Johnny_rudeboy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I thought we should keep your Team Thread though I did some modifications to match the other Team Topics. I have taken one of your ideas and added the Captain and Coach as well to the other Team topics this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innis_Mor Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You can't rely on this team for anything. They get up 2-0 on the Sabres last night (good for the Habs!), but then they squander it, but not before getting themselves a point in regulation, making it a 3-point game. Chara and Savard both fanned on the their shoot-out shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koreysecord1992 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Really getting outplayed by the LEAFS tonight...so far they've blown a quick 2-0 lead to go down 3-2 halfway through the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucic doesn't mind fighting (and giving himself a "headstart", to boot) when it suits him. See his mini-jump on Boynton. Laraque always asks his counter-party to say "go".

I don't like the guy either but he did the right thing. Komisarek doesn't taunt his opponents. Any player who skates by the other team's bench, 'wooohooo-ing' after winning a fight should be ready to pay the price. You gotta walk the talk, sorry. It might have been the right thing not to fight Laraque in order to avoid getting a beating, but considering the circumstances it remains a cowardly act in my books. I got no respect for such kind of behavior, regardless of who the player is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got no respect for such kind of behavior, regardless of who the player is. Correct. And just as Laraque feels. Problem with Laraque is, he is busy giving Lucic a "lecture". Guys like Lucic don't mind (private) lectures -- as long as they avoid getting whupped. Laraque has got to start earning his $1.5MM -- and that's in the ring, laying on whuppings, not sitting in the jaccuzzi tub in the physio's room. Otherwise, IMO, Laraque should quit, free up some of BG's cap room, and go "lecture" at McGill or UdeM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some words of wisdom won't do it, just get under their skin differently. That's his job after all. He's got the reputation, which is why people seem to be a little afraid to fight him. This can't be an excuse though, he's gotta find ways to make the opponent pay and, ultimately, to earn his salary. But we're getting a little off-topic here I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucic is a good player AND an agitator. I have read sports reports that say that it was a foolish waste of time and energy (and Patrick Roy deserved better on his night) to have Laraque try to engage Lucic. Did it work?

Tao_mtl Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Wow the bruins sure have a nice team this year, very solid all around. About Lucic and Laraque, if you remember the first game we played against the bruins, Lucic was just dominating. The habs looked soft and scared because of him. And the Bruins just owned us that night. The point of sending Laraque was to intimidate him and send a message to Julien and the bruins. IMO it worked because Lucic didnt produce the same effect that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it worked because Lucic didnt produce the same effect that game. Lucic may not have looked the same (9 hits, 1 goal) but he got us off our game. The funny thing is, we think by playing a 4th line goon on our first line we were getting them off their game, but who's to say that line doesn't score with a capable offensive player on it and win us the game? I just don't like it. Sure, what Lucic did was unclassy, but watch the last 10 seconds of this video, I don't see why Georges is calling it "classless".

I just don't like it. Sure, what Lucic did was unclassy, but watch the last 10 seconds of this video, I don't see why Georges is calling it "classless". I disagree. We had to do something against Lucic after the beating we got from him and the Bruins, especially on home ice. Lucic was - despite of the goal he scored while Laraque wasn't on the ice - a non-factor in that game. We did in fact get him off his game and we had to send a message to the Bruins aftter they physically dominated us the game before. Taunt us again and you will have to pay the bill, easy as that. I can understand that Lucic 'chickened' out but it was still the right thing to do by Carbo and Laraque in my eyes. Granted, the Bruins won that game in a shootout but they actually had no business winning it at all, just like they had no business winning against Detroit the other night. But that's what happens when you're on a winning streak, things fall in place, and you get a few bounces and breaks. About the 'classless' argument, I won't go there since I don't know which game that scene is actually taken from, i.e. for me it's an isolated event. What if the other team did something similar to the Oilers before? What I'm saying is, I don't know the context of that fight and thus I'm not going to draw conclusions and judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koreysecord1992 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 And another win for the Bruins and more goals for Kessel and Ryder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 This team is solid down the middle: Savard (31 yrs old) - 34 pts Krejci (22 yrs old) - 29 pts Bergeron (23 yrs old) - 17 pts Then you add Kessel (who is 21 yrs old with 31 pts, 19 of those goals for 3rd in the NHL) who is a natural centre but I believe is playing on the wing Face off winning percentage: Bergeron - 57.1% (7th in the NHL) Savard - 50.3% Krejci - 49.3% Kessel - 53.3% Some notes on the team: Boston is 17-2-1 since Oct. 25, and has outscored the opposition 72-35. The Bruins have won 10-straight games at TD Banknorth Garden for the first time. Manny Fernandez has won seven straight games. Phil Kessel has 10 goals and 6 assists during his 12-game scoring streak. Boston is first in the League with 55 goals allowed.
