Crazy Final Minutes In Boston

[sergei_is_still_a_wing 1]

With 6:41 remaining and the Caps up 1-0 In Boston, Donald Brashear takes a Triple minor (4 minutes for high sticking Krecji and a Roughing minor for decking Hnidy as he comes in to tell Brashear he's an ASS). As boston looks aenemic on the powerplay, another Cap takes a 2 min hooking penalty. Chara bombs a one timer in from the point to make it 1-1. Just enough time had passed on Brashears first minor that his original penalty expired and the Bruins Stayed on the 5 on 3. As one caps penalty Expires Poti slashes Murray's stick in 2 and boston scores on the ensuing 5 on 3. Bruins win 2-1.

Terrible lack of discipline by Washington. Good to see a team make the most of opportunities given to them by stupid penalties.

Craziest end to a game i've seen in a while. and the first time i've ever seen a triple minor.

Boston needed this as they have looked wretched as of late.

Good. Bruins need to start winning again, as I hope they make the playoffs.

[cirov19 1]

Good. I chose Boston for my weekend picks and I want Toronto to make the playoffs.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Looks good on Brashear because he's a f*cking moron. With your team up by 1 with about 6 minutes left you sucker Hnidy in the face after you've already taken a penalty, my god.

I'm really happy for the Bruins, 79 points now.

[Never_Retire_Steve 35]

That's just horrible

[Nero 20]

Was hoping Washington would win after the crap that Chara pulled in the first (flung Ovechkins stick into the stands).

[WhiteLightning91 105]

I really wanna see Washington in the playoffs this year but it would probably be better for them to get the higher draft pick and miss them this year...

I agree.... well until brashear went all butthead.... and then Poti took one errr TWO 2 handed slashes on murrays twig. that kinda evened up the idiotic moves in this tilt.

i do feel for ovi and huet thought. ovi wasn't on the ice for the last 7 minutes due to the endless train of caps to the box and huet didn't really stand a chance with over 4 minutes of 5 on 3.

[FunkedUp 29]

yeah i suppose it slightly makes up for their devastating losses in this past week. 10-2, 8-2...damn

Me too. I would love to see the Caps, primarily because of AO in the playoffs.l It is a shame if they cant get there. I also think, regardless of his points total, it has to hurt his shot at MVP if they dont get in.

I only saw a very quick replay of the Brashear thing since I didn't get home in time to catch the game, but from the 2 seconds of it I saw, I thought Hnidy pushed Brashear first then crumpled like a ***** when he got hit.

Like I said though, I didn't get a clear look at and could well be wrong, and I just want the Caps to make the playoffs.

[wingslogo19 281]

Didn't see the game.. Anyone have video of the game? .. Good to see the Bruins back on track that's forsure

[SweWings 45]

Ah too bad. The Caps need every win right now. And the Bruins are one of the teams in the way... Damn...

[Never_Retire_Steve 35]

Just finished watching Coaches Corner where they showed some highlights of the game. Interesting karma for the 10-2 loss earlier in the week. Also, they showed AO getting creamed early in the game and showed him getting a pass later in the game where he took a look and totally missed the pass because he was scared of what might be coming in the black in yellow.

I don't remember the year but when Paul Coffey played for the Wings he had a triple minor. Don't remember the calls though.

[RainingBlood 8]

wow why would anyone offer him a contract, he brings nothing to the table

[Heaton 1]

Brashear is a moron, he may have costed his team the playoffs.

[Doggy 130]

I'm glad this happened after they shamelessly ran up the score in the 10-2 game. Why try to humiliate a team?

Pleeeeeease tell me you're being sarcastic. Hey, let's not keep score at all since we might hurt the fragile hockey players' feelings.

Uhh Cheli got one like 2 years ago. 5 cross-checks to a guy and got called for the last three. It was hilarious.

[Kira 451]

You thought the end of the game was weird, you should have seen the beginning...two fights in the first 15 seconds. Milan Lucic got into it with a Cap five seconds into it. I like this kid Lucic...too bad we can't wrest him away from Boston.

When you're up by 6 goals, you rest your top line and play your 3rd and 4th liners more.

[seeinred 1,488]

Sure, when you're up by 6 goals in the 3rd. When you get up by 6 in the 1st, it's a different story. Plus, there's no reason you need to rest your players. If AO wants to pad his stats and risk injury, then let him.

I don't remember that one, i was a tad young, but a few years back, when bertuzzi was with the canucks he got a triple minor for 3 slashes.

Well, there is plenty of reason to rest your players. As you said, AO was risking injury. If he gets injured they're non-existent. What's the difference between winning by 2 goals or 8? a win is a win. You have every reason to rest your stars.
