The No-Sports Break

10 days of no football or Bruins hockey… feels so good to have something back

bout time, another year I tuned in not one minute to anything all star weekend related

It’s good to back! Time for the DUB

Missed all you guys! #### THE FLAMES!!!

It feels good to be back. Let's put out the Flames

We survived. We made it. It was a bit rocky there, but we survived the hockey drought.

Game? What is this thing they call game lol

Pre-Pregame thread

We all need hockey! ASAP

Shake off the rust, boys!

Finally a game tonight, I hope the break helped some of the nagging injuries and they get off to a good start. If they follow rotation of goalies, I would prefer Sway being in against the Nucks on Thursday after the snub, put Linus in tonight.

I could not wait for this game to start last night. D'Oh!

Man that was a long 9 days. Felt like the offseason

DROP THE f***ING PUCK ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kuzmenko’s 1st as a Flame

One way player but good at it lol

Kuzmenko is buzzing

That trade is gonna pay huge for dividends for the flames they gave up a 50 goal scorer. Nucks are dumbass.

Kuzmenko looking like pavel bure out there.

Less than ideal but it's early well get it back

Marksman.

Man I can’t stand seeing Gryz on the PK

Forbert really dosen't have much value to the Bruins anymore. It seems like our PK struggles far more this year when he is in the lineup, that was his primary area of strength, 5 on 5 he is average at best. Looking forward to next year when the Bruins get to shed his and Gryz's contracts on the D.

Bench Carlo for the rest of the first

Forbort was a Flame? Why did I think he was with the Kings before us

Sway looked weak.

If Boston needed a wake up call, hopefully that is it. Nice shot, it must be said, but way too much time and space.

Someone's gotta step up here and pretend to be a #1C again

"Tough #### for Brandon Carlo"
-Brick

That wrister was world class, Sway didn't have much of a chance

Kuzmenko looking like pavel bure out there.

Getting beaten from open ice in the low-mid slot is never the goalie's fault.

Zary with a Sick Backhand

D sucks ass

LMAO walked like a dog

That needed to be saved

Swayman the only reason Calgary doesn’t have at least 3 goals right now.

Very sloppy so far, they have had their chances but they are really off.

Shockingly Grzelcyk gets walked on.

Hampus looked lost on that last shift

Just getting completely out worked

I expected things to be a bit sloppy. Maybe not quite this sloppy though.

Giving up way too many odd many rushes. Shake the rust off

Maybe wake up now. Enough with the #### turnovers

Absolutely trash period. Shouldn't be getting dominated by a non-playoff team on home ice.

Coyle blows

3 ffing bruins and they give it away for another goal

I'd call our timeout.

Awful play all around, dug themselves a deep hole.

Marchand lazy turnover and lazy getting back

Calgary playing very physical, taking the man when it's available. Bruins actually seem upset that they're being hit, they're such having an easy skate right now.
Wonder if this second goal will wake them up, or if they'll wait until the halfway point in the game to so any interest.

“2 Minutes for Being Annoying”

MARCHAND GOT A PENALTY

WHAT? HOW THE #### DID MARCHAND GET A CHANCE TO ROUGH ANYONE?!

2 minutes for being Brad Marchand

me complaining about the dog#### call on marchy ending up in the box and also the fact that he got jumped by 4 ####ing guys and my leafs fan buddy goes "its marchand he probably deserved it" shut the #### up lmao

2 minutes because the refs are too chicken#### to admit calling a penalty on Marchand was wrong.

Mother####ing what?

That was an elbow to Marchand’s head surely that’s a PP right?

The guy who punches marchy in the side of the head while he's face down on the ice should also be in the box

Captain elbowed in the head, zero response.

Bruins hockey.

Pospisil is sneaky dirty, gotta watch him always.

This is what being a team full of pansies brings about. Maybe if you didn’t fold every time someone hits you they wouldn’t take liberties.

That skinny little f***ing weasel Pospisil

Alright, take that ####ers head off

TAKE THAT f***ING NUMBER AND KILL HIM

I think we might want to stop bitching about poor individual play - this has been a complete team non effort - we mailed one in against a #### team

Lmao that is the weakest slash call I’ve ever seen

Sway was def gonna punch that guy

He's definitely Calgary's resident rat. Personally don't think that should have been a misconduct though. Or that Marchy's little love taps were worth a penalty either.

Think I’m more pissed at wishing the bruins did what popsicle did. He was just protecting his goalie . I’d rather see that rather than watching them bend over and flat out refuse to play physical hockey.

Just let them hit your captain like that. No response other than some school yard shoving match.

Your captain just got absolutely bundled by a cheapshot and the team does absolutely nothing besides give out hugs

This is embarrassing, letting this team bully us on our home ice. Please Sweeney do something to address this now that Lucic is unavailable.

So someone needs to pop that Popscicle in his face.


Protect your Captain, boys

They’re so, so, soft.

It’s actually gone from sad to comical.

On nights like tonight, I REALLY wish that Lucic hadn’t effed up.

JVR hit his own teammate, does that count?

If that was Bergy you know for a fact they aren't "taking a number and dealing with it later". Marchand would've gone right into the pile and grabbed someone. Someone needs to do the same for him now and they failed.

I'm far from a "we need size and grit!!!" type of hockey fan, but if someone sends your captain to the ground bleeding from a crosscheck to the face you need to do more then just lightly shove some people around. If that was Bergy you know for a fact Marchand is immediately grabbing someone. Coyle and Lindholm are both big dudes, I get it's not their game but just grab someone and wrestle them down.

Bully Ball

well, B's were certainly #### that period.

Ok, maybe I did just hear some booing?

Only down by 2


Regroup for the 2nd.

Wake up

I don't give a f*** at this point. I'm sick and f***ing tired of the Bruins getting bullied.

I do care. I don't need one of our players doing something just as bad and then getting double because of the revenge factor.

Epic turnover by Marchand

I was expecting a little rust but...yikes

The bruins are the second most penalized team and they don’t even have an enforcer. Seems to be a strange imbalance in the force.

Flames are ON US in the DZONE!!!


That's the template to beat us

Lmao, Bruins getting smacked around

Are we having fun yet? Asking for a friend.

We have one shot this period?

Idk how in the world it's only 2-0 because that felt like the least enjoyable 40 minutes of hockey I've ever watched.

Monty is about to walk into the locker room wearing Justin Bieber’s puffy coat and tell it like it is

The Bruins are letting the lowly Flames look like an NHL powerhouse, being totally outsmarted, outworked and outhit. Play like this against Vancouver and it will get ugly.

WAY too much Man

Wow.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a too many men on a power play.

Now I have.

You have to be kidding me

Yuck, that is embarrassing . Too many men

f***ing idiots. Absolute f***ing idiots.

Hubey Dooby Doo!

Fuk. Bad time for a Too Much man.


Annnnd, of course. Huberdeau.

This isn’t bad hockey this is disinterested hockey

Just think. You at home, sitting on your couch, are exerting yourself just as much as professional athletes.

This is absolutely hilarious to watch

Blow it up

Well that should be it.. don’t think they are going to get going again. Hell of a shot

Wake up. How does this even happen.

Pasta just stood around last shift. Nothing new.

Mandatory smelling salts for the whole team needed

Amazing turn of events. You can't write this ####.

Gryz on the ice for all 3 against? Time to bench him already.

Hanifin Trade Value Goal

Noah Hanifin going to put the Bruins on no trade to teams list after this

That goal was Hanifin sending in his cover letter to Sweeney

Definitely think he is coming off season.

Hanafin is replacing Gryz this off season. I don’t want to use book it. Not my trademark. So highly likely

Lot of fans looking forward to coming to the game after the long break only to find out they put in more effort to get to their seats than the Bruins as a collective have all game.

Watching this display is worse than a Ben Affleck commercial when he says "Beantown."

For the crowd that are cutting the bruins slack for playing lazy uninspired hockey, these are the games injuries happen in.

Can’t play at half speed against a team that is buzzing like the flames are right now. Lazy passes, reaching and not playing engaged, that’s when you get lit up.

You know the game got ya buzzed when you're turning down your phone volume wondering why the TV isn't muting.

LMAO and not once ounce of pushback

4-1 now and you’ve played like f***ing pansies

AYFKM? They're getting bent over by Calgary? This team needs a shake-up.

Just a flat night for Bruins. Making the Flames look better than they are.
Calgary has been ass all season

Garden crowd showing more coordination than the Bruins tonight

The break really came at a #### time for us..
We were vibing so well
