GAMEDAY 71 - BRUINS

TD Garden

Listen to the game at [WXDX]

Know the Enemy:

They're really angry over there.
We can't possibly figure out why.


Gameday 71 and no Geno.



"By Gawd!  This is gonna be a slobberknocker!"

And the cell is lowered....



We've already mentioned it earlier, but the Boston Herald, one of the oldest daily papers in America and winner of four Pulitzer Prizes, unleashed this piece of fine quality journalism this morning:
"Take Sidney Crosby down every chance they get. He, not Cooke, is the Penguins’ heart and soul. Make him bleed for the sins of his teammate.

Take him into the boards. Knock him down every chance you get. Bounce a puck off his nose if you can. If you get a blind side shot at him, put your body through his chest."
The Bruins may want to focus on winning a hockey game instead.


Making Crosby bleed won't widen the gap between the Bruins and the Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot.

The NHL has brought in veteran officials for tonight's game.
Colin Campbell and directory of officiating Terry Gregson will be in attendance.
Vince McMahon will be there to order Earl Hebner to ring the bell.

Maybe not.

"Wait.... oh my gawd!  That's Eric Godard's music!"





From reader GlensGages:



Proposed Penguins Lines:

Alexei Ponikarovsky - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis
Chris Kunitz - Jordan Staal  - Bill Guerin
Matt Cooke - Tyler Kennedy - Ruslan Fedotenko
Mike Rupp - Max Talbot - Craig Adams

Sergei Gonchar - Mark Eaton
Brooks Orpik - Kris Letang
Jordan Leopold - Alex Goligoski

Marc-Andre Fleury

"The last thing I'd ever want to do is tell someone to invoke some sort of physical treatment to Crosby. But, unfortunately, the way the game's going, if [the NHL is] not going to fix any of this, the only way to make a guy who was running around feel a little bad about himself is to [threaten to] hurt one of his team's star players. I wouldn't do anything to Crosby, but in the warmup I'd let Crosby [know] that we're coming for him. And then when Matt gets out there, I think Matt [has to] own up. And I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Cooke fought in his first or second shift. He's a tough kid, and he can hold his own."

-- P.J. Stock
More stories from the Boston media:

Oh yeah, there's also this from some blog:
"But no true hockey fan, who respects the athletes that they spend their time and money to watch wants to see a superstar get clocked by a goon. But they'd all like to see that superstar stand up for himself and his team. Sidney Crosby certainly has nothing to prove, and no one in the mainstream hockey media would blame him for letting someone else fight his team's battles. But still, he is the captain.

It makes you think, if Mark Messier were in this situation, what would he do? If Jarome Iginla were in this situation, what would he do? If Bobby Orr or Ray Bourque were in this situation, what would they do? Mario Lemieux, of course, would throw a bunch of cheap shots, refuse to drop the gloves, cry and whine to an official if anybody retaliated, and sit back and let Ulf Samuellson do the dirty work on other team's stars, so who knows, maybe Crosby will go that way too- I guess they respect that approach in Pittsburgh."
We're not sure what Mario's exact response would have been in this situation, but we're pretty sure it would have involved embarrassing Ray Bourque.

If need be, Sid will be ready to remove his visor once again.
Maybe, with Savard out of the lineup, someone on the Bruins will actually step up.

Maybe not.








Late edit:
"We don't want anymore bears!"




Blake Wheeler, Dennis Wideman and Johnny Boychuk are all game-time decisions for the Bruins.

For the Penguins, Eric Godard is a game-time decision as well.

Penguins CEO Ken Sawyer will retire on August 31st.
Current team president David Morehouse will become dual president and CEO.



Do it.

Go Pens.

Wait a minute, won't McCreary let the Bruins walk all over the Pens as he is "old school" and usually lets the players sort it out (Also referred to as bad officiating).

Bruins fans seem to think that the refs will protect the Pens, McCreary's presence negates that thought.

If the Bruins start gunning for Crosby, he'll lead them on a merry chase while our secondary scoring rapes Rask (Alliterative ain't it!?).

My husband's been trading emails with our hockey friends about what might happen tonight. He drafted this letter:

Dear Claude,



Matt Cooke knows that he's going to get pounded tonight. In the spirit of allowing your guys to blow off steam, I'd like to suggest that you draw straws to pick 3 guys for fights (one in each period) with an alternate if the game goes into overtime. That way, this doesn't become a circus since we both need the 2 points. If you have another suggestion, let me know. Hopefully we can come to an agreement or I'll have to scratch Cooke and your guys will just explode from the frustration. Another option is to chill out until the next time that Savard plays against us.



Best Wishes,



Disco Dan

Wiz's was also pre-meditated, which makes people think that's why it's so much.

Out of the three hits talked about most, apparently Seabrooks is the least detrimental, but Wiz gets the longest suspension? Crazy.

If you are only interested in Pens games, rest assured that they will always be on Versus. If you don't have Versus, then you're screwed because they will be blacked out on Gamecenter.
Gamecenter is great because of the archive. You can watch any game from the last three seasons, playoffs included. Even though I live here in Pittsburgh, I still have Gamecenter to watch other games and for the archive. Just make sure you have a decent internet connection, otherwise it will constantly freeze up on you.

They do have the Versus games (or any regionally blacked-out game) usually up within 48 hours. I think there's only two or three Versus games elft on the season, but as eurydice said playoffs will be Versuscity. But this does mean you could do the month-by-month deal for the remainder of the season if you want. (I think they still have the monthly basis plan.)

It takes at least 48 hours for them to get the game in the archive, but they do include Versus games.

That is the death knell for the NHL. When a bunch of pasty-white, press types whine so publicly about the mean ol' game of hockey and the knee jerk reaction by the league is grossly over-reacting with something like this...give it 3 years, 5 tops before the game is unrecognizable. All it takes is dropping the bullshit instigator penalty, but mark my words. Stops signs on the helmets coming up. Pffft...I'll enjoy it while I can. I suggest yinz do the same.

no suspensions for richards or cooke. seabrook blind-sides corey perry with neither penalty nor suspension. and wiesnewski gets 8 games for a face-to-face hit.

as long as bettman & cambell are running things, you can forget about fairness and consistency(is that "no chance" i hear playing?). how about just calling it "trial by media" and at least be honest about it? if we can't have rules or enforcement how about simple context?

Bob Murray had some choice words to say about that. It was funny. Q-stache sometimes gets carried away. He's been fined for it already.

Top three quotes heard tonight:

2. Mario Lemieux should have died of cancer. Wait, I take that back, I liked Lemieux, but Crosby should die.

Can't wait for YouTube of MAFer's pokecheck because some dumb bitch decided to stand up in front of me and I missed that bit.

The boos got reallllllly intense in there. Lots of drunk, raucous, mean people. My favorite thing was possibly about midway through the third when a guy who had been trying to get a LET'S GO BRUINS chant started all game just blurted out LET'S GO BLUE JACKETS, EH? Hilarious.

Felt bad for the B's at times. Their fans were just awful to them all night. I hope they'd be that loud for a game where their team played WELL. . .

This has fuck-all to do with hockey.

Anyways...yinz can whisper sweet nothings to MAF's balls about "his" shutout all yinz want, but that was a TEAM shutout. When you got a shaky-ass goalie, it's the team's job to keep the opponents from shooting as much as possible...which they did. If MAF had managed to lose a game in 17 shots total, he would be in deep doody, folks, and so would the Pens. Solid game by the boys, though, and it was pretty fun to watch.
Fuck the Bruins and their "fans"...they deserve each other. A team that plays like they don't give a shit and fans that don't until there's asshattery afoot...buncha freakin' jags, the whole lot of 'em.

Bloguin is shitting the bed more than a 98 year old granny out of Depends. Weaksauce.
