Does it seem like younger players are really carrying the play even more this playoffs? The power of youth in the NHL grows?

 

Hopefully one step closer tonight to the dream match-up of Montreal and Boston

I was just thinking how great a series between those two teams would be!

Only Kronwall on Detroit could have gotten away with that trip on that Marchand breakaway.

 

And only a Bruin could have gotten away if it were reversed.

Of course Marchand was faking the torn ligament. What a little ######.

I just tuned into the game, did he manage to get a PP out of it?

 

BTW, welcome to the board. :thumbsup:

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Two of the teams I dislike the most.

 

I probably hate those two teams more than you do but as a hockey fan, how could anyone on this planet not want to watch that series

Yeah, um,… k. So,… um, would the league have suspended him for the same hit if there was no headshot and play continued? I really doubt it. The league can say whatever they want.

 

I know. It doesn't make much sense that they didn't mention the hit to the head in their explanation. Thats why I threw it out there. To see what people thought of that. I wasn't arguing either way. Maybe they're getting concerned with these class action lawsuits that are cropping up. Who knows ? Seems strange to me. From their track record of dealing with these hits I doubt its from concern for the injured player.

Pacioretty is still on this planet, right?

This made me laugh. I don't know how much he even has a say in these matters, but I truly believe that Bettman sees players as just grist for the mill.

I agree. The cost of doing business.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure how Kopitar does it with that wonky eye. :rolleyes:

Two big, physical teams just hammering each other out in LA. Games like this are why I've always thought some guys are made for the regular season and some for the post-season.

 

Agreed. I'm not sure how some of our shrinking violets would survive this war of attrition that is the western conference playoffs. Especially these two teams.
