The whole town is abuzz over today's game,Roberto Loungo's not playing that really stirred the pot should be a dandy

I haven't said this since last year's Finals.....Let's Go Bruins!!

[Bruins Fan]

What a chicken **** game this was,I guess the Vancouver coach knew what he was doing crying about the referees before the game even started.
Ejections of the Bruins first and second line left wingers,penalty yes ejections no freakin way.
I guess it's OK for six Vancouver players to pound on one Bruin but you can't come to help him out.
All Van goals on the PP.
For a team with all that talent they are a disgrace to the game with the stunts they pull.

As someone who hates the Canucks, I see it differently, John.

Bruins instigated the whole mess in the 1st with the whack on Burrows as he went to the bench with his backed turned. Lucic goes to the bench, then comes off to start an altercation when Weise and a B are already throwing? Rule book is pretty clear on this one.

I like Brad Marchand....but those low bridge hits are a good way to injure someone, dirty as Hell, and if it happened to someone on my team, they would be answering the bell with me. JMHO.

[Prefy]

Interedting decison from the NHLPA...looks like they are getting ramped up to negotiate for the CBA, Can't say that this gets things off to a very good start. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.

I caught most of the bruins-nucks games and say I have to agree with the admiral. Some of the games lately have been outstanding, setting up what looks to be a great second half of the season.

In the middle of my first road 3 in 3 tonight down in Austin Texas taking on the baby stars. Got a big 4-1 win over the houston aeros last night, looking to keep things rolling tonight.

Hey Tom, do you love Andrew Shaw yet? He's been playing great down with us and he's great kid. Hopefully he can keep it up with the Hawks.

Matt, both Shaw and Hayes have looked very impressive in their first games. Loved Shaw getting a goal in his first NHL game after getting roughed up in his first NHL fight.

I see the NHL has already recinded the game misconduct called on Lucic. A slow motion breakdown of this play leads me to believe that the slash on Burrows wasn't near as bad as it looked originally. Regarding Lucic, I assume the league is saying he wasn't truly "on" the bench before getting into his altercation.

Watched Don Cherry between periods of the Wings - Leafs game. He basically said exactly what I did...he likes Marchand, but that hit is one of the dirtiest plays in hockey. He said he was suprised Marcharnd didn't leave the ice on a stretcher, basically calling the Casucks out for their lack of toughness.

[Ahbroody]

Well guess I know what other game I am watching after I get off work tonight. Can't wait to watch the Bs Nucks replay.
Only downside to GCL is I can't watch Sharks at work.

[Prefy]

Hayes has done well on the 4th line especially during the Philly game. Most of their shift they had sustained pressure on the OZONE.

It's been a tough season in the standing so far so it's nice to see guys performing well when they get that call.

What do you think of Salak, Matt? Looks like he isn't the #1 goale down there?

Hasn't played much for various reasons, him and his wife had their first baby at the beginning of the season and he has been out since the beginning of December with a lower body injury.

Hopefully he will be back soon.

We are playing at Allstate on Wednesday at 11:00am...you should come out and watch your namesake in action!

Thanks Matt.

11:00 AM? Is Wednesday a holiday I didn't know about? Wish I could, but I have mandatory training for our new facility from 1300-1500, so I would only catch a period at best. Will you be making the trip again this season?

No worries, I think it's a school day game so there will likely be 10,000 screaming kids. In hindsight this might not be the most enjoyable experience

That being said we actually make three more trips to Allstate this year. Hopefully you can make it out. Just let me know which games and Ill get some tickets

Bruins may've lost yesterday, but to me looked like the clearly better team. Tighten up on the penalties and the score would be much different.

[icehog3]

Hawks could drop to 5th in the West if they lose to the Wngs tonight. With a 9 game road trip coming in February, they need to get their act together or they will end up fighting for the 8th spot in March and April again.

[icehog3]

Matt, I have to work Jan 21st and Feb 24th, so looks like Feb 3rd would be the best date for me, assuming you can be there.

I'm at all of them

I'll mark it in my calendar. Fire me a PM with you number and we can get in touch by phone as the date approaches.

Back at it tonight against the Stars...really want to leave Texas with two W's.

[icehog3]

PM sent, Matt...Good Luck tonight!

[Ahbroody]

Let's go Blackhawks

Hawks in a bit
