First time Wideman's ever been on target.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hope you enjoy the taste of this one for a week, assholes.

[Salem's Lot]

Of course

[Spaulding Smails]

Well that about sums this night up.

[Riles335]

I would never want the trade back but I would like Wideman back. He is a good player and was an unfortunate scapegoat by many ignorant fans.

[BoSoxFink]

This was a terrible performance tonight. This team really has been playing lackluster hockey for the last few weeks, especially defensively

[Jed Zeppelin]

What a combination of getting outworked and playing fucking stupidly.

[SoxScout]

Can we call up Hamilton

I said this from the moment they traded him

Is there any player you don't like and/or want back on the Bruins?

[AimingForYoko]

I'm too worn out to appropriately express how much I hate Joe Corvo.

[Riles335]

First time Wideman's ever been on target.

The Dennis Wideman who has 9 goals on the year with 34 total points in 48 games?

[NYCSox]

Awful awful awful loss.

Get your heads out of your asses after the break.

[Salem's Lot]

Too many mental mistakes tonight. Good time for a week off. Thankfully the White House visit is the last of the cup events. They always seem to have a let down the next game.

[Riles335]

Wheeler and Wideman are the only two. Both strong players that were unfortunate scapegoats by ignorant fans. I am sorry I commented on Zach Hamill tonight playing better and that I would like Wideman back.

Nah, you must be thinking of someone else. Common mistake.

You know, when I heard he got suspended 10 games in juniors I was thinking that this may be the perfect time for that 9 game stint.

[BoSoxFink]

I actually think Wideman would be the perfect upgrade to Corvo right now. I wish the Caps would fall out of it and that there was actually a chance the Bruins would ever bring him back

[Riles335]

Lol, I did get a good laugh out of that one.

These are the dog days for any NHL team. The week leading up to a break can create that coasting mindset. Its a great sign that we can be pissed about a .500 week in which the Bruins played 6 games in 8 days in which they played 5 play off teams.

Great first half Bruins, great first half.

[PedroSpecialK]

I hate Don van Massenhoven.

I'm beginning to hate Brendan Shanahan. .6 seconds is the weakest of fucking weak excuses.

[MiracleOfO2704]

I thought .5 was the standard of late. At least that's what I remember from the Rome hit. If that's the case, we're truly back to the dartboard.

[Nomar813]

I'm beginning to hate Brendan Shanahan. .6 seconds is the weakest of fucking weak excuses.

Particularly considering their obsession with injuries when determining suspensions.

[FL4WL3SS]

I've been up all night...


...working.

[OilCanCoulter]

Yeah, I got kicked out of this one in the third period. Some asshat geezer sitting two rows in front of us started running his mouth after the fourth goal. "Fuck you, you're lucky Ovi isn't here, Tim Thomas is a commie,bla bla" shit like that. I told him if his shit team ever won anything, maybe they would go to the white house. Then I asked him why he wasn't wearing his Presidents Trophy shirt, and made a comment about his wife doing the laundry. He got belligerent and said his wife was dead. Of course I countered with, "well now she's a good Caps fan" which led to his son throwing a punch at me.

I love this town.

[PedroSpecialK]

The President's Trophy line is really good. Well done

[Tony the Pony]

Remind me to never go to a game with Jeff. I hate people that can't behave like proper guests while on the road

[OilCanCoulter]

This type of shit wouldn't happen if our government wasn't out of control.

[Tony the Pony]

Actually, from your initial post I'd conclude this wouldn't have happened if Thimas hadn't acted like a dumb sack a shit a couple of days ago

(EDIT: Dead wife jokes are awesome. I'll need to practice those in French next time we are up in MTL)

Only one thing left to do.

ROLL KHUDOBIN

[OilCanCoulter]

Just called the season ticket holder I got the tix from. Hoping to buy the tix for Feb 5 from him before he hears about this so I can go back and heckle the shit out of those assholes.

You could give him some etiquette lessons.

[Haunted]

Well that sucked.

Exactement!

[Toe Nash]

I was at the game too. Shocked they have three banners up for the 09-10 season when they were bumped in the first round (Division champs, Presidents Trophy, and Regular Season Conference Champs).

What a garbage franchise.

[The Four Peters]

Bruins have Division and President's trophy banners up for all applicable years as well. Not sure about a conference champs trophy from 08-09 though.

[Toe Nash]

Not really. They have a consolidated banner with the years they've won the division.

President's Trophy is worthy of a banner. But come on.

The Division Champ and Presidents' Trophy banners were hung after they won 'em, but those two "Regular Season Conference Champion" banners (for '09-'10 and '10-'11) were hung last week, with no explanation as far as I can tell. I'm a Caps fan, and I agree with you that those things are stupid (and I think most Caps fans would agree).

[PedroSpecialK]

Dojji sez:

I was wandering around on capgeek looking for pending FA defensemen to amass a list of candidates and I had to chuckle.

Ostensibly one of the best fits to fill our needs of the pending free agents is a familiar face. After all, the only flaws in Dennis Wideman in terms of what we want, are the fact that he plays for a contender, shoots right, and the prior history. If he hits free agency -- and he may or may not -- he immediately becomes one of the best available options to fill that role in the offseason depending on what Suter does. You can call that a poor pool of candidates, I choose to call it the people who keep spouting the Wideman sucks mantra need to learn to figure out when the facts disagree with them.

Mr. Make Believe confronts Dojji on his Wideman infatuation:

You're just in LOVE with Dennis Wideman, aren't you? You ****ing just LOOOOOOOVE him. Looooooooovve...

Question? Doesn't matter.
Answer: Dennis Wideman

Listen... I was never a hater. But the guy couldn't SKATE. And the last thing I want on this defense (as a puck-mover or otherwise) is someone who can't skate. Add to that, the flaws that even YOU would admit... And (and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this) I don't want a DAMN thing to do with Dennis Wideman.

The ship has ****ing sailed, and thank whatever deity you pray to that it has. The conversation has now been changed to finding actual solutions. Please join us in that discussion.

[Blacken]

My unsecret mancrush on Former Dennis (as opposed to my secret mancrush on Current Dennis) will live on forever, but while I think he'd be better than Corvo, that doesn't tent my pants enough to want him back. Gleason please.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Corvo has been terrible lately, but to my untrained eyes Seidenburg has also been scuffling quite a bit. They look to really need a few days off.

[timlinin8th]

The entire D corps have looked like they are playing on tired legs - even Chara has been susceptible to uncharacteristic flubs over this busy stretch. A little rest will hopefully do them good.

[Haunted]

I hate wasting this in a game thread but...

[kenneycb]

That is hypnotizing.

[PedroSpecialK]

Anyone looking to kill some time, these old HF polls via Hockey Broads are a laugh riot. Antropov v. Kesler in particular.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Not having any game threads to dump my angst into is making the angst of these two weeks much worse. I'd do it in the Celtics threads, but they can't take jokes over there.

[PedroSpecialK]

Angst you say?

[Haunted]

Linkin Park stinks.


I went to a concert that didn't stink at all last night. Megadeth with Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil (meh).

I was too busy drinking down the street to see boring Lacuna Coil but the other three bands ripped. Megadeth might be the tightest live band ever.

[The Four Peters]

Wow Lacuna Coil. I remember them coming out on WAAF back in the early 2000's with "Heaven's a Lie". I had no idea they were still a band.

[PedroSpecialK]

Based on some casual youtubing, they're about as much of a band as Great White

[Haunted]

Wow Lacuna Coil. I remember them coming out on WAAF back in the early 2000's with "Heaven's a Lie". I had no idea they were still a band.

Yup. they've been around since the early-mid 90's actually. They had that one hit but they're too much of a metal band to get more radio play. And since modern rock radio plays nothing but classic rock and buttrock, that isn't likely to change.
