I won't lie.

The Bruins are sneaky bastards and love giving plenty of cheapshots.

I'm learning to hate Debrusk more and more.

I hate them all anyway, except Bergeron. He's cool.

Funny DeBrusk fact for you.

Chara fought his father in an NHL game

- RickJames77

Really? That's kinda awesome.

Didn't know his dad played in the NHL.

The Leafs have more skill and talent than the Bruins at the top end. Give me 8 players that play "Bruins Hockey" and "Playoff Hockey" and i'll be a happy camper.

There's no need for Marleau, Brown, Moore Gauthier, Johnsson, Dermott, Zaitsev, Gardiner and maybe Nylander in the playoffs.
- walshyleafsfan

nothing wrong with Brown, Marleau, Gauthier Dermott Zaitsev - and Gardiner (in a protected role).
I agree Johnsson and Nylander look out of place - Johnsson because he's played too high up in the lineup (he's a 3rd/4th liner) and Nylander because he's afraid to get hit.

I cant stand deb!tch, but he did his job and was effective.

The stick is far worse. More force, and it's more concentrated.

You don't need to be a doctor to know that.

Based on what?
His play in college?
No.

Let him play a pro game.

a cross check vs a fight where you punch someone in the head multiple times

Indeed. Looks like a very good playoffs guy for the Bruins.

Hi.

From memory, not that DoPS uses any standards or precedent but I wonder how Kadris holds up to these:

Non-Repeat Offender.
https://www.cbc.ca/sports...k-on-j-t-miller-1.3020096
4 Reg Season Games

Repeat Offender.
https://nhl.nbcsports.com...face-gets-fined-5k-video/
$5k Fine

History.
https://www.nhl.com/video...es/t-277440360/c-55038903
4 Reg Season Games

Buff and Landeskog, IMO, are worse than Kadri because it was a direct shot to the head (no riding up the shoulder). I still think Kadri will get and deserves 5 but it's nuts in the context of these (if it's accepted that playoff games are 2:1).

Also, is there not going to be a hearing for Jumbo? Wtf?

Lol jesus.

I wonder how many fights actually land 5 direct hits?
Let alone 20.

Morning skate:

Brown moves up to third line and Ennis is in

No.

How dare you sully the name of a member of the THIRD Hockey East All-Star Team! THIRD!!!!!!

- senstroll

If multiple punches are landed.
Fights rarely go toe to toe...mostly wrestling and hugging

No.

I'm a goalie expert.
Vasilevskiy, Bobrovskiy, Holtby and Lehner (as a good NHL starter vs the bad goalie people called him last years) - I all called them as good/great goalies very early in their careers.
Woll will be a superb starter for the Leafs.

kadri has is too much of his own history.

4 games for that one. he's probably getting 8.

Almost none.

[Johnston] William Nylander moves to centre in advance of Nazem Kadri's suspension. He's between Marleau and Brown. Tyler Ennis draws in on th fourth line.

I'm ok with that. Moore and Brown have both earned the chance to step up the lineup with their play so far.

That line is going to have a tough time if the refs bring the NHL Rule Brochure instead of the Rule Book again though...

I kind of agree, but it still isn't a good defense. He should be able to handle his emotions like an adult.

And I'm not insinuating you think it is a good defense, just speaking in general terms.
- RickJames77

What's the weather like today in Boston?

Happy Patriots' Day.

During last game CBC had an advert for a podcast " get inside Kadri"s head " ....lol

Sounded like Landeskog did too though...

Since the Hyman suspension I believe Parros has it out for the Leafs and the outcome of this will further cement my conspiracy theory.


(My non-conspiracy theory: the league firmly has star players' cocks in their mouths. Proof: Kuch and the probable fine for Jumbo)
