Because they wanted them to be intimidated by the crowd and call a pro-Montreal game. It's right out of the David Stern, excuse me Gary Bettman play book.ajml said:
Imagine being in Canada. They're the last team standing.tim mccarver said:
Thankfully, I'm back in the US for that potential Boston-Montréal series. I'd be tempted to murder everyone wearing that godawful toilet seat.
Those fans ragging Stamkos really are a bunch of cunts. I can see, if not condone, booing a guy if he's a noted diver (cough 87 cough) in a sort of "boy who cried wolf" sort of way. But Stamkos isn't. We all saw him play through a broken face in the playoffs, guy's tough as hell.
"typical Montreal" is trending in Canada. Awesome.

I've watched probably 15 or so of these Tampa guys very consistently up here in Syracuse the last 2 AHL seasons. They aren't as bad as they look. I feel for them.
If you have to give out thundersticks you don't get to claim you have a loud arena. It's the rules.

This guy turns into a puddle as soon as the regular season ends and the playoffs start, it's unreal.
Pierre's already called for a too many men penalty and referenced where a player played college/junior hockey. He's got his A game going.
Fleury is a mess, but Vokoun hasn't played an NHL game all year. I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be throwing him right in there.
Zatkoff on the other hand...

I generally like Pierre- he's always come across as pro-Bruin, he's not afraid to call out bad plays, and he is obviously very passionate and knowledgeable about the game- but, yeah, the "let me tell you where this player played junior/college hockey" is really getting tiresome.The Napkin said:
Pens are so careless, particularly in their own end. In a ~ 3 min sequence, two cough ups in the slot and sloppy playing the puck behind the net. They're lucky it only 2 goals.
The legacy of the 2012-2013 Boston Bruins will be that they ended the league's (especially the Eastern Conference's) I guess for lack of a better word fear or respect of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the playoffs. They exposed them, and once you get to that point, you are done. They are totally different players than they were prior to those four games. Scared, timid, looking to defer at every opportunity. The book is out.
