Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Now this was a hockey game, in the dying moments just Bruins players feeding Habs players there lunches. Thing of beauty, not much goaltending, but f*** it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Geez, what team does Montreal remind me of? And I'm tired of the Bruins spotpicking. I'd love to see some enforcer just grab the hunchback and the giraffe and start pounding away at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elriqo28 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I wish the wings would show some balls like that. And what about the crowd? It was nice to see a hockey game where the fans were just as into it as the players fighting. It was just so intense. Wing's fans are so spoiled of winning they just don't cheer til playoffs. Sad. 1 Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Where the hell did that Carey Price/Tim Thomas "fight" come from? Seemed like they just wanted to entertain the crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 One hell of a game. The Price/Thomas confrontation was nothing. Montreal bit off more than they could chew physically. At the end of the game, it was Tom Pyatt who threw the first shot at Gregory Campbell, and Campbell proceeded to pound him to a pulp. Subban did some running around. Lucic and Horton both had good games on the score sheet and in the physical department. Boston leads the league in fighting majors. They can mix it up with just about anyone. Montreal isn't a real test, as far as physicality, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Man, that was great! I just happened to record it on a whim, and what a show! 6 players crammed into the boxes, the refs trying to make a list of who all was involved, Thomas and Price having a good ol' time tearing up each other's sweaters and chuckling about it afterwards...pure entertainment. The crowd reaction was great, too, though if you don't get excited about a game like that, I don't know what you're waiting for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Boston reminds me of a certain team from '97 that could beat you on the score sheet and in the physicality department. That makes for a damn tough team to play against. As Mickey would say "The fans don't like it at all!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I'm certain if games like this were broadcast on NBC on a Saturday night - ratings would go thru the roof. Agreed, if only as an experiment. The current Saturday night NBC schedule is: 8:00 PM Harry's Law 9:00 PM Law & Order: Los Angeles 10:00 PM Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Is "Hockey Day in America" going to carry into the evening? Nevermind, I just checked and the answer is "no". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrik40 76 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Kinda mad I missed it. My only complaint was Marchand's very late hit after the whistle (on an icing call), which is what started the first line brawl. I didn't like that at all. One of those plays where the Habs player was lucky Marchand essentially missed him, because he would have been hurt if Marchand had made solid contact.

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Oh boy!!! We get home and home against this team. The way we are playing I could see 8 from Boston but maybe a few less from us.... I really hope my pessimistic ass is wrong on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Yup - it's games like this that remind me when we used to have that wonderful combo of skill mixed with toughness...Ah - the memories. EDIT - if the Red Wings were transformed overnight into a team built along the lines of the Bruins, or Flyers - poor Mickey would have a heart attack from the excitement. Games of this nature is what got me into hockey many years ago. Agreed on all counts. I understand that people here love the Wings, and the team for the last several years has mostly lacked the fighting element, so they may be inclined to say "who needs it" or "we don't want it." But if this team was winning and could beat the snot out of people, I doubt many here would be complaining either. It'd be an awesome thing to watch the Wings win and intimidate teams physically.

Original_6 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Wow, what a game. That might be game of the year.. Plain and simple Old Time Hockey. I miss those days, it would be nice to see that a bit more Last night game reminded me of the Bruins of the 70's & 80's. The Bruins were physical last night against a faster Canadians team and it paid off. Nothing like a Good ole Boston Bruins Tea Party against the Canadians in the town they call "the hub of hockey".

It seems lilke every arena in the league generates more noise than ours does, the fans go wild over everything, and seem genuinely passionate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fans seemed bored with this team at the Joe. In fact, I think Bill McCreary was bored too as he called the penalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems lilke every arena in the league generates more noise than ours does, the fans go wild over everything, and seem genuinely passionate. It's called being spoiled. For the bulk of the crowd they have seen just consistent winning hockey and haven't had to sit there and be overly loud. After the streak was broken back in '97 and the passionate "Win it for Vladdy" moment of '98, the crowds of the Joe have been tamed. Just watch game tape of any of the games in those seasons, though. Just unreal how loud the Joe used to get back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
