Lucic suspension unfair
I'm going to try and not be a homer, but I think majority of people who are fans of the game (minus Habs fans) do not think that suspension was justified.
First, Carcillo's suspension I don't agree with other than his reputation and the Flyers team, so the NHL was making a point, fine.
Cammalleri should have been suspended since he did the same exact thing based on Carcillo's suspension, but he was not.
Now Game 1 in Montreal, I don't think Lapierre should have been suspended for attacking Kessel, nothing major happened and it was just some stupid rough stuff at the end of the game.
Kostopolous should have been suspended for clearly going after Hunwick's head. Although he did not connect, the intent was there.
I also do not think Komisarek should have been suspended UNLESS it was clear if he was eye gouging, which I honestly could not tell.
On the Lucic play, Schneider was spearing and jabbing him, he was engaged with Lucic and then Lapierre skated over and Lucic punched him in the head, which happens. Nothing major and the stick didn't hit Lapierre or else he would have been injured. Also to note, this play was much less damaging than when Lucic pulled down Komisarek from behind, which he did not get suspended for. This is a joke suspension, IMO.

The suspension is a joke if it was a montreal player did the same thing he WILL NOT get any kind of suspension look what happen at the end of game 1
being from canada, i can honestly say that colin campbell has a strong bias towards canadian teams. if it will positively affect the habs, flames or canucks you can bet on a suspension...and you can throw-in the wonder-team too (pens).
Agreed, terrible suspension. At least it's only 1 game.
halak looks like a little kid from the make a wish foundation.
4-2 bruins

yeah this is ridiculous. lucic's stick bounced off his shoulder too so it wasnt a clear headshot. camialleri not being suspended is just disgusting, and yeah you can make an argument for kostopolous and komisarek too
I look for a big game from Wheeler and Krejci tonight. Going to be tough in Montreal......4-3 B's !
This suspension, shows that Colin Campbell is a hipocritical son of a bitch.
Time for Bitz hits, and a big Blake Wheeler goal.
Bruins fans, this could be a blessing in disguise. The Bruins know what Lucic's physical game brings to the table, and with fully capable bruisers throughout the lineup, they will step up in that regard more.
Bruins will win!
theres one good thing comign from this suspension. it will show everyone wheeler deserves to be on a scoring line again. hopefully it finally gets hands of stone axelsson off the first line.
Habs - out in FORE!!!
vince_m
au revoire!
Et le blue!!!! Where are you...?
I want to hear about that 6-0 bashing by the habs you predicted.
You are now 0-for whatever on your predictions.
Paybacks a bitch, eh?
Suck it.
Things for habs fans to be frustrated about;
1. They suck
2. Bitz and Hnidy come in, and produce in place of Hunwick and Lucic
3. Schneider and Tanguay out.
4. They suck
5. Our captain has been a captain, Koivu is on his ass, and lets Kobasew walk in and score an empty netter
6. Timmy!!!!!
7. Savard, Bergeron and Krejci prove why depth at center is most key
8. Lucic will be back with a vengeance for game 4
9. Ryder scores a game winner against the stupid habs
10. Et le blue keeps predicting the exact opposite of what actually happens
11. Man, this list could go on and on and on!!!!
I love how the habs fans go on with this injury crap and we are a 8th place team!
The Bruins had players hurt last year and was an 8th place team, but they had heart and forced game 7. How one year makes a difference.
Go Bruins Go.
They are an eigth place team because they suck...so thanks for reminding me. they have injuries because they're pansies.
Exactly Mook. Exactly.
They're an 8th place team because their team leaders are soft. Kovalev? please.. Koivu? no way. Markov? no. They have some decent hockey players but no direction or leadership, especially with Gainey behind the bench.
The Bruins, despite their depth, have something the Habs don't have. That's team continuity. Every LINE has a leader. You've got Savard who gives up his body diving around for pucks, you've got Bergeron who has returned to form, he's hitting, playing tough in the corners and making things happen, you've got the Riders, Yelles, Thorntons who love nothing more than to lead by example.
The Canadiens have one guy like that, Schnieder, and he's hurt and making zero impact.
This series is over, even if the Habs do take a game (which they won't).
Oh, and stop taking away from the Bruins accomplishments. The Canadiens do not suck, the Bruins are just that good.
schneider is over rated and not a leder in my book. the habs have no leadership. some OK players, some egos, some over rated vets and a starting goalie that doesn't deserve the position based on his play.
two things that bother me about this series.
1. Listening to CBC's commentators druel all over Price's balls the second he makes a routine save. Greg Millen should have his head checked. Is he watching the same game?
2. Why did A good guy like Metropolit do to deserve having to play with this group of jerkoffs. I bet he can't wait for the year to end and look for another team.
The Flyers fucked Metro.
I agree. Metro is a good guy, I'm sure he is a good teammate to all the dirty habs, but he most likely hates playing there.
Everyone does. Which is why no big name UFA's will ever sign there.
millen sucks, but bob cole rocks! i may be biased, but cbc is the best broadcast available (yes, including coaches corner).
i bet gainey forces lang to play next game...what does he care if he sustains a major injury or somehow re-injures himself permanently ruining his career? lang's contract with the habs is over...and gainey is a scumbag.
on behalf of all canadians on this site (and everywhere else), i apologize for the booing of the american national anthem. i was really embarrassed about that.
okay now its time for lucic to come back hopefully (very doubtful) axelsson gets put back on the 4th line. krejcis line was best line on the ice last night. axe sucks and missed so many chances once again. i love him on the pk and fourth line but come on we need a finisher on the wing of the bruins best two players. imagine had they had a left wing the scores would been like 5-1. love bitz but someones gotta sit.
Bob Cole is also brutal. He's so far behind in the play by play it's like he's got the Don Cherry 10 second delay...
I do agree with the fact that they give Price way too much credit. He has no idea where the puck is after an initial save and they still try to comment on how amazing his rebound control is. Ask Michael Ryder how his rebound control is.
I miss the NESN broadcasts.

Where are all of you that you don't get the NESN broadcasts of these games? I'd kill myself if I had to watch it anywhere else lol.
i'm in toronto...on nhl centre ice it is usually NESN, but since it is broadcast locally we have CBC. I prefer CBC to NESN anyways.
I got into it with a Leafs fan last night. It was great. I made fun of Vesa Toskala and he had no comeback...
mainly because he's a fairy and even Leafs fans know it.
from Niagara Falls, ON. Former home of the Bruins junior farm affiliate back in the day. Lots of long time B's fans in the region.
B's fans from Ontario typically need center ice to get all the games. We usually get NESN's feed and it is wickedly refreshing to finaly get some B's bias as apposed to the Leafs/Habs propaganda. Edwards is amusing but I really like the guys on wbz1030. Beers and Gaucher. From NF, Ont., the station will come in after 6 or 7pm.
Yes I am a sick B's fan and these are good times (so far)!
From Foxtrap NF. I am a HUGE Bruins fan & particularly enjoy the NESN broadcast. I really miss it now when I am forced to listen to CBC.
I like Jack Edwards & Andy Brickley. Jack's last game comment that I seen on the NESN website was priceless -
"I did not see any ghosts in the Bell Centre, but at the end of the game I knew they were there because I heard them and they were all saying "boo"".
the habs left a big mess for us to sweep up...im fine with that
I'm in Edmonton and absolutely hate the Oilers. It's right up there with the Habs. I had center ice and probably watched more Bruins games in the past 2 years than I did in my entire life. It's been amazing. I do miss NESN. Edwards cracks me up, and it's nice to watch a Bruins game without the Canadian bias that CBC or TSN throw out. Bruins bias is much better...
GO B'S
try living in Pa were all i hear about is the god damn Pens. foxsports pitts is the worst. those guys are the most biased and idiotic announcers in history. if there is a moments peace from them sucking off crosby it must be becuase they are taking a breath so they can be ready to suck on fleury next.
im sick of axelsson on the firsst line.
^^you see?...you see what i did there?^^
Anyone see Neely's handshake with Chiarelli after the win!
LETS GO BRUINS!
I'm a fan from Moncton, New Brunswick!
I think the same way, almost all of the b's games I watched this season up until the playoffs were on NESN. I too prefer listening to commentators who seem to be pro-bruin... but the commentators can't change the result. 4 Games - Goal total B's 17-5. Not bad.
So don't worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the tip
We'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me
i would like to thank the habs for ending their 100 year anniversary tribute season with a sweep from the bruins...and i would also like to thank all the hab fans that demoralized their OWN goalie at home. and i would also LOVE to thank mike komisarek for losing yet another fight to looch....this time in only 2 punches.
WAY TO GO CANADIANS! WAY TO STEP UP YOUR GAME! fucking douche bags
i just drank my weight in beer because beating the canadians in 4 games, in their own house, in the playoffs, may truly be the only thing better then sex
OLAY OLAY OLAY OLAAAAAYYYYYYY FUCKKK YOOOUUUUU, YOUUU SUCKKKKKKK
Where's Et le blu? (or however you spell his damn name)
Won't see him now until pre-season, it'll take him that long to think up a reason that the Habs lost.
Big Bruin cheer from up here in Winnipeg! Way ta go B's!!
rest up for the next round.
vince_m
I LOVE Edwards, hilarious !!!
What a crushing defeat, total domination !!!
HABS SUCK BYE BYE LOOOOOOOOOSERS !!!!!!
Et le blue, et le blue...where are you?
You Bruins fans are morons, clearly that goal by Kessel was the turning point of the game, and it was offside, and the series would have been a completely different story with better officiating and if we didn't have so many injuries. Enjoy this win because its not ever happening again, Boons fans, your team will lose the next series, and your hopes for a cup will down the drain.
Habs forever!
nice win. glad to see axe taken off the first line in the final period. anyone else notice he was the only minus in both the regular season and first round of the playoffs?
Nice to see another Winnipeger on here...Hey Vince !!
Well, nicely done B's...quick and no injuries. Rest and get Ference back (hopefully) and bring on the Rangers and the "Town Idiot" Avery !!
Komisarek...what's left to say ?? Nice cross check to the face after you get 1 punched AGAIN !! His suspension , A LONG AND EARLY SUMMER !!
Et Le Blueballs. Don't you get it? The officiating blew, but there was no preferencial treatment; the Bruins were on the short end a few times too.
And cut the injury crap out, really. No one cares or feels sorry for you. The Bruins were missing their leading goal scorer from last year (Sturm), and two of their best puck moving defensmen in Hunwick and Ference, not to mention were missing Looch on Monday, and a few guys were dinged up coming in.
If you guys had Markov, Lang and Schneider and we had Hunwick, Ference, and Sturm... we'd STILL have smoked you because Carey Price played like garbage.
And another thing. What a bunch of awful fans. You'll wonder why no one resigns next year, and all you have to do is go back to your Tivo of this game and listen to the boos and chants being reigned down on your own team.
Awful fans + awful management = no one wants to play there.
Go BRUINS!!!!
Hope to see Lucic pick up with Avery where he left off with idiot Komojerk. Watching highlights from NY game it looks like Avery is back to his usual idiotic ways. This will not work with the B's we have 10 guys without thinking hard who would pound that jerkoff into the ice. If they meet next round the only guy which is scary is Lunquist or however you spell it. He is a great goalie.
.... or Lundstrom according to Grapes...
Markov
Lang
Bouillon
Schneider
Tanguay
Brisebois
even with Ference Hunwick and Sturm, this would be a completely different series.
Should I mention the offside goal by Kessel again?
lang: ankle injury early in the season...noone's fault.
lang, boullion, schneider, tanguay, brisebois were all victims of gainey's plan to try and out-muscle the bruins. the bruins hit them hard, and they crumpled.
different series? i think not. want to know what would have made a difference? montreal should have played their game (speed, etc) and not tried to crash-and-bang with the bruins. no shot. laracque on the top line? yeah, that paid off!!!
habs fans are the worst. booing the anthems? booing your own goalie? chanting "carey, carey" from a home crowd? idiots. you don't deserve a team. as much as i wanted to celebrate and do cartwheels last night, i couldn't help but feel bad for the habs...your fans suck. the bruins apparently felt bad too; playing the 4th and 3rd lines for the 5 minute powerplay in the third.
also, who is this latendresse? does he want to be carcillo all of a sudden? nice try kid...suddenly brave when the series is practically over, and you know the bruins aren't interested in your nonesense.
the goal was not offside, they showed a super-slow motion replay on cbc...not that it would have mattered anyways...if they disallowed that goal bruins would have still won. go cry about something else.
now go enjoy a poutine and look forward the next celine dion habs season. no more excuses, you got trashed.
i feel bad making fun at the habs, like the way someone feels bad about making fun of retards.
"We have the best fans in the league, but the way they reacted. . ." said Laraque. "Carey's only 21. If you're going to point fingers, point them at our injuries.
Does Laracque think he's still on Pittsburgh? Best fans boo their own team off the ice whenever they lose? That happened all season long...not just in the playoffs. You're all dillusional.
And the Bruins fans are the most dedicated in the world? Not too long ago Bruins fans were making excuses for their team, and how many people defected from the Bruins after the lock out? Habs fans are forever. We boo because we're passionate, and we will always stick with our team, even after we trade Joe Thornton I mean Patrick Roy.
Either way, your B's don't stand a chance in the next round. Do you think that they're going to be able to get any of those easy goals past Lundqvist? Good luck to you and with that I bid adieu.
Vive les Habitants.
Feel bad for the Habs - never - they are and always be shit in my eyes. Only differance is now thier own fans can see it also. The only guy I felt bad for is Metro - he does not belong with sissyass low life dirbags. You could tell he was happy this season is over - i bet his bags where already packed and at the airport before the final buzzer.
hahaha the canadiens were garbage after the all star break. They are now 0-7 in their last 7 games, and couldn't muster more than 6 goals against a team with two defensmen out with injury.
Deal with it the way the rest of the league does, with humility. And for the record, Bruins fans don't go anywhere. There's Boston sports fans who don't follow hockey but jump on the bandwagen, but folks like myself, who've watched, followed, and cheered for the Bruins through every Craig Billington ARE the best fans in the world.
That being said, the Bruins crushed New York in the regular season: I was at that game in full view of that beat down, and ole' lunky couldn't stop them. The Capitals are a team made of flash - speed - finesse. Lunqvist is a great goalie, but he can't stop the onslaught that the Bruins will unleash on the rest of the team. Sorry to say, but one superior player does not a series make.
bruins will pummel either the rangers or the pens/flyers next round...
bruins are 4 lines deep, pitts and flyers are NOT. but it is likely we'll play the rangers...who we'll just beat-up like we did the habs. fragile pussys. avery will be reality checked in that series...like how the b's crushed the stars this year when he was there.
mike modano: "this was the most embarrassing experience of my hockey career"
same story, different teller. rangers defense is weak, and lundqvist will be tough to beat but not unbeatable. their forwards are too slow, we'll outlast them in a 7 game series. bring on carolina in the 3rd round!
et le but is a closet B's fan who doesn't dare go public because his slicked hair eurotrash pals won't let him hang out at the "alternative" coffee shop if he does. If the B's don't stand a chance in the second round et le but, I wonder how the Habz would have done? Nevermind as the Habs just got their assess handed to them, got beat up in the process and ultimately humiliated in front of a nation. Happy 100 years you glorious pack of singing assholes. Go gut your team and get ready to suck for a few more years to come.
On another note:
Poor Metro. I think he still has another year on his contract. See the way he hugged all his B's pals after the SWEEP was complete? It kills him to wear the f**kin sweater and play in that eurotrash henhouse. If there was ever a time to beg for a buyout, this is it.
You said it - We should start a collection so we can buy out Metro's contract so he can get the frick out of that city. Poor bastard.
You know Metro hates all those dumbshit fans (thats you et le blue), and the retarded management. The Flyers really fucked him on that one, but it was good to see the love from the Bruins for Metro.
Et le blue, your silly list of injured players is a non-factor.
Maybe you dont remember the Providence Bruins beating your fully rostered team on Silly Jersey Day. Remember that day you fuckin idiot? You came here bragging our shortened roster would fall to your stupid habs, and you would enjoy the superbowl even more. It was the Bruins fans that were laughing their way through the superbowl!!!! Man, what great day.
You hold on to that "offside" call, and what you should be thinking about, is how much of a bunch of pussies the Bruins made your dirty habs out to be.
Examples? Uhhh...Krejci bounces off a check, overpowers your D, and sets up aand scores a playoff game winning goal no hab has worked that hard for. Why? Well, aside from the fact they suck, the habs dont care...and for that matter, no UFA's want to sign there. Gee, you had a great time getting UFA's this last offseason,...I mean you got Tanguay!!!! Woohooo!!!!! Top talent like that is just begging to play in front of the crowd that boos its team off the ice. Of course, everyone knows the habs tried for like 6 other players first! Ha ha ha.....and to think Savard and Chara signed in Boston in a heartbeat. Sucks to be you.
I also loved how Koivu let Kobasew overpower him for the empty netter in game 3. I mean, what the fuck!? What kind of a captain is that? One who is leaving town?
Et le blue, we have laughed so hard at your demise, your STUPID predictions, at the uninspired play of your team that is likely to lose impact players over the offseason, and suffer another UFA drought.
We have laughed at winning on Patrick Roy night, Silly Jersey day
....and HOLY SHIT...
WE SWEPT YOUR STUPID hABS!!!! (never capitalize "habs"...no respect).
Suicide alert! Suicide alert! Montreal has been on red alert for burning and hanging people running through the streets.
Et le blue, did you go out and "riot" last night? Did you burn a car or building? Fascinating!
I'm not going to start making predictions about the next round. It really doesn't matter. The Bruins took a great season, dominating a lot of teams all year long, went into the playoffs, and destroyed the habs.
Et le But: Excuses don't win championships. You'd think you would know that, after all the habs do have 24 of them. With your pride comes an ignorance that you obviously don't see. It makes you look like an idiot. The Canadiens team that played in the playoffs looked terrible. Having guys out with injuries makes the rest of the team play like garbage? Yeah ok. The Referees? Give me a break - sounds like the excuse of a spoiled fan. Good teams find a way to play through adversity.
It's over. Just like the Lucic one punch on Komisarek. That easy.
Sorry buddy, go cry somewhere else.
I enjoy all of you Boston fans. You make life easier to laugh at... I will say this much, I respect that you are all fans of a team, while they are not a good team, save for the occasional lucky showing now and then... I would probably date one of your sisters. At least that's what your mom told me to tell you when I was doin her on the side.
Fantastic Et le blue.
You got us this time.
on her side? wtf kind of canadian are you? a true canadian does is doggy style so they can BOTH watch the hockey game. i think Mook and the rest of the boys would agree with me that you are for sure festive after that comment.
hahahahaha plus u can rest a beer on her (kinda like a coffee table).
hey i said this years ago, and i'll say it again:
THIS is why we traded Joe Thornton.
invisible in the playoffs...enjoy the offseason in sweden you useless bag of crap!
the trade was ultimately this:
-medium joe thornton to sharks
-sturm, kobasew and ference to the bruins
i think it got so much heat because all the shitty moves that were done around that time by MOC:
zhamnov, fitzgerald, raycrap, etc.
also letting rolston, knuble, nylander and gonchar walk for basically nothing was probably a mistake too.
savard: 5 mil
thornton: 7 mil
you choose...
i know hindsight is 20/20, but f-it...i'm happy.
5.5 million for hamrlik LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
With little to talk about now how about a look at the roster.
B's free agents:
Hnidy, Montador, Axe, Recchi, Yelle, St. Pierre, Fernandez (UFA)
Hunwick, Bitz, Kessel and Krejci(RFA)
Gone for sure:
Fernandez, Recchi, St. Pierre
Possibly back:
Hnidy, Axe, Yelle
Must Sign:
All the RFA but that could be tough.
hopefully bye bye axe!
keeeeeep st pierre!!!!!!!!
i have a confession to make and I hope the rest of the bruins fans forgive me. I just changed my dogs name to komisarek. sorry. oh wait i forgot to add i had him neutered and figured the no balls thing matched so many habs but komisarek in particular. lol
hmmmm maybe should have called him et le bleu
I like St. Pierre too but not over 4th line guys like Bitz and Sobotka.
how much woud st pierre even cost? how much does sobotka cost? their both on 2 way contracts and the only way they would cause trouble is if they only would stand for a one way contract.
No updates since the 2nd game WTF!!!
Matt... Pekese?... where are you?
Ask Latrappe back... PLEASE!!!!
yeah i don't usually complain about the lack of posts..but c'mon...we just swept the habs!
I have to agree fellas, a sweeping of the dirty dirty habs warrants a new post....the Bruins just won their first playoff series in 10 years!!!!
Sorry guys, I was on a mini vacation. Back now, but this week may be slow with the Bruins (like most of us) sitting around waiting.
