R1G1: Leafs @ Bruins - May 1st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Show some F'n heart out there boys. Beat on the score board and physically.

The NHL has decided they arent allowed to be physical. If they touch a Bruin they get a penalty...or tossed out...or whatever they feel like doing.

How is every single hit on Grabovski a monster hit on the guy?  That was a clean one but he has been destroyed at least 3 times tonight.

Because, everyone knows hitting Grabovski is not a penalty. It's uncanny how hard he gets hit, how often it happens, how frequently they're questionable hits and haw it's almost never a penalty.

Ference better be getting a good suspension.  He's a repeat offender too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fu_vcIzT-8

I doubt he gets more than a fine, though he definitely deserves a couple games for that. It was pretty blatant.

That is why you need an Orr in the lineup.  Period.

Because he takes a 2 minute roughing penalty after the big hits already happen?

He took a penalty in a game thats basically over, after a cheap shot.

Exactly.  Orr doesn't prevent the cheap shots.  He's not a deterrent.  He fights other 4th line goons and serves no role against middle-weights who won't drop the gloves with him but have no problem throwing elbows or massive hits on our better players.

But hey, he's good at fumbling the puck and dumping it into the zone at the end of a long shift so I guess that's something.

Could be worse.  Islanders getting hammered 5-0, end of the second.

Really?  Seems worse than Lupul's that he got suspended for, with no priors.

As if "beating" on the Bruins is going to intimidate them. They are not far removed from winning the Cup. The Leafs aren't scaring anyone.

So he's a good player to have on a losing team.

If the game is already lost might as well try and hurt some of their players for next game.

Let's goon it up boys...

You. I like you.

 

[ZBBM]

Outplayed in the first game many of these guys have ever had in the playoffs?  Not too surprising.  I expect better Saturday.

 

[13th fan]

Wonder if he could help Kessel for the Bruins​

I agree, but, playoff standards and all . . .

Make Kessel watch the movie every night until he starts to score against Boston?

 

[Rebel_1812]

;Shudder;

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

finally. Lupul/Kessel/Kadri?...

 

[ZBBM]

On the bright side, Grabs looks like he's back to his tough-as-nails self.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[bustaheims]

And there was no whistle there why?

 

[Rebel_1812]

We need the Bay St Bullies to rough some of these Bruins up.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

ohforheavenssakes.

 

[ZBBM]

Kadri is getting a bigtime schooling tonight.
