“Obviously he got up and took a penalty, but we looked at the replay. When he’s been through what he went through last year and it was a blindside hit, I don’t blame him for doing his job,” said Julien. “If I was in his shoes I probably would have done the same thing. That’s our team. We take care of our own stuff. You saw that a couple of times with Kelly getting run over, and getting stood up for by [Thornton].

“We stick up for each other. That’s what we do. Sometimes that might get us into trouble, but in the long run we’re a team and we believe in our team concept.”

Not much whining there…but I’ll do some…

Sestito has a penchant for head shots and he’s already been suspended twice this year for it so I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that that was a deliberate, late and high targeted hit. Did he decapitate him, no…but does he deserve to sit out a couple of games? If the league wants to be consistent, yes.

Lets all look at things a bit more sensible and you can see that its a bit late and a bit high. Not the most violent you will see, but certainly worth a look from the league. Enough said.

Seeing the same losers on here bashing every Bruins post, and the same homers defending them shows a severe lack of maturity in this fun bunch. I should just change my name to phillyandmontrealfulloflosers and make senseless posts no matter the story. FUN RIGHT?!

Nice try at diminishing the cheap shots in order to justify the cowardly way your team plays.

Keep up the “spin” but the rest of the league is on to you. Even daddy Colie can’t help you anymore.

The difference between Boston and Vancouver/Montreal is that the Bruins will answer for anything they do or have done to them. All of the Bruins are willing to drop the gloves if the situation warrants it. You saw Kelly do it yesterday and its what sets them apart in the league and clearly ahead of Vancouver and Montreal. They don’t need to sucker punch – they drop the gloves and fight like men.

You may have administered the most cheap shots in the game but that’s about it. If you think the Bruins got beat up then you didn’t watch the game.

Hey Rex remember when the Bruins swept the Flyers last year? That was fun. Bet you think the Bruins got beat up in that series to right?

This is just Julien’s attempt at politics. He knows the entire league is onto their cheap shot act. Just far too many incidents and far too many spotlights. Sorry, you can’t play the victim after getting away with countless cheap shots over the past couple of years. Maybe time to trade Greg?

Horton plays the game the right way and the last thing anyone should want to see is an issue of concussions. His history of concussions all started with one of the cheapest shot possible by Aaron Rome.

Guess teams are starting to realize they can’t beat the Bruins so they mine as well try to injure them. And judging by some of these comments that makes people happy. And that’s a scary thought.
