I need steel toed protection any time I go onto the production floor.

Wouldn't they get a cap break regardless if he were to actually retire? Something I am not certain about...
- CaptainBlackhawk

No, they'd get a cap penalty.

you and your stupid thick ass pizza!!!

HA!!!

We eat that stuff about as much as you eat baked beans everyday.

Lots to read here - Don't know if anybody else already made this point. I think the ice conditions definitely contributed to the Bruins advantage last night. The B's style of play isn't affected nearly as much by the inability to get the puck to lie flat and slide true.
- Der Kaiser

Good point. That ice was horrible.

Ok....then I'm happy.

Anthem complaining is a hoot. This guy does it that way, that guy does it this way...bla bla bla...

If this nation REALLY reveres its freedom (we don't really, we just like to talk about it) then respect all interpretations of the national anthem (well, except that one by Rosseanne Barr) that are performed honestly should be a model we follow and shouldn't denigrate into someone's self-appointed interpretation of 'the right way' to do it.

Yes, I LOVE the way Chicago does it, I think it's the best, but do NOT care how other singers/cities do it. It's their call.

The one in LA for Game 4 was pretty awful. Davis Gaines, I think? Just awful.

i read that in a Chicago accent.

no worries man

It's the thing that makes this country so fantastic - you guys love Rancourt and his anthem. I thought he was downright horrible. You guys love him.

Your fan base grew up on him, your children now listen to him.. love that!

Best anthem was in 2009 Game 3 in Ottawa vs. Pitt. They had a guy dressed as a Roman Senator who was supposed to do a whole spiel and then sing. Audio and wardrobe problems abound. It was amazing.

funny i've always pronounced my Rs.

i do, however not live in Mass.

Grew up right outside the city, the accent was unavoidable. I was able to suppress it for a few years when I worked for Big Blue but I haven't done any customer facing in years. Today I'll be hosting call with reps from Saskatoon and Sydney Australia. Accents flying everywhere

Wow Julia! I love how salty you've become over this?! It's great! Tell me more about how you're not insulted but are really on fire(and I don't mean what you do in Chicago back alleys on the weekends).

Your parents must be proud of that tongue of yours. I'm sure its helped you accomplish great things in life, hasn't it?

You should be on HBO or something. really.

Can anybody why Seabrook didn't drop to a knee on the cross crease pass on the 5-3. Every team in the freaking the league tries that pass on the 5 on 3, and the Hawks are 100% coached to do it because Hammer and Duncs do it every single time, but Seabrook decided not to and gave Bergeron a freaking layup. Thats just a play you need to make harder on the Bruins

Gotta cross check Lucic instead.

I vaguely remember that. There's got to be some footage on Youtube or the like. Will need to look it up.

I didn't hear that one, but to me it's just a song...people act like the fabric of America is unraveling when someone misses the high note in the next to last measure.

Can I get number to the bridge? I'd love to listen in.

as if the game wasn't bad enough, reading this blog and the comments section makes it worse.

the bi-polar nature of this whole thing. hawks win (we ARE physical enough!) hawks lose in OT (we will NEVER WIN with this lineup!) is just nuts.

the powerplay is awful.

you have your best center centering the fourth line last night.

you have Handzus out there losing every draw and then skating around with a piano on his back.

but yeah, throw blame at Stalberg and think about throwing Carcillo out there. right on, man. that'll do it.

at no point do i see anybody giving any bit of credit that maybe, just maybe we are playing a really really reallllllllly good team. i'm sorry, but Kane was having trouble skating with Handzus on his back against a beat up Kings team, why do we think he's gonna have a better go of it against a healthy Bruins squad?

i asked this question last night on twitter: if Q really thought Bollig was good enough to play in Game One and Two (with all those "meaningful hits" that JJ loves!) then why wasn't he in the lineup yesterday after Hossa was scratched?
so all of the sudden a guy off the bench who hasnt played in two months is a better option?

wtf Q. wtf blackhawks.

THANKFULLY this will all be easier next year after we trade Kane and Crawford for Chris Neil in the offseason.
- dr_boloney

Best post in a month .....by a mile

WTF is right

It's 2-1 not 3-0
Pens just got swept
Bruins are very good
However they were dead in the water against the Leafs and only a once in 20 year miracle saved them...fact
Julien gets fired after that game without the miracle on ice but now he's a coaching genius WTf

Also had the disallowed goal been a goal Hawks are probably up 2-0...fact

Bruins score 5 on 3 and Bickell rings one of the post last night
Yes the PP sucks
The Pens scored 2 goals in 4 games
The Kings PP sucks everyone's PP sucks

As bad as the Hawks appear to be we lose Hossa in the warmup and they are pounding Toews every chance they get
It's called the playoffs
the Bruins are very good team but it can turn
Around in game 4 because winning and losing is a fine line.

I suppose you're classy. That's why you're in a internet chat forum, right?

As stupid as some of these insults get, I'd still rather deal with the Bruins and their fans than most of the Nuck fans. Talk about #$@^&@&

do you even watch hockey? Get a clue the window doesn't close on a team just cuz you say it does. New coach, New power play, New systems.you might want the window closed but it's not.

who cares if J Toes plays hard? The guy is paid to produce and he has one goal.the Sedins would be run out of town if they did that, one goal .but they don't and didn't.fact is the #canucks are still in the mix and will prove it again next season. One of most successful team last 10 years consistently in the playoffs unlike your local team.the leafs.you have to be in the show to have a chance to win.
- kaptaan

Still in fantasy land? The Canucks have to play in a real division next year and they have consistently lost in the PO the last 10 years. The window has not closed but will probably slam shut next year or the following.

Gillis is delusional and is despised too widely to bring back any real returns in trade. Torts the answer? LOL.

Now go back to Ian's thread and discuss Gillis getting the number 1 pick for Raymond and a bag of pucks.
