Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap. Why Boston?

Just wait for Marchand or Lucic to take a dumb penalty and then take advantage.

[Kessel_fan_87]

Ya but stupid Chara will still be out there

[cygnusx1]

Honestly, Chara didn't play very well tonight at all. Can't really say what he has done in prior games this year but the commentators were saying his play has declined a bit in the past month or so. Injured perhaps?

[Kessel_fan_87]

It must just be mental with us, the big bad bruins come to town and we play like a team of bantam girls.

[centrehice]

Chara has lost a step this year. Speed kills.

If you skate like the wind at Chara and generally fly around, he gets exposed quickly. If you create open ice and keep moving, Chara is just another big, slow defenseman. Knock around slowly in the corners and near the net, and he is going to eat you alive.

Lucic thinks that he can just push people around. Yesterday he got a decent shot in on Neil in their fight. He allowed Neil back-up, into the fight for round two, and ended-up eating a few left-hands. The Leafs have 2-3 guys I can think of that will put Lucic in his place.

This series above all others will be a WAR. I cannot wait.

I wonder how much the commentators will mention Kessel vs. Seguin/Hamilton, or even Rask (former TO pick) vs. Reimer... I'm guessing, a lot.

[Wickabee]

Boston is a lot like the Cup winning team and they are very beatable, but you have to do it in the first 10 minutes.
Boston comes out looking to intimidate immediately and once that is done, they own the rink. You need puck posession and speed. If a team can hold onto the puck and whip it around for a little while, Marchand, Lucic and Chara all get frustrated and the first two start running around like idiots. When Chara gets frustrated he starts concentrating on hitting individual players instead of playing his solid defensive game.

If you don't start hard and fast, they will eat you, every time. If you focus on puck control and speed, they're very average. Can't let Boston play their game, simple as that. Vancouver didn't let Boston dictate the play in 3 out of 7 games in the finals. Learn from us and take them out...PLEASE!
