Bruins Rumors and News 
LETS GOOO
Man what the hell is the offense waiting for??? PLAY! atleast try to score..
what the fuck is wrong with lucic…drop your gloves
Bad period……….Better make up for it in the second!!! Lots of hockey yet!!
drop the gloves??? they’re down 1-0 why take a major, its the playoffs, wrong time to become macho
The B’s are not skating….too much standing around. Hunwick looks brutal so far…..Lots of time !
the ice looks slow and choppy
What the hell is this bullshit with the bruins getting outhit and out played???
when that douche steve montador has already dropped his and calling you out, i think a couple extra minutes for a power forward who isnt scoring would be ok…did you not see that
buffalo would take that matching penalty anyday…come on man, montador is no where near as necessary as lucic.
MY BOY
Let’s give vanek a few more odd man rushes eh? GOD DAM stop plying with fire
how tight are the nets in buffalo?? that shot by rivet didn’t even move the net and fired back as hard as the shot was
Il be surprised if they can pull this one off.. Hope I’m wrong though..
who says wideman cant jump
jack edwards peed himself with that joke
thats some great rationale BB, good job
they’re playing hard hit two posts, and theyre powerplay looks the best it has since savy went down.
…i like where theyre at
If they don’t fire Jack Edwards after this year I’ll be ripshit.
refs ruined a good game
fuck. my. shit.
drinking until i black out. see you guys tomorrow
2 penalties in last 6 mins. tough to get any momentum
Tough game. Shitty refs, hometown calls. I like the way everyone played. I think we can come back Saturday and win.
that wideman penalty was so delayed that i am convinced that ref figured that it was in buffalo so he should call it….he was looking right at it and then raised his arm when roy was getting up.
Can someone explain to me how Patrick Kaleta goes off free after boarding Blake Wheeler, while Chara gets called on a similar play for boarding? In the 2nd period Kaleta blatantly trips Adam McQuaid, knocking him on his ass with no call, but Wideman gets 2 for that “trip” in the 3rd?
Call penalties all game for all I care, but some consistency would be nice. Brutal refereeing.
Awful reffing as per usual. What a joke. Yeah the trip was as clear as day too. THe refs seem to have it in for the B’s this year.
Besides some horrible calls i felt we played through them and outplayed the gaybres the last two periods….As mad as i normally get i feel a sense of peace after that loss like we will be ok!!!
We own the gaybres and showed it again tonight…they had two chances to be honest and we made to mistakes…we will be ok and i guarantee a bruins win game 2!~
made two* mistakes
It’s pretty sweet to see that Tuuk didn’t let the pressure get to him (not like I expected it to). I was watching all of his interviews before the game and everyone kept going on about how much pressure was on him going up against Miller. To let in a goal very early in his playoff debut and keep it cool is pretty damn impressive for a rook.
Good overall energy from the team after the BS call on Chara and the ensuing scrum. Miller is awesome but we were getting pretty unlucky with our opportunities.
Oh, and someone has to take Kaleta out of the series. He’s a pain in the ass cheapshot artist that will end up injuring one of our guys if we don’t take him out first.
AWFUL REFFING! Jesus christ….
I dont mind when Reffs calll everything or call nothing as long as its one or the other… I guarentee you all that if the B’s had started that scrum after the hit on wheeler(if the Refs actually gave a penalty to BUFF) That the B’s wouldve been down like 5-3 because that…
But no BUFF pussies do it and the refs give a no-man misconduct penalty to keep thier man advantage BS ALARM WEEEWOOOWEEEWOOOO!!!! Sabres Cock up there ass and montreal jersey’s on under the reffing equipment last night..
Going to play pick up hockey PISSED today!
BTW
The B’s Looked really good Particularly the
Sturm Krejci Satan
Lucic Sobs Ryde
Lines They need to win game #2 because this series is only going to be won by the B’s if they steal a game or 2 in BUFFALO lets go b’s on saturday!!
AM640 sports said the NHL will be talking to the refs before Saturday’s game.
Apparently both the Sabres and the Bruins made complaints about the officiating…
(you have to admit, the bruins got away with some stuff too, not to mention the complete loss of control of the game).
yea, agreed. i think the b’s got away with some stuff as well. when the officiating is that questionable its tough to lose a game 2-1.
that whole issue with chara in the 1st was redic! imagine if he scored on that wrister? oh man…
i think the team looked good though. i wasnt that upset with the loss. i think ryder looked better and showed little glipses that he might be out of his funk.
satan looked good too.
if there was anyone to blame for that one its ryan miller hahah
I didnt see Millar make 1 great save the whole game!!! Rask made the more dificult saves and stole the show if u ask me! Miller didnt do Fuck all! Ya we outshot them but dont kid yourself 95% of those shots were not great scoring chances! Buffalo’s defence is GREAT!!! Thats why you never see us with breakaways,2 on 1’s or 3 on 2’s cuz thier VERY disiplind team!! Need to get traffic in front of him and have good board play cuz Buffalo does not give up any odd man rushes, Thats just the way it is!!
we beat miller 3 times last game…just were a few fractions of an inch away off the post.
don’t worry…if my gut is right, bruins will STOMP the sabres on saturday, then i’m going to get jumped in the parkinglot.
were gunna get em next game 3-1 win
lucic,bergeron and ryder will score for us
it might have been a mistake starting rask a little too much pressure i might give thomas the nod next game just to get tuukka hungry for a start
also i think wheeler should be scratched and trent whitfeild takes his place
if only the injuries werent always plaguing boston we might have had a legit shot at the cup this year that and if we could score some goals
my prediction bruins lose to buffalo in 7 games
absolutely fucking not dude its the playoffs!!! it’s not the time to get guys hungry on the bench, if the bruins go down 2-0 this series is pretty much over, they aren’t exactly a power house at home
ya, great idea. sit the #1 goalie in the league to make him “hungry”. and then predict a sabres win. worst post ever. go away.
ugh, im not done. maybe its bc I’m a goalie myself, but comments like that piss me off. WE SCORED 1 GOAL. Not going to win many games scoring 1 goal. Last night was the same story its been all year. Solid D and tending, no offence. Plus a few brutal calls. Seriously, no more posts from you.
Wow how bout not??
Like looch said sit the Best Goalie coming off a 94% SV and 2GA game?? seriously?
Then you predict Buffalo winnig in seven…. IF it wasnt for some questionable reffing/3 Posts that game coulda been easily Bos 4,5 Buf 2 so expect to see rask in net on saturday.
Wheeler looked ok he ran into Miller once the only bruint to do so. Is going to come easier for the bruins tomoro Im going to say Bos 4 buff 2 tomorrow
lol wow
did tuukka make a mistake or something?
apparently to bruins4life13, he wants to put in thomas because he will be able to handle the pressure?? More so than tuukka.
I say B’s 3-2 tomorrow ! If not….they are done in 5 !
They have to be physical right away, I thought they took the first period off in game 1. A few bounces and a few calls….could have been a different game.
Look for Ryder to FINALLY do something !
If San Jose chokes again maybe the Thornton experiment will be over. We should put together something for him, maybe something like:
Sturm, Ference, Weller, Fallstrom and a 2nd in 2011
No….better “superstars” then him !
if there is one guy who shouldn’t be allowed to talk about the bruins, it’s gary tanguay…im listening to him on sports tonight right now and u would of thought they lost 5-1…i wish he would just keep doing his celtics pre-game show and wearing his big 3 pj’s at night, and stop acting like he knows anything about sports
Game 2:
Rask in net: Close game either way.
Thomas in net: 5-1 Sabres.
I love Tim Thomas don’t get me wrong, but he’s fighting the puck way too much this season to throw him into the playoffs 1 game in.
Rask made 30 saves also. The first goal was an absolute sniper’s goal, and the second he was screened. He played a good game. Definitely enough to give the Bruins a chance to win.
kind of hypocritical pen’s fans eh? They are booing sutton for a clean head on hit…haha
leopold should of kept his head up, like pen’s fans said about savard
Yea let’s see how they like it! And it’s not even dirty or on their top player!
FUCK 1PM GAMES. People do work on the weekends you know!
See you in buffalo! i’ll be sitting 1st row in the upper deck right behind tuukka.
I’ll be sitting 1st row in my Dad’s basement. You’ll probably hear me screaming from there.
My god did they talk about anything but Ryan miller this pregame show?! I understand he’s good but let it go! There’s two full teams to talk about
WHY THE FUCK DOES TYLER MYERS ALWAYS HAVE LIKE 15 ft OF OPEN SPACE TO SHOOT?!
hey begin decided to finally screen a goalie…too bad it was tuukka, and the buffalo fans should give up the tuukka chant, it lasts for about 10 seconds
Who are these bums these arent te bruins! Bruins don’t get outplayed, outhit and not respond back at all
how many times does chara want to get burnt this period?
ugh, refs are determined to decide this series, just let em play
Yea there you go let myers just casually
skate into the goal on tuukka!! What the fuck!!! FLATTEN HIS FUCKING ASS! Don’t let him just do whatever he wants anymore
series is over my friends…
why bother calling yourself a fan?
relax guy, sorry if i offended you, read this fuckin board right up until they took the lead.
If they’re gonna lose atleast kick their ass! Don’t just sit back and take their hits and goals.. Bullshit
one down, 21 to go
chara needs to stop being a bitch and take that cage off
The way everythings going just makes me pissed off to be a fan on this team.. If someone doesn’t flatten Tyler myers Il be pissed, this kids just gettig space and time to do whatever he wants
This offense is a fucking joke…
bruins should sign goldberg and put him in net, and then have him shoot knucklepucks from the blue line
Brutal effort in a must win game ! Were Chara and Lucic out drinking all night ???
Fucking joke…..same story, no intensity ! Rask awful secong goal. They don’t even make Miller do anything….every fucking shot at his chest !!
This team pisses me off ! I know we can’t score but, PLAY WITH SOME FUCKING BALLS AND HIT SOMEONE !
i wish they were a little better at home this year, then i wouldn’t be so worried, but they were better on the road this year and look how they’re playing
someone should tell these retards that its the playoffs and not fucking pre-season. sturm is a waste of space, that whole line is the shits. whatta joke
If a sabre doesn’t get knocked out this game il be disappointe (knocked out from a fight or hit not an injury)
We knocked Vanek out.
PLEASE GET RID OF WIDEMAN!!! PLEASE PC!! I WOULD ACCEPT A USED MAXI PAD FOR THIS GUY!
Turnover-prone, can’t make an outlet pass – or tape-to-tape, for that matter, couldn’t put the puck on net if it were spread across the entire goal line!
GET HIM THE FUCK OFF THIS TEAM! I WANT TO VOMIT WATCHING HIM!!!
Dude wideman played an ok game not terrible at all wtf are you saying?
did you watch him on the power play where he turned it over like 5 times. beside that though he played below average which is good for him.
OK? Fucking OK?! We pay this guy to be a no. 2 D and you act as if “OK” is good enough in a must-win game?
What the fuck are YOU talking about?!
Well this turned into a hell of a game! Thanks for waking up bruins!
Hey guys: ryder is alive? And hitting?
HUGE !!! CHARA showed up in the 3rd !
If you scroll back I said B’s 3-2 and RYDER would finally do something !
Vanek getting hurt and B’s coming home…me likey !!!
Reading this board id think the B’s lost huge win
Ryder+CHara+Recchi all playing like beasts
BEgin and thornton also decided toshow up. Cant wait till they come to boston huge game 3 B’s are winning this series!
On TSN all Buffalo fans crying about Boychuk on Vanek ! Calling for suspension for slash ! What a bunch of crybaby pussy’s !
vanek fell on his own LOL
he did get slashed, but nothing that should result in a suspension….wouldn’t put it past the nhl though.
if myers hit on boychuk was called a clean hit then this shouldn’t be anything
time to get hammered and hibernate till monday night
p.s. really like mike emrick as an announcer makes the game really exciting
dude….yes
Gentlemen – HUGE win. They showed the passion and determination necessary to come back. Let’s just hope that we don’t play at home like we did for the most part during the regular season.
The need to come out with the same passion in Game 3. It isn’t a “must-win” like today was. However, if they come out guns blazing, the crowd gets behind them, and they end up winning, ALL of the pressure is on BUF, who do not want to go back home down 3-1…
Gritty, impressive effort in the 3rd boys!
good game B’s,man Chara was on his game today,that Boychuk guy is actually not bad,shoulda cald him up earlier, Woohoo Bergy n Rask n the rest o the gang…even ryder.
3 players who were HUGE today:
Johnny Boychuk: Solid everywhere, and actually tries to hit whenever he has a chance.
Daniel Paille: Nothing fancy, but great game using his speed to create space and time.
Zdeno Chara: Rebounded from the mistakes earlier and carried the team. He’s the captain for a reason.
ryder??
GREAT GAME to be at! Right up until i got pelted with beers…
beers mook?!?! fuck’n sabre fans. i was gettin chirped hard all day. got pelted with 50/50 tix in the back of the head after the game. haha. it felt good to walk out of there, head held high
after the 4th goal, me and a bunch of other bruins fans started a “miiiiilllllleeeerrrr” chant…an old lady threw a beer at us! hahaha fack.
man Luc is lookin spetty sloppy n slow,he has to step it up,way up.to much dingle dangle for krejci,andi dunno whats up wit Ryder scoring 2 goals?.wtf…Big Z? well hes Big Z for a reason gg man awsome!!!B’s in 6
Could the Bruins put together a package for the 3rd overall pick this year – so they could basically draft Hall/Seguin and Fowler?
A combination of the 17th pick, Toronto’s 1st next year, 2nd this year, Colbourne or Hammil, etc – Would Florida want to trade out of this spot to get a few more pieces?
yeah they could, not sure what your thinking is behind that though, there are a lot of good players in the draft this year so the #17 pick will be a good pick…fowler is described as a good player, but supposedly plays soft at times…and not to mention colbourne and hammil will probably good players for us at some point. Also, very good chance that the 1st next year will likely be in the top 10. Ultimately, a little too much for my liking.
From what I’ve read the draft next year looks pretty weak – The pick wouldn’t need to be Fowler, it could be Gudbranson or Gormley – Just thinking could/would the Bruins trade back in to the top 5 to draft that young stud defenseman that they need – although the B’s have developed a few defenseman, the pipeline looks to be running dry (For a top tier defensman)
i hate people that hate jack edwards
I like him most of the time, sometimes he’s just aggrvating, but you gotta love how much he loves the game though
I hate Jack Edwards. He says the stupidest things and half the time has no idea what he is talking about. I hate his voice also and believe Dale Arnold was much better. If I here Jack edwards say someone “dangled” one more time when really he just turned away from the defender in the corner I swear I am going to punch my television.
DALE LOL guy was shit
vanek has a high ankle sprain, doesnt sound good for him.
i guess dumbass sabres fans can stop blaming boychuck’s slash now…
But they wont, regardless that he slashed the right knee, and came up with an injured left ankle.
tsn update on savard: should be ready for the 2nd round. is doing “extensive” workouts on the stationary bike.
That’d be a huge boost for the team. They could get dangerous if he plays anything like his old self.
Would it be worth rushing him back in to play? I don’t think it would be really, as much as I would like to just magically have him back and healthy
they won’t rush him…relax. he won’t play unless he’s fine.
If Savy comes back who gets the bench? a month ago it would be #60, but hes been playing great hockey
thonrton. that’s easy…
i just dont know how to feel about savard… with the intensity of a playoff game wouldnt you be worried about him getting knocked back to 3rd grade and ruining next season?
i think the team just played the best game they have all year, and the line chemistry, and heart is there… id just tell savard thanks but no thanks
keep in mind we just locked him up long term
Bruins 4-3 ! I’m going with Wheeler as the man tonight ! I picked Ryder last game….let’s see !!
No way Tuuk let’s in 3 again! 3-1 Bruins, Tuuk makes 30 saves, Big Z with 2 assists, Bergie with a goal, Wheels pots one, and Paille puts in the game-winner. He’s been buzzing around for a while now so I think he cashes in.
I think a little on time on the bench is exactly what Ryder needed. Look at his play since he got demoted to fourth line late in the year. He’s been one of their best players since then. Scoring, grinding in the corners, hitting open ice? This is a whole new Ryder, i’m impressed.
And by the way you’re right, if Savard comes back you can’t sit Sobotka, he’s been awesome in my opinion and has great chemisty with that third line.

Marc Savard Skates at TD Garden, Hopeful to Return by Game 5
Marc Savard, out since March 7 with a Grade 2 concussion, skated at TD Garden Monday morning and addressed the media with some very encouraging news.
Savvy was asked if he could play in this series, and if it were strictly based on desire, the Garden would see No. 91 on the ice Monday night.
“If you’re asking me that, I’d like to play tonight,” said Savard. “I’ve got to be realistic here and take the proper steps. I’m hopeful.”
According to Savard, “realistic” means that he could be back during the Sabres series if he passes a neuro-psych test, which will be administered on Tuesday. He’ll also need to pass an exertion test. He would then need to get the green light from doctors, of course. The confident yet cautious centerman believes that Game 5 would be his earliest return date, but the Bruins have not set a timetable for such a return.
http://bh.heraldinteractive.com/blogs/sports/bruins/?p=1100&srvc=sports&position=recent_bullet
Also savard quoted as saying “I feel unbelievable” and “I feel like my self again”.
If he clears some tests (physical and neuro-psyc) he said there’s a chance we could see him this series. I say game 6 at home is the one!
Lets see how game 3 goes before we get our panties in a bundle about savard coming back.
In playoff hockey every game is more important than other game ever. So the B’s should focus on the task at hand.
Ryder, Sobs, Krejc, Chara, Boychuck, Rask are playing huge they need to focus on that and keep it up!
i hope im not getting ahead of myself, but wouldnt it be awesome to see savard back possibly in the next round against the pens and completely light up fluery?
id be down to see him drop the gloves with cooke
although im not sure how that would turn out…
wow really, you would want him fresh off a concussion from a cheapshot artist, to drop his gloves and fight him? i believe thats why we have guys like thornton, lucic, chara… so our skill guys dont need to fight people.
dont think cooke is dropping them any time soon anyways after getting merked by kane lol
All this Savard news is awesome. I agree with Mook that they won’t rush him back unless he’s ready, but I’d still be uneasy to watch him play.
If he comes back maybe just ease him into it on a bottom line and pretty much exclusively playing him on the PP. Go with something like:
Lucic-Bergeron-Recchi
Sturm-Krejci-Satan
Wheeler-Savard-Ryder
Paille-Begin-Sobotka
If Savvy can’t handle that much just move Sobotka back up.
