    marchand is a gutless turd.  hit's people when they are not looking then skates away. 
    Did I say he wasn't?  He is far from the only player in the league that takes cheap shots.  And someone from Philadelphia criticizing dirty play from a player, that is funny...no team was as dirty as the flyers in the '70s...LMFAO.

    Well until Montreal took them to task and schooled them...
    typical boston fan.  but but but everyone cheats not just the pats.  
    I could be mistaken, but pretty sure Meltdown99 isn't a Boston fan. (his prediction of Blues in 6 might be a giveaway)

    And Marchand on the mountain rather than Bourque?  That's an out and out miscarriage of justice.  Figures Boston ignores their classiest player ever.  
    Its funny to see you and others take the photo seriously,
    A: Considering the source
    2: Anthony Davis as the Celtics representative.



    Right?

    Not a Boston fan in the least grew up a Habs fan and follow the wings due to proximity.

    Marchand is immature, but if Boston does not want him send him to the Habs..

    The Blues coaches have more career penalty minutes than the entire Blues roster combined

    it is easy to see...look who their coaches are.  Berube has to be the coach of the year...

    Loss of Hedman and Stralman was a killer.  No help going four lines deep on offense if you can't go 2 lines on defense.

    Oddly, only 2 coaches of the years have won the President's Trophy, and both times a coach has won 60 (with an asterisk), Scotty Bowman, they were the coach of the year...so something gives this year.  And no Cooper did not have a year for the age.  To paraphrase Larry Robinson when Detroit broke Montreal's record for wins with 62 means nothing without the winning The Stanley Cup...those are my feelings towards Tampa...whoop...you were on the golf course a week later than the non-playoff teams.

    The asterisks are for Cooper.  Bowman accomplished his without the aid of OT in the '70s.  And those Montreal teams were the best ever assembled...

    And maybe it's time that the playoffs counted toward these awards...

    I think St Louis' job was a bigger feat.  Tampa Bay had/has a stacked team, and honestly, their success surprised nobody

    St. Louis was a tire fire.  They even had that real ugly fight in practice that hit the internet.  Then they came on strong to come from last in the NHL to 1 point out of 1st place in their Division in a few months.  Tampa and St. Louis' records after New Year's are nearly identical.

    It takes so much out of the players to win that Cup. It seems impossible to speak spoken words once they know they've won it. I hope that will be the case for the BRUINS with 4 more wins.

    Not sure what changed for the Blues after the first period. They were exiting their zone easily and getting pucks deep. After that, they tried way too many stretch passes that lead to turnovers. We couldn’t get the puck into the offensive zone for any pressure or shots. Stupid, horrible penalties. I have faith that Berube will light a fire in them. That won’t be the Blues for the majority of this series. Well, I freaking hope not.
