Bruins Hockey 2010 - 2011

Wooooooooooooooooo!!

We needed a game like this to get some momentum back. 

Now if we can just keep it ... like the C's, they've had trouble sustaining momentum in the past. Here's to them dominating from here on out! (Gonna miss the rest of this one). Go Beeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!

Yup.  The B's proved they weren't outmatched in Vancouver.  They just needed to be put the flarfin' puck in the net and be the aggressor.

Yep.  The Bruins absolutely have proved they "belong".  Last time around -- in 1990 -- they looked completely outclassed, even though they took a game.  This time around, Games 1 and 2 literally could have gone either way.

It's so much fun to watch hockey after watching the NBA. So much more physicality. Hockey announcers hardly even acknowledge things that would make people scream for suspensions in the NBA

[Redz]

Canucks totally quit out there.

Beautiful game by the B's

Luongo is a sieve.

Great job. Maybe this will remind Luongo that he's a choker and should not be shutting us out

Not a big hockey fan (I actually like Edmonton and Colorado more, long story - just call me LeBron lol) but very nice to see the Bruins catching fire. It's funny because Vancouver have Jannik Hansen, the first Dane ever in a Stanley Cup final series and maybe I ought to be cheering for him but I am hoping for the B's to win it. Why? Because I know so many of you would love them to.

Four game suspension after nothing for biting earlier?

Make up to try to clean up the series a bit. and really, the canucks fault.

After they got away with that in game 1 they just became so insufferable and openly mocking of the leagues decision in their taunting that i think the league looked at a questionable if not downright dirty hit and said "ok, we'll bring the hammer down now"

The thing is, im not sure the cat isn't out of the bag. Vancover is now gonna feel targeted and the bruins despise them for the bite and now headhunting.

Should be a war the rest of the way.

[JT11]

Horton is out for the rest of the series, which to me is much more of a blow to us than losing Aaron Rome is to them.

Hope he gets well soon. He's been so good for us this postseason and it's his first, I feel awful.

Game 4 is going to be about as interesting a Stanley Cup Final as you could possibly ask for.  It's such a strange matchup with opposite styles and personalities.  The B's showed a heck of a lot of guts last night.  They really handed it to the Canucks after two really frustrating losses where they showed they were not the huge underdogs everyone thought they were, but still had an 0-2 deficit to show for it.  Plus all of the biting and cheapo penalties.  Suddenly the Canucks look like Shmucks, and the Bear is growling. 

Can the Canucks respond after such a complete thrashing?  The B's have shown time and time again that they can handle adversity this playoffs.  I think the B's win tomorrow night and whoever wins Game 5 takes it in 6.

Series is there for the taking though if the Bruins can keep their claws on their necks. (enough of the Bear metaphors?)

I'm just worried that the league is gonna crackdown on all the wildness that we saw in Game 3 and that the game is called much tighter than Monday night. 

That puts the Bruins at a disadvantage given their style and how they imposed their will through the roughness in Game 3.
