When i saw the Goalie leave his post unattended, i called another Hawks score.. It was hilarious seeing Lucic flip out

wot

[Realism]

Well sheeeiiiiit.

[LiftLaughLust]

I can't blame Looch for being pissed off, 5 seconds before Krug got the slewfoot treatment. With that said, the Hawks came out to play and deserved the W fully.

there was also the stick to the mouth he took earlier

[Bodybreak]

We got a series boys.

Best SCF since 03' IMO.

Is Bergeron died?

i almost feel like he was trying to play through appendicitis or something...


idk just weird how he got "hurt".


hopefully him and toews and everyone else can make it back for game 6.

rumor is bergeron has a spleen injury, appendicitis would probably produce similar symptoms as well though

[FourKicks]

Ruptured spleen is what some Boston media members are saying.

@RenLavoieRDS: Patrice Bergeron will fly with his teammates to Boston this morning. #bruins #RDS"/Well, there you go. First hurdle.

They did that on purpose. It gives the Bruins an extra man on the ice and they only do that when they're in desperation mode. Funnily enough, the Bruins actually invented that this year after they finally read the rule book, which allows a team to pull their goalie and replace him with an extra skater.

It's hilarious, how after all of these years, no one thought to actually read the rule book. They had a ton of time to read the rule book during the lockout and waited until game 7 against Toronto to reveal the strategy to the world, and it paid off big of course after they scored two goals in the last minutes of the game to force overtime.

The more you know.

edit:

Actually, I'm wrong. A quick Google search revealed that the first team to do this was actually a Boston prep team this winter and, for some reason, this strategy remained quiet around NHL circles. Leave it nerds to actually read the rule book, eh? The only reason Boston found out was because one of the players on that prep squad mows an unamed Bruins player's lawn in the North End. Apparently, they've developed quite the mentor/mentee relationship.

The power of networking.

After sleeping on that loss last night, I'm not too pissed off right now. I'm disappointed, but I thought the Bruins looked good during the second and third periods. They need to get off to a good start for once in the first period though.

The Bruins top offensive players need to show up, now.

[Davidson4]

Gotta hope Bergy is feeling better today.. Game ready or not, I'm worried for the poor guys health

@LeafsPR The #Leafs have acquired Jonathan Bernier from the Kings for Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens and a 2nd round pick in 2014 or 2015

Fuuuark not sure what to think of this. Frattin is good and Bernier hasn't proved to be that much better than Scrivens..

[mgftp]

LoLL, Flyers

[ScrillaVilla]

I wonder what ECN thinks of this deal since he's Reimer's #1 hater.

Also Leafs management consider Bernier the #1 right now. Reimer may be traded to the Oilers, see how things go.

Bernier is a number one potentially so I don't see Reimer going anywhere. It depends what happens next season.

I'm just glad the trade is over so idiots on HF stop trying to send him to the Devils for forwards we can't spare.

[lolgreg]

Oh fuark welcome aboard Bernier.

I wouldn't have minded trading for him if the Kings were willing to take D prospects for him, which they don't need. There's no way Lou would trade Henrique, Matteau or the 1st for him, so the deal never made any sense. He also won't buyout Hedberg, so there was never an NHL spot for Bernier anyway.

[ScrillaVilla]

Phanuef is on the trade market, oh lawd.

[A.Machado]

Claude on Bergeron (source is weei)

Rupture spleen but listed as day to day.

“Guys, day-to-day is really good news to me, anyways, should be to you guys.”

Julien made one more reference to Bergeron when asked if Bergeron’s availability would factor into continued playing time for Carl Soderberg on the second line with Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr.

“What does day-to-day mean? I don’t know if he’ll skate [Monday morning],” Julien said of Bergeron. “He may, and that’s what day-to-day is. I’m trying to be as clear as I can here. At the same time, I like Soderberg’s game. Anybody who knows that this guy hadn’t played in two months and played the way he did should be impressed. I know I was. He had good jump. He had no fear

[slowdubbin68]

praise the lord

[whiskeysticks]

Patty Kane, the new face of the NHL.
