Hockey 2010-2011

Its time we got somebody who would make the Bruins and Flyers think twice about starting shit on the ice with the Habs. We got absolutely embarrassed last night on national TV, on both freaking sides of the border, and I hope this pushes Gauthier to make some moves. I was pretty pissed off with losing the game, but watching us get beatdown only made the loss worse.

Your first sentence is unclear. Are you suggesting that the Bruins are bullying? It seems to me that the Habs players are very happy to start fights, but not so keen on seeing them through by taking off their gloves.

Of course the Flyers and Bruins have been giving us a physical game this year. I'm not whining about that, what I'm more concerned about is that we really don't have an enforcer yo do anything about it.

Kovalchuk, 1 goal, 1 assist.

...only 12pts behind 8th in the East.

Red Wings 6 - Bruins 1. My god, Detroit can skate! And talk about playing a possession game: it was like an instructional video for that style of hockey.

Of course, one must wonder how successful Detroit would have been had the Bruins had Tim Thomas in goal from the beginning, instead of only in the 3rd period.

Why? Was only one period of hockey not enough time for Thomas to start a fight with the Detroit goalie?

As my post above says:

"However, going forward, the NHL's top goalie didn't sound like he would make pugilism a habit."

If you'd like, though, I could give him a call and ask him if he'd like to pay a visit to YOU in the off-season.
