Great to see the Bruins go down. They act like the bully at the end of the street that is bigger than everyone in the neighborhood. They prey on the smaller players - sucker punch when the ref isn't looking or the linesman has a player tied up. Now that bully got a punch in the nose and will go home screaming to their mommy.

I'm not a fan of either team but I really respect the Bruins and how they play(played) playoff hockey. I'd much rather watch the B's make a long run than the Cap's or, say, the Devils.

That said, this is a really intrigueing, interesting and refreshing playoffs to watch; especially out West.

Would have been nice if both teams could lose in the NJ/FLA series. Even as a Penguins fan I would much rather watch the Flyers move on and play. I watch hockey to be entertained.

Agreed. I'm just not a Devils fan and I think the Cat's have gotten some tremendous bounces and have ridden a SICK powerplay.

I'm digging on watching the Pred's and the Blues myself.

IMO as a Gretzky fan, I'd rather build around Stevie Y or Messier over Orr or Gretzky.

And yes I know that wasn't the qustion.

Too bad the Caps and Bruins don't have bloggers of their own.

Well, if you cant build around the "best player of all time" who can you build around? Either that or Gretzky is not the best player of all time.

Could not agree more! Win it for this guy.......

As a kid Trottier was the ONE guy that I had the ultimate love/hate relationship with/for. I loved his overall game but he was a Sabre killer.

Would have sold my right nut to have him as a Sabre.

I'd take Messier over Gretzky when building a team.


Messier's leadership abilities were miles better than Gretzky's.


He also won 2 cups on his own, while Gretzky won none.

I think Messier brought a LOT more to the table. Not doubting Gretky's talent but I don't know if they could have won Cup's with just Gretzky and no Messier.

Messier all day long if I'm GM.

He has one already and a Conn Smyth to boot.

What the hell is everyone doing in a Bruins blog ?

Oh wait ...nevermind

One of only 3 players currently to win the Calder, Art Ross, Conn Smythe and Hart trophy. (Lemieux, Orr, with Malkin most likely being the latest one added to the list later this year).

That's Crazy talk.

Is it though?



Gretzky needed Messier more than Messier needed Gretzky.

All I'm saying is that he can't be considered the best of all time under those parameters.

The irony is Messier is 4th on the oilers in career goals, behind anderson and kurri

everything lined up perfect for that team but it fell apart as quick as it was built.

Coffey held out for more money
Moog held out for money/playing time
Gretzky was not handled properly

They could have easily won another 5 if they had a better relationship with their players

The NHL kind of skrewed Gretzky on that one.

I know, he should be on that list, but on a technicality he is not. Still goes to show what kind of company Trottier is keeping.
