Is this a joke??? “Rewarding” a team with a power play??? If you cant beat another team 5-5 and can only win by tricking the refs into giving you an extra player, you dont deserve to win. Losers mentality.

yeah I was going to say you must not have watched Marchand for long. He is one of the dirtiest players in the league.

watch the video. He dives and ducks/clips more than anyone in the NHL

That’s the biggest crybaby response I’ve ever heard, I understand wanting to tell a guy saying “Nah nah, we win and you suck” to shut up. But that is the laziest arguing I’ve ever heard, no objective sports fan would actually try to pass these off as a convincing arguments and think you’re actually pissing off any grounded Boston sports fans, or any sports fans for that matter.

Actually they are 4th with 338. Philly is 1st with 395, but why let stats factor into one of your arguments.

Whoops, that last statement might be racist against people who still live in their parents’ basement.

I guess that just makes me a typical Bostonian.

@tatdue, my comment was racist? Your reply just made my day; look up the definition of racist & get back to me.

I’m well aware of the nationalities of the Bruins, I have nothing but love for America’s hat.

Most of all about Canada, I love the butthurt losers sitting in their parents’ basements making videos of the Bruins from the last 5 years & putting them on the internet which is what my “ignorant racist” comment made direct reference to.

Good try at making my statement into something it isn’t.

If you’re going to accuse someone of being ignorant & unintelligent, you should probably think before you write.

So from watching the video, we have a legitimate cross check to the ribs, where the Montreal player broke his stick, a couple Marchand dives(who got a talking to and has cleaned it up), a play where both the Bruins and Caps player are trying to draw a penalty, a legit hook on the leg, Thornton diving and getting called out for it by the bruins announcer (after the Habs had been diving all game drawing penalties) and a high stick which you cant see at its final moment whether it hit him in the face or not….

Great stuff, the Vancouver and Montreal video would be 2 hours long from the last 2 seasons…

wow… ignorant american…making a blatantly false statement and other americans giving him thumbs up for it. Its usually the americans in the league that are sensitive and the Canadian players that have to stick up and fight for them. Does boston have one fighter on the team that is american?

Look how much rage people get when talking about the Bruins. Love it! That’s an accumulation of every dive the Bs have taken the past three years. Make one of those for the Canucks or the Habs..hell, make a video JUST for one player on those teams and you get plenty of material. Come on…nobody actually thinks the Bruins are an embellishment problem, like the Habs or Canucks. Talk about being hypocritical.

What a shock a story about the Bruins and habsman feels the need to chime in as usual. You must be a closet Bruins fan if you are this infatuated with everything they do.

Your statement is so irrelevant, and horribly inaccurate its silly. There is a reason you have so many thumbs down habsman. Chara fighting emelin because he cheap shotted seguin is what a captain does for his team. Its not dirty, he is standing up for smaller younger players against “dirty” plays like those of emelin. Its plays like these that make the bruins a tight knit and physical play.

And belive it or not, the NHL does not have some master plan to make the bruins avoid all suspensions, maybe they dont get suspensions because….they dont play dirty hockey!

If the Bruins are “classic” divers then why are they 26th in PP opportunities with 33? The Habs are 1st with 62 and your Flyers are 14th with 42.

Words of wisdom for every team and their fans, man. Guys calling out other teams just seems silly to me. Quotes and press conferences don’t win Stanley Cups.

And you’re welcome. Glad to help!

too soon habsfan. Making a joke about needing cops in schools because of a school shooting is about as low as you can go. Why dont you leave this thread for hockey. Their is a reason why noone in america like you french candiens – your the epitome of a typical frenchie. A We We

Habs are divers. Bruins are goons.

24 Cups! Bruins Suck!

Won the cup two years ago! Habs are living in the past.

There, saved you reading 95% of the rest of the comments.

I wonder why the refs haven’t cracked down on diving and embellishment in general. I thought one of their mandates for this season was to crack down on that. Seems like it’s barely being called at all from what I’ve seen. If there was some consistency with that, then we’d have somewhere to start a conversation about who tanks it a little too easily and who doesn’t. Until then, Bruins fans will moan about Montreal and Vancouver, Montreal and Vancouver fans will moan about Boston, Pittsburgh fans will moan about Philadelphia and vice-versa, and so on…

“It seems kind of pointless to launch an attack on any other team for that kind of stuff when your own team is pulling the same stunts.”

Words of wisdom for Mr. Lucic and Clod?

BTW, the breathing exercises have really helped. Thanks again!

Marchand’s play could be considered dirty and he may stir things up but he’s not going to flop and dive to try to get a call. It disgusts me when I see Suban lay on the ice or jaw at the ref after being touched. That’s not what hockey’s about. Take a hit and get from it. Don’t expect a call after throwing yourself to the ice.
