Oh yea, and bye bye Bylsma. Who was it that thought it would be a good idea for him to coach Team USA? Too lazy to quote me calling Bylsma out before for his incompetency...Can't even win against a rag-tag outfit of NY Rangers with a stacked Penguins team...well, minus the goalie, I guess.

That whole 7 months?

Marc, think you're too hard on St. Louis....he's not Forsberg or Gretzky, but he is certainly no bust.

icehog3 · 05-14-2014, 12:09 AM

Oh, yeah. Patrick Kane.

Crawford wasn't too shabby either.

Congrats to the Wild and their fans, they gave Chicago all they could handle, and will be right back in the mix next October.

I still like MSL - I thought he and Stamkos were synergisic - they sure as heck scored a lot of goals together.

Be that as it may (in one's best John Cleese voice).... we get to watch him through the conference finals, and the Tampa boys were swept in round one. (Just saying).

I do concede that King Hendrik is likely the source of most of the Rangers success.

Tonight we shall see if the goalies make the difference again. This time Price vs Rask. I think the outcome depends which Rask shows up....

Hello, just to reiterate, I'm not sure if you got the entire post above. Tampa has been rebuilding their roster. Martin is just not a top-level player as people or the press perpetrate him to be. That is the point. No more, no less.

As for franchises, you should read up on the late Bill Davidson and his work with the Pistons and Lightning (very interesting). The present owner is Vinik from Fidelity fame (or infamy), and Red Sox ownership. He brought in Yzerman to rebuild the franchise, which tells me that he isn't an idiot. I guarantee you, they will be a contender by 2016. Just sucks that Lecavalier and Stamkos kept getting hurt and were not able to make it happen several years ago past the Bruins (the year where Roloson took Superman pills lol).

We can debate long-term talent and roster management along with cap implications and trade chips if you'd like, as that is what I like to talk about regarding sports.

Habs start quick...

AdamJoshua · 05-14-2014, 05:24 PM

Maybe it's me, ok the D screwed up and didn't clear or stay with his man, but that pass was right through the crease, Rask was facing it directly on but he never moved, he didn't try to kick it away, hit it with this stick, grab it and cover it up, it went 30' straight and straight through the crease and he didn't even blink while it went past him then in a shot into the net. So it seems that's shitty.

Wow and the Bruins just got screwed on that call... Brad M. takes a stick to the neck and falls into the goalie and they call HIM for a penalty. typical. Wow bruin taken right down and no call again. Well I'm done

LOL

Yeah...you expect that when the Habs are at home, but not on the road.

On a separate note, the book on Carey Price is shoot high. I think that all series long the B's have taken that too literally and shot like two or three feet over the net...when they're not aiming for the crossbar, that is. Hey guys, "high" means "just above his shoulders!"

AdamJoshua · 05-14-2014, 06:36 PM

I don't think I've seen the Bs look this bad in years, soft passes in skates, failing to clear over and over, losing pucks on their sticks, losing pucks in their skates, they are all over the place. Really disappointed in the team, sad response to a game 7 and a lot of that is with no one even around them, let alone when they are getting hit. On top of that Price is really on his game, he's focused on everything, not giving up 2nd chances, sliding the crease with ease and getting to everything.

Yeah, they've just been plain sloppy. They look like they just came out of training camp, not off of a President's Cup winning season.

They have to win this game, otherwise they're putting me in a position where I have to root for the Rangers. No one wants that!

Bruins Fan · 05-14-2014, 07:50 PM

It was a fun season..I don't understand what happened,looks like this team got old all of a sudden.

A lot of guys did not step up the KIL line,Marchand has to go Bartkowski to.

Management has some work to do.

AdamJoshua · 05-14-2014, 07:48 PM

Even the last goal was half-ass by my favorite person, I'm relieved that Milbury and the crew agreed with me that that first goal was Rask half-assing the puck into the corner AWAY from his defense basically putting it only where a frog could get it. I think only 5 or 6 more years of Rask left on his contract

Let's see football soon, the Red Sox are playing, not well but they are playing

Porch Dweller · 05-14-2014, 07:53 PM

Great, now I have to root for the Rangers. I need a shower...with a Brillo pad.

CdnStogie · 05-14-2014, 08:36 PM

Oleeee ole ole oleeee

Great series bring on the rangers

Lucic a DB during the handshake. What a way to ruin a tradition.

AdamJoshua · 05-14-2014, 10:22 PM

Funny but yah he should have said it before the handshake or after or something lol sorry still laughing, maybe looch should have scored a goal or two and he wouldn't have had to worry about "****ing killing him next year".

icehog3 · 05-15-2014, 12:50 AM

Lost a lot of respect for Lucic tonight. Handshakes is not the place for tough talk.

At the very least he could have taken a page out of Dino Ciccarelli's book:
