Game 26: Leafs & Reimer @ Bruins 7:00PM ET CBC,NHLN-US,NESN (HD)

[Propellertop]

Phaneuf, if you've been watching Lucic, please hit someone...please...

As a forward, Lucic has more free reign to, basically, charge at other players and be out of position.

Phaneuf is more of a 'get you in the open ice' kind hitter.  Lucic does it along the boards.

There's been more than a few opportunities where's he's pulling up and laying a guy out right now would generate some positive energy.

I think he probably knows better than you when a good time for him to hit someone is, and when a good time to not hit someone is.

EDIT: Talking about big open ice hits here.

Lucic's hit wasn't an open ice hit but it certainly got a rise outta ppl. I haven't seen much physicality out of Phaneuf and we need some.

let's just get out of this game without an injury...we'll need all the healthy bodies we can get for tomorrow's game

I still can't believe how much I wanted the Bruins to beat Vancouver.  I hate them.

If they played the canucks again, I'd still cheer for the Bruins.

They're market testing for a brand new CBC sitcom.

yeah ..lesser of two evils

Boston in Kessel's head for sure...two prime chances to shoot last period and he made bad passes instead

Tomorrow? I thought the Leafs play Rangers on Monday

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Going to lose my mind if I hear Healy say "One thing Boston has..." one more time.

 

[Propellertop]

Nice tackle by the Boston player right in front of the ref and NO call. WTF?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So close.

And nice tackle in front.

 

[drummond]

Giroux tied Kessel in the NHL scoring lead

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

It's a 2-1 game, and they have literally done none of these little close-up, more in-depth things about any Leaf player.

oh maybe i'm wrong..i thought they were in back to back games

 

[pnjunction]

Yes Healy, Kessel and Lupul are 1-2 and scoring so you have to jab at them like a b*tch near the bench between whistles

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Why keep Connolly out there on an icing, Glenn? Why?

 

[Fanatic]

Giroux tied Kessel in the NHL scoring lead

It was only a matter of time. Kessel is in a bit of a slump and playing Boston back to back won't help.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes

 

[Propellertop]

Yup. Boychuk with the hit then gets the goal...and Phaneuf can't handle Marchant...

 

[pnjunction]

Beauty pass out to Boychuk by Phaneuf
