Gordie Howe must be rolling in his grave over his redwings not being a mans hockey team anymore. 8 fighting majors this whole year for the TEAM. pathetic. its a whole team of sidney crosby's
dont mind if the b's lose a physical battle against a tough team....but to get destroyed by a team 2 times in 3 days that doesnt understand the concept of dropping the gloves...ggggrrrrr
And while I believe you need physical players on your team, you don't have to fight to do it. We're not the Anaheim Ducks of 2009, where they had goons specifically to pick fights and take guys off their game. The NHL nowadays is based on skill, and the best teams in the NHL win because of their skill players, not because of players picking fights. The Wings have never really been a team that picks a fight in the near two decades they've been atop the NHL. We can be a clean, physical team and win games without getting fighting majors.
i think i was just pissed because i thought the B's were one of the better teams in the league and got a dose of reality. last time the B's won the cup 1972. i was born in 73. i would love to see the cup hoisted in boston in my lifetime
you have no idea the frustrations of a bruins fan. We had to trade Bourque to the Avs just to get his name on the cup. Ownership gets the team good enough to maybe make it a few rounds in the playoffs, but never to win the cup
i think getting rid of Thornton was a good move...mr choke in the playoffs....
Bruins have all the elements to be a great team, but not to the elite level. If the B's play the Flyers in the playoffs again, expect a repeat of last year

Gordie Howe hat trick = goal + assist + fight
Red Wings got far away from that tree
