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

[MissTeeks]

It's true.

“@DownGoesBrown: I don't care about Lucic's threat, the worst thing ever said right before a handshake with a Boston Bruin is still "So, Rask for Raycroft?"”

According to @aaronward_nhl the NHL on TSN crew has slowed video of handshake down and lip-readers should be able to decipher Lucic threat.

Okay, chill TSN.

He didn't have to, it was clearly audible on the broadcast - Linden told him he was the best player in the game.

Hahahaha OK now it's getting ridiculous.

There were two fools in the handshake line.

Lucic was both of them.

[Flash Walken]

Lip Readers?

CSI this ####.

ENHANCE! ENHANCE!

Are you not happy your team won

Lucic is an idiot and Weise is a crybaby, don't really like either one of them.

Meh. Went and checked. It's not that bad.

Obviously some over the top hatred, but that's internet for you.

Mostly I think they're saying some rather obvious things. Slow, more of a complementary player these days, points don't tell the real story etc. Speculating on injuries. Doesn't win enough puck battles, bad defensively, overpaid, overused by the coaches, team mates forcing pucks to him, inconsistent. Would be fine as cheap scoring depth.

Really a lot of same stuff that was said on this board before he was traded, just a lot worse. I wouldn't really disagree on the basics, even if the tone is obviously over the top right now. There's some PO'd hockey fans there.

Iggy can still put up points, but in most games he doesn't bring much beyond that. This is hardly news. The man is old.

Hard fought series.
I think we will be hearing about some Bruin injuries in the upcoming weeks or as some one else noted, maybe they were out of gas after taking the Presidents Trophy.

Definitely wasn't the Bruin team we all expected to see.

I think we can all agree...or not...that

Being part of a Bruins - Habs Playoff series, win or lose, should be on every NHL players bucket list.


Wonder if i can get CBC while camping this wknd at Mclean.

Do OTA signals reach that far ?

Subban's comments on the Lucic thing:

"I don't really want to talk about that. He's probably a little bit upset. He's a great player; he competed hard. Listen, we had many battles, and we're gonna have many more. He's probably one of those guys you want on your team."

Why would you want TSN to look into what Lucic said?

True, but then he kissed Pierre McGuire (not joking), so that kind of cancels that out.

I cannot believe another choker in Eastern Conference. After what happened to Pittsburgh, i was afraid Montreal will do the same thing to Boston. It sucks that Iggy will not win the Cup again this season. I guess better luck next season. Hats off to Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens.

[CedarMeter]

It's easy to say now but I knew this game was over in the first five minutes. I thought Boston would come out an own the play and be physical and bang some heads. It didn't happen. Hats off to the Habs they deserve it.

He's a scumbag. But basically just curiosity on what he said. I find player interactions interesting and like knowing what they say to each other I don't care about Weise at all.
