I have absolutely no problem with the Nucks ganging up on Thornton, nor does he, nor do the Bruins. But apparently everybody has a problem with the fact that there's a price to pay for doing it or ignoring the fact that it's Burrows who starts that melee by attempting to spear Thornton. Despite all that, the Bruins still damn near won that game today because they were clearly the better team.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-25779532436077561502012-01-07T19:12:17.643-05:002012-01-07T19:12:17.643-05:00The NHL has rescinded the match penalty to Lucic, ...The NHL has rescinded the match penalty to Lucic, saying that he was on the ice before the melee. No 10-game suspension.<br /><br />But if you expect me to feel sorry for the Bruins being ganged up on, there will be a long wait. There isn't any problem on my part for Vancouver players on the ice sticking up for one of their own when a Bruins player leaps for him and wants to party. After all, the Bruins being a close knit team have done the outmanning an opponent thing more than once this year.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-504453541799664252012-01-07T18:40:10.047-05:002012-01-07T18:40:10.047-05:00Congrats NDSU!

He hurt his team today with that stunt.<br />There'll be no penalty for Lucic. He was the 6th man in for Boston for a fight that was at a minimum 6 on 1. But apparently there's no game misconducts for cross checking a goalie in the chin.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-89314077431242096032012-01-07T17:03:54.292-05:002012-01-07T17:03:54.292-05:00The Bruins came out and decided that they would be...The Bruins came out and decided that they would be the instigators of rough stuff. Shawn Thornton started the brawl where Lucic came off the bench. I think I might be seeing a 10-game suspension for that one. And the body check that Marchand threw at the knees of the Canuck was priceless. I can see a multiple game suspension for that one and more and more you can't distinguish Marchand and Torres. They both play dirty.<br /><br />As for NDSU, we are partying like it's 1999.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-71793687056706132382012-01-07T08:46:54.132-05:002012-01-07T08:46:54.132-05:00Go NDSU!

The Canucks should know that they shouldn't start it because it's not their game and the Bruins will bury them if they do. I will not be surprised, despite how great the Bs are playing, to see the Canucks come out and win with a pure offensive style.<br />I think the PSU alumni would've been less hostile if the outsider being hired had much more gravitas than O'Brien, who has no head coaching experience at all.<br />I'm looking forward to the Houston/Cincy game because it has the most bearing on the Pats and also is likely the best matchup. ATL/NYG should be good as well.<br />The NHL is starting to thrive again and so I hope nothing creates a problem with a new CBA.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-9886090348505602502012-01-07T00:43:48.901-05:002012-01-07T00:43:48.901-05:00I would love more than anything to watch Lucic or ...I would love more than anything to watch Lucic or Thornton pound on Alex Burrows.
