EC Playoffs Round 2: Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens (Habs win series 4-3)

[Itse]

Not a bad game, but somehow it still feels like neither team is really giving it their all yet.

(Or maybe it's just me.)

[Nufy]

Ya have to call that.

Iginla on Pacioretty - no penalty. Exact same play with the jerseys reversed - penalty.

He's playing fine.

I think I would be a plus player on the Bruins...he blows the zone on every play. CBC just called him out on it earlier don't think I am out of line here

he was a bag of dongs for the pens last year too in his own end, still playing well offensively

[puckluck2]

Canadiens are so damn lucky.

Another freakin' post, Bruins? Really?

[Itse]

Sheesh, was Krejci trying to get himself killed there?

(Not that I'm defending the hit as such.)

Not even close to being the same play lol.

Pacioretty turned at the last second; so did Krejci.

Call the game the same for both teams, please.

Actually I agree he turned but the difference is Pacioretty was at a stand still and turned at the last second. Krejci did turn but he was skating into the boards.

Habs just destroying the Bruins with the physical play. Embarrassing.

[puckluck2]

Then they let that go...

[Pizza]

hate to say it, but Iggy looks awful out there... so many turnovers

[puckluck2]

Murray could have been called 4 times on that shift.

Yeah, I just got home to watch the game and saw Montreal dish out like 4 big hits in a row. I had to do a double take I thought I'd gone colour blind.

I mean he may be struggling a bit but he's not Nugent-Hopkins bad

To clarify...for what?

The Iggy of old would be eating this Habs team alive. He'd just bowl his way to front of the net and score a greasy one. I still love him, but he's certainly not the player he once was. He's still effective in a PP type role, and he still has a killer shot. But he's not very effective 5 on 5 these days.

[Itse]

Kind of crazy that the game is still at 0-0, looking at all the chances both sides have had. Not necessarily a lot of million dollar chances, but still plenty enough to get at least one goal.

I don't see either side having a clear advantage either. It's looking like this game might as well be decided by a coin toss.

Is Boston's roster getting old? The way it looks right now, it wouldn't hurt to have the younger legs of Seguin out there.
