We’re gonna have a Donnybrook!
Lucic is dominating the Habs here.
Bonus points to Thornton for his taunting of O’Byrne the Turtle. “I’ll [expletive] kill you, I swear to God. I’ll [expletive] choke you.” That’s blue collar!
Hnidy is dominating someone here in the second. Lucic was going with two guys at once!
Komisarek just hit Luch from behind. Thornton tried to come Lucic’s defense, but Luch took him down from behind to take care of business himself. At this point there won’t be any one left on the B’s bench and poor Bitz is going to be standing up in the penalty box the whole time. Lucic gets a 10 minute game misconduct.
In other news, Bergeron leaves the ice favoring one leg. Must have been shock, he’s O.K.
As entertaining as this is, you gotta wonder if the Habs are doing this to goad the B’s into this type of reaction? Milbury mentioned how it looks like the Habs have been told not to fight since they are all turtling.
While everyone wants the B’s to win – let’s face it. The B’s aren’t playing for much, and this is their chance to beat the Habs up. We’ll see in the third period…
Boo yeah! Bergeron lays down a HUGE hit in OT to get the puck. Recchi beats Price and there you have it. Bergeron had a hell of a game – I don’t think we’ve seen him have that many hits in one game ever.
Baseball season started? Who cares!
He’s on fire
Another goal for Luch. Will he get to 20?
This last one was a hard slapshot that simply beat Auld in the second period.
It seems whatever was bothering #17 for a while is a non issue now just in time for the playoffs.
Toughness, fearlessness, and dedication …
GOAL! (edit: GOALS!)
Lucic scores about halfway through the first against Philly. He hauled up the ice and got himself into perfect position for the pass and directed it home.
Luch is riding a three game point streak now.
At the end of the first, it was almost a copy of the first goal! Luch took a nice pass from Krejci and shot it past the goalie (not even going to try to spell it). B’s lead 3-1.
Halfway through the second Lucic slams Jones against the boards behind the Philly net. Going into commercial break Jack Edwards commented: “Lucic mashes Jones… cry me a river.”
All He Needs is A goal!
Even though Luch got bloodied, he landed some big blows on Oreskovic. No take down, but #17 gets it on points.
We need a goal for a Gordie.
Things that make you say “hmmm”
Hunwick on D and Montador as a wing?? Why not the other way around? And where the heck has Hnidy been, why doesn’t he get a nod every now and then?
On another note, AWESOME backhand goal by Ryder in the first tonight.
Point to Luch tonight in the early goings as well…
Update halfway through the second: another point for Luch who assisted on Krejci’s pretty goal.
Goooooooal!
Lucic lights the lamp for the 14th time this season last night at the Garden.
It was nice to see all the B’s finally firing on all cylinders. Last night was their first full, complete, well played game in a while – a couple months maybe.
Luch had some hits and a goal. It seemed he may have had a fight too if the refs hadn’t been so quick to get in between a couple potential fights (although, Stuart clearly wanted to fight the most out of all the B’s – he hit everyone he could reach!)
This is the Lucic (and Bruins) we need to see in order to have a deep playoff run…
Neil vs. Lucic
That was a brutal fight in the first period. Both guys throwing lots of hard punches. The fight only stopped when the sweater went over Luch’s head. It seems that his helmet comes off too easy and he can never get the other guy’s off! Luch went down the tunnel “for repairs” as Jack Edwards said. It’s tough to say who really won the fight. Maybe bonus points for Luch for throwing and landing a blind punch or two with the sweater over his head?
Props for Axie for giving it to Ruutu a little bit. Honorable mention for Ryder’s HUGE hit on whoever he hit in the first as well.
Highly unlikely this game will get more polite before it’s over.
Recchi! Recchi! Recchi!
Recchi scored twice in front of a very fired up and at times antsy Garden crowd. The B’s must be happy to have a win, but that was a sloppy way to win. Timmy’s awesome play kept the B’s in the game when Chicago could have easily had another handful of goals.
Other than a handful of awesome saves by #30 which got the crowd going, two other plays stand out. First was Recchi’s second goal and the other was Axelsson’s open ice hip check during a penalty kill in I want to say the second. Recchi had the crowd chanting his name when he came out for the #1 star.
No goals or big hits by Luch, but he did get a helper on Kessel’s goal.

Bruins Win!

Recchi hands out the stick for being the #1 star
