boychuk.
The overturned goal on offsides was key.
