Boston Cream Puffs!
 

Wow I've never seen a team be so undisciplined and immature because your losing! Wow just wow! can someone, anyone explain this behavior????

Simple...frustration.

This team is way to young to understand about being targeted as Stanley Cup champions.

By the way...you spelled cream wrong.

I, probably like you, have watched the entire game and the Canes were only up 2-0 and were not overwhelming the Bruins. I just don't understand how your entire team sacrifices the game because of a 2-0 score. I dunno Its just hard to believe

Game over!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets go canes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually been the whole Bruins season so far. They have gotten NO breaks so far and the officiating has not gone their way in any game.

But those are just excuses. The main thing is that this team is way to young to understand how to play like the Champions that they are.

I personally have never seen a team blow so many 5 on 3 advantages in a game.

Skinner skates into Chara's stick and Chara gets a high stick, refs really need to revisit the rulebook here.

We just converted on back to back 5 on 3s so I guess they balanced out. I understand what Chara was doing earlier, picking a fight with Cam, he was trying to light a fire under his team, Fine. Now they just looked like the bully who got their teeth knocked out. Sorry not trying to be a prick but I'm just glad they got what they deserved in the end.

Actually Chara was stepping in when Harrison wanted to fight Horton. I'm pretty sure Horton hasn't been cleared to drop the gloves after his concussion albeit he finally had enough of Gleason. Chara getting an instigator was ridiculous....but instigator penalties usually are.

Anyway, Carolina played well and won. Just another early season W though against the #2 goalie and Chara off the ice for 19 minutes. Still goes in the W common though.

LOL...actually you are...otherwise this thread wouldn't exist. :)!

It's all good in the 'hood though. As Boston fans we have thick skin as every time one of our Champions gets beat it's Christmas in July for the fans of the other team...

Bruins are still on their Stanley Cup hangover. Plus Carolina is looking better with each passing game. Let's go Canes!!

Honestly I like the Bruins, but I only started this thread was because I've never seen a entire team lose control in a 2-0 game, especially a defending Stanley Cup Champ. Also this isn't the first time we have handled the Bruins, we beat them last week and just a couple years ago we knocked you guys out of the playoffs when Boston had the best record in the NHL, in game 7, in Boston and no thread was started then :)!

Ehh....you must not watch much hockey. I have seen far worse stuff.

Like I said...the Bruins are just downright frustrated. It all boiled over tonight. Hopefully this will light their fire and get them off of their asses...

Oh yeah there is always a worse case but what happened tonight was not a common thing in the NHL and I was just a little peeved that my guys were getting bullied around because we had the discipline to understand that the two points is more important than getting pissy and trying to instigate fights. All in all good game and the Bruins will eventually get on track while my guys will get better every night.

I was at the game last night and it was just brutal to watch. The Bruins never really used their heads. Chara was asked what Cam Ward said that ticked him off and Chara said he couldn't really hear him. Which was obvious from watching. So why get in his face? That reignited the whole situation and was probably what got him the 10 min misconduct. That brought Tuukka out of the crease and got him his two mins. Chara has got to think more than that. We can't have him sit out almost an entire period because of pure stupidity.

I do think the pim's should have been a little bit closer. The 'Canes did a could job of instigating and getting away with it. Hat's off to them, they deserved the w.

Chara and Marchand, 19 and 12 PIM.

I'm trying to figure out why Boston got so dirty all of a sudden. Sure they were down 2-0, and the skinner call could have gone either way, but I don't think they improved their reputation last night. Gleason is a big bruiser, and if he actually fought Horton it wouldv'e been close. But the fact that Horton kept trying to slam gleason's head into the ice after he didn't even drop the gloves in the first place is uncalled for. I was actually surprised at his calm manner after the fight. I'm also glad he didn't get up and bust the #%$@ out of Horton (which he couldve) because that would have been 1 less 5 on 3 we would capitalize on.

Bottom line, i'm happy the Canes got their heads out of their butts and started shooting the puck and not taking stupid penalties to loose the game (like we did the first few of the season).

Boston is a good team as they proved last year, but Rask definitely wasn't on top of his game last night. Boston had 72 PIM in total last night, crazy!!!

I think Boston, especially Lucic and Horton (who have started off the season downright awful) have literally no idea what to do to right the ship. They were so frustrated and so when they got down early they just snapped and tried to fight (literally) their way back into the game. The only fight that I thought was beneficial was Chris Kelly's. The rest were unnecessary. Horton today came out and said he regrets getting into it with gleason last night and wishes he could take it back. Lucic admitted he wasn't prepared mentally for the season. It's nice that these two guys especially took responsibility for themselves, hopefully they can bounce back.

Boston had their moment in the sun now it's time to sit back and watch Pens destroy the Eastern Conference for the next 10 years.

I thought this thread was going to be about pastry. Disappointing...

The Boston pastries put up another one in the L column tonight. They're up to a roaring 6 points.

That should have been a dynasty in the making, but something is missing with Pittsburgh. I can't put a finger on it either.

By the sounds of that you would think that Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Staal and Neal are all approaching 30 years old. The Dynasty is just getting started, don't you worry. 2 of their best defensman in the organization aren't even up with the big club. :flex:

Crosby's good but hes not as good as gr[B][I][U]8[/U][/I][/B]

[QUOTE=camroy14;1810120]Crosby's good but hes not as good as gr[B][I][U]8[/U][/I][/B][/QUOTE]

But neither of them are close to Phil Kessel!! 10 goals in 10 games, along with 8 assists! I smell MVP!!!!!

[QUOTE=KaraandMelliesDaddy;1802146]That should have been a dynasty in the making, but something is missing with Pittsburgh. I can't put a finger on it either.[/QUOTE]

I can: chemistry. Pittsburgh needs their 3 best forwards ( crosby, malkin, staal) to lead the team, yet they only played 2 games together last year, which is the main reason they didn't go far in the playoffs. Once Crosby and staal get healthy and if they can stay healthy, we'll see the dynasty we've been waiting for. Their defense also hasn't been as strong since they lost gonchar. They still have a dynasty-worthy team, but only if the big three can stay healthy.
