Bruins at Panthers - 4-9-15

[Ferm Sheller]

Two words: two points.

 

[j44thor]

Less Campbell, more Pasta/Spooner/Lucic
 
Anyone think we may not see Connolly after his slew foot?

 

[pappymojo]

dedicated to Gregory Campbell

I know just what to do
we'll gag him
body bag him
we better cut his tongue out
dissect him
disrespect him
we'll carve his heart and lungs out

[McDrew]

I will be furiously channel-flipping between ESPN2 and NESN+ for this one.  Go Boston teams!

 

[BoSoxFink]

I'm already incredibly nervous about this game. It feels like the equivalent of a game 7 of the playoffs to me.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I'm already incredibly nervous about this game. It feels like the equivalent of a game 7 of the playoffs to me.

Anything less than 2 points tonight and they could lose control of their own destiny with everyone having one game left to play. It effectively is as close to a Game 7 as you can get.

 

[Terras]

Control what you can control. The Panthers, for all their advances, are still the fucking Panthers. Win tonight.

 

[McDrew]

From NESN: Campbell not on the ice.  Krecji is the 4th line C

 

[Reardon's Beard]

That's a good start in my book.

 

[LogansDad]

 
That's a good start in my book.

Clode's just resting Campbell for 25+ minutes of ice time.  Don't want to wear him out in warmups.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Win tonight, Rangers win, and give Tuukka the next game off

 

[Salem's Lot]

Fuck gotta bury that.

 

[TFP]

These lines are interesting.

 

[Titoschew]

Possession for like 3:00 and no penetration below the dots.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

What a pass

 

[FelixMantilla]

What a beautiful pass by Pasta.

 

[LogansDad]

Just what we need is for Luongo to be locked in

 

[Reardon's Beard]

Guys what are the lines. I am in and out on the radio ATM.

 

[LogansDad]

Jesus Connolly.... wtf was that hit?

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

That can't be a penalty

 

[TFP]

Guys what are the lines. I am in and out on the radio ATM.

Marchand - Bergy - Smith
Lucic - Spooner - Pastrnak
Kelly - Sodeberg - Eriksson
Talbot - Krejci - Connolly

 

[BoSoxFink]

Connolly hasn't impressed me the last couple of games, but maybe it's rust. He makes a lot of bonehead plays

 

[TFP]

Jesus Connolly.... wtf was that hit?

It wasn't a penalty, that's what the fuck it wasn't. 

 

[BoSoxFink]

That can't be a penalty

seriously?

 

[LogansDad]

That can't be a penalty

Huh?  He pushed the dude's head directly into the boards from in front of the goal line?  No way that isn't a penalty.

 

[BoSoxFink]

It wasn't a penalty, that's what the fuck it wasn't. 

are you serious? He drilled him head first into the boards

 

[Salem's Lot]

How does Connolly get an extra roughing there?

 

[BoSoxFink]

How does Connolly get an extra roughing there?

that is dumb, but obviously the refs felt the need to give Florida a PP after that hit

 

[Salem's Lot]

are you serious? He drilled him head first into the boards

It wasn't head first watch it again. Left shoulder hit the boards first.

 

[j44thor]

Is Connolly known as a dirty player?  Slew foot last night and that hit tonight.
Just coincidence or something to be concerned with?

 

[BoSoxFink]

It wasn't head first watch it again. Left shoulder hit the boards first.

yea you're right, but it's still a penalty. Connolly can't hit him in that position

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Is Connolly known as a dirty player?  Slew foot last night and that hit tonight.
Just coincidence or something to be concerned with?

Marchand has a longer resume of being a dirtbag

 

[BoSoxFink]

I was literally thinking the same thing.

Hopefully he didn't cost the Bruins all that momentum they came out with too.

 

[j44thor]

Marchand has a longer resume of being a dirtbag

 
That wasn't the question, I know who Brad Marchand is.  Don't really know much about Connolly.  

 

[TSC]

 
That wasn't the question, I know who Brad Marchand is.  Don't really know much about Connolly.  

It wasn't the question, but it was the answer.

Marchand is known as a dirtier player than Connolly. Connolly plays on the edge, but doesn't toe the line and go over like Marchand.

 

[LogansDad]

I love that teams can apparently just takes runs at Pasta whenever they want to.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

 
That wasn't the question, I know who Brad Marchand is.  Don't really know much about Connolly.  

You asked if it was something to be concerned about. Marchand is a bigger concern and Connolly has no reputation

 

[TSC]

He can dive like Marchand though!!!

 

[FelixMantilla]

I love that teams can apparently just takes runs at Pasta whenever they want to.

 
This happens every game. And it better change soon.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Bruins haven't done much since the Connolly penalty

 

[TFP]

 
This happens every game. And it better change soon.

 
How? We wanted speed and skill and not toughness, remember?

 

[Reardon's Beard]

Hooking? No calls?

 

[LogansDad]

 
How? We wanted speed and skill and not toughness, remember?

I don't think Felix was using that as a knock on Pasta

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Extra rest for Chara isn't a terrible thing

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Solid period. Much better than anything last night.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Solid period. Much better than anything last night.

first half of the period was. Second half, not so much.

 

[cshea]

 
How? We wanted speed and skill and not toughness, remember?

Where's Campbell!!!

 

[TFP]

I don't think Felix was using that as a knock on Pasta

Who's left to stick up for him? That's my point.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Who's left to stick up for him? That's my point.

 
It doesn't have to be a head bashing, but you need to stick up for him. Last I saw he and Lucic were on the same line.
