Woweeeee what a hockey game!

Holy friggen crap, we won a game!

Beautiful!

Sorry it was a 3 point game Serge.

bullshit...Doesnt matter...We keep winning we will make it

UGH Boston vs Washington today, again one of those games where I have no idea who I want to win, just as long as it's not another OT game and I'll live with the outcome.

I'd cheer for Boston

I actually have no idea either, I guess you need to not worry about our game, and just win your own games.

Yeah, I'll be watching it and flipping back and forth between the rerun season premiere of Top Chef that I haven't seen yet. Any news on Chara yet(?), I haven't kept up with the team for about 4 days or so

I have no idea on Chara, would be nice if he came back soon. You'd think it wouldn't be that serious since he came back and finished the game he got hurt in, but maybe that just made it worse.

Yeah, if you guys could shut out Ovechkin today, that'd be fantastic.

Thanks.

Will be hard without Chara, but Auld will do his best.

damn I need backstrom and fleishman not to do anything either...

Washington is flying, and Boston couldn't really do much against that 5 on 3. So hopefully Bruins come out with a good plan in the 2nd.

yep. 1-1.

Decent period. It's nice to be going into the 3rd not losing for a change.

Hopefully we can bring this one home. It's pretty much a must win since the next 2 games are against the rival Habs who we haven't beat all year, and I don't expect us to now.

WOOOOOOOW
they only thing I asked for from these past two games was not for OT with Boston. Of course that's never good enough.

Thank you for shutting out Ovechkin. Evgeni Malkin and Penguin Nation appreciate it.

ridicolous this team and their stupid 3 pt games every day..

Boston is looking really bad in shootouts lately, imo.

Yeah we need Chara back for the mighty slapshot in shootout.

I'm looking forward to this up comming Home and Home.
This could be a little peice of history in the making. A season blow out will be good for this rivalry that has lasted throughout the ages.

I expect the Bruins to put up a good fight if they have any character, this is also important for their chances at a playoff spot, so I don't think they will be as soft as in other 6 games this season. Then again, they haven't been playing great hockey lately and the Habs are looking to look up a playoff spot by the end of the week.

Yah, sure hope the B's sweep the home and home.

Any update on whether Chara is in the lineup tonight?

you may have already seen this, but:

Bruins Blog @ boston.com

Zdeno Chara made it through the entire morning skate, but the Bruins have not decided whether he will be available tonight. Chara has missed the last five games because of an upper-body injury.
"We'll be making that decision shortly here," said Claude Julien. "He just got off the ice, so we'll probably know more by game time."
Chara was not available for comment. He went through all the drills and didn't appear to have significant limitations.

I guess he is a probable, but I still maintain he has a big injury that is being hidden. Seperated shoulder?

If you read Howard Berger's blog, he blamed Pat Quinn for starting this...

Upper Body injury could mean Headache, broken face, or a scratch under the eye.

i did see that and thats the problem. i could use suter against detroit or erik johnson at ottawa over chara instead. chara has been a beast this year though so i'd like to see him in the lineup.

I'd use someone other than Chara. Like MLP (is that Arp?) said, it's probably more serious than they are letting on. And even if it's not and he plays today, we have Montreal who will own us even with Chara.

Tonight is the first night of the Bruins playoff hopes going out the window.

who to go for then: EJ at Ottawa - the Blue havent been great recently and Ottawa is much better at home or Suter against Detroit, with the red wings shuting down everybody.

6:28 p.m.
Zee is on the ice...

i'll probably stick with him and hope for the best. there is no obvious advantage in the other 2 options anyways.

i would have gone with EJ. he seems like he's getting it together lately.

i really hope Chara is healthy and back to stay. I need him in my pool.

his name is alex, WOW

Bad 1st period for the Habs but this secong period is awesome so far, 2-1 now.

Post this crap in the Habs thread please.

gg life. glad i got beer.

Sorry Ray...that was a tough loss...Thanks though for keeping the Leafs faint hopes alive..Two games against the Bruins will do the trick..See you in Toronto Tuesday boys.

The only good thing about getting 10th will be seeing you guys get 9th.

We will finish 8th...

10 in a row now... Ak46-Pleks-kovy line has 31 points vs the bruins this season

Kostopoulos got the worst of that fight, yikes

the 2 games you have vs Buffal are going to be huge.

I like that you threw in a Boston compliment and comment about big games just so you could throw out another Habs brag in my thread. Well played.

meh, I just haven't opened the Habs thread yet, thats all.

How was that stick in the face of Kostitsyn by Thomas not a penalty? It reminded me of emery on Lapierre, that got him a suspension...
And then the massive inteference with Price on the 2nd goal, earlier this season that was a call, but now it isn't anymore.

Thomas deserved a penalty, but Thornton (I think) was pushed into Price by Markov (I think).

That was hardly a push by whichever d-man that was, Price was clearly in his crease and whoever ran him could have avoided him.

OPEN LETTER TO RAY AND THE BRUIN FANS:

Even though we dont hate you as much as the those morons from Montreal or imbeciles from Ottawa, this week you are enemy number 1...We are focused on continuing where we left off the last time we embarrased you by a touchdown..Good luck to you and the Bruin fans...

IT'S A CELEBRATION!!!!!!

Well done Bruins! Look foreward to seeing you in the playoffs.

Habs

I'm not going to get carried away...we still need to win at least 3 games, with a tough schedule. Buffalo twice, Ottawa twice, Toronto and New Jersey... will be tough. Especially without Savard, as we don't know when he'll be back.

If you'd win the Ottawa and New Jersey games we'd really appreciate it.

Habs

So would we, we'll really try.

Savard with a broken bone albeit not severe.
Marco Sturm leads the team in goals, he's on pace to break the record in the past 40 years in Boston or so for least amount of goals to be the team leader.
