Lol, it's 10 pm in Montreal.

Did Grabovski bite Paccioretty?

Bourque was the third man in. Not dirty at all.

Cole is still the best all time, but it's hard to listen to him now, knowing how great he was.

YZERMAN!!! SCORES!!!!

He's probably calling the game using an old tape recording he made during a Leafs/Habs game from 5 years ago. No one pays attention to his play-by-play anyway.

Jayems · 02-09-2013, 08:00 PM

Even if there was a bite, Paccioretty shoves his forearm in his mouth and keeps it there.

But only Orr had his gloves off. It's not clear-cut, but Orr was the only one interested in throwing punches.

Third man in throwing bombs and third man in meandering into the area are two different things. Bourque was the latter.

Bieksa and Hamhuis shouldn't even be considered unless there's a few injuries.

Canada has an extremely unbalanced crop of defensemen with regards to what side they play on. Bieksa's a right side guy which puts him behind Weber, Doughty, Seabrook, Pietrangelo, Letang, Boyle, Subban, etc. Basically he doesn't have a hope in hell of making the team barring a Montgomery Burns dream baseball team style disaster.

On the left though, there's not a ton there with Keith being the only shoe-in which makes Hamhuis making the team a little more plausible. He still likely wouldn't make the cut, but it's conceivable.

And I still say Reimer could be the third goalie.

I just can't see it. I guess it depends on how he plays between now and then, but I can't see taking him before any of Luongo, Ward, Fleury, or Price and I'd argue someone like Crawford is more proven and reliable.

Yeah, if someone had their forearm smothering my face, I'd probably reflexively bite them.

Roof-Daddy · 02-09-2013, 08:02 PM

Well, the Habs are going to need some anal ointment after that mess.

That was a beating in every way, shape and form.

trackercowe · 02-09-2013, 08:02 PM

So is Leo Komarov the first Estonian born NHer to ever score a goal? Looked it up, and it seems that way.

Unless you count this guy, but he was born in Canada.

Orr had no need to throw that punch, it was stupid. He knows there is nobody on the ice that is going to fight him.

That said, McLaren is a clown.

Roof-Daddy · 02-09-2013, 08:39 PM

Nashville/Minny tied 1-1 in the last minute.
St.Louis/Anaheim tied 5-5 in the final 5 minutes.

Let's make sure everybody gets points!

Roof-Daddy · 02-09-2013, 08:47 PM

Yeap.

Both games in OT now.

Henry Fool · 02-09-2013, 08:51 PM

Selänne with a 4-point night.

AC · 02-09-2013, 09:02 PM

Aha, someone else made a gif of the Orr cheapshot. Found on Reddit:

Vedder · 02-09-2013, 09:49 PM

Orr is a piece of garbage. Should be suspended for that.

getbak · 02-09-2013, 10:03 PM

I don't know how it can be considered a cheap shot when Bourque was the one who initiated it.

Don't jump a goon from behind after he has already dropped his gloves if you don't want him to come up swinging.

Matty81 · 02-09-2013, 11:35 PM

Lots of pushing and shoving in scrums, you just blindly start throwing bombs at guys with their gloves still on, you should get suspended. I hate the notion that the minute there's a pushing match you should be ready for anything and its fair to belt a guy in the face without squaring off. Lol that bourque "jumped" him.
