  1. I don't care that we lost at this point.....I still get goosebumps. All fond memories for me. I was there for so many games back then and I loved that team. Bruins won't taint the amazing stuff I saw, even if it did crumble and not turn out how we wanted...the ride to get there was fantastic. That team was special and no one can take that away.
  2. Bieksa garners more respect in his little finger than Chara does in his entire body. I don't even want Chara to get the opportunity to apologize...it'd be empty. You apologize if you've made a mistake but this was a targeted verbal attack so he can just own that. It's put to rest for me with Bieksa having the final word. Chara can become irrelevant (again) now.
  3. Bieksa "Logistically, it's impossible. You think about all the media that's there covering the finals and all the competitiveness of trying to find some story different than the other person. Clearly, somebody would've reported about that or had a camera. And even Chara walks it back a little bit with his comments from we saw them (?) to we heard to we believe we heard" Hrudey adds "rumours". "So, yeah, originally I was upset about it to hear because it's a little bit of an attack on our character as a team and organization but also our leadership group. And you're talking about 3 first ballot Hall of famers in the Sedins and Luongo...you're talking about Malholtra and Hamhuis and myself. To think that we would allow something like that to happen, let alone participate in it is disappointing. Coming from a guy like Chara, you'd just, you'd expect more and maybe a little bit more of a mutual respect, that he wouldn't repeat a story like that, that's insulting to us without fact checking it or seeing it or witnessing it firsthand. So I think like the main emotion I have right now is just I'm disappointed in him." Hrudey goes on to say he was there every day for every morning skate with "how many cameras there" and it didn't happen...they would have seen it. Bulletin board material per Bieksa: "that's for the week" He's going on to emphasize how ridiculous it is and how it never happened. "It's eleven years ago...why now?"
  4. Chara doing a good job of now marring his cup...gracious winners are the standard. He just did something totally uncalled for and he looks stupid. Not bad enough that they had Daddy Campbell and won due to some extra love from the league. Now they have to rub salt in the wounds. Just pathetic. There was NO need for him to stir that pot at this point....it's been over a decade. What a clown.
  5. Chara just shrunk 3 feet...I'm glad everyone on the panel is of the same (sound) mind. Didn't happen, why now? Disrespectful. Donkey. I'm glad Bieksa has this platform....there is no way this should have slid through without the Canucks having their say. Suck it, Zzzzzzzzzgreatdaneo.
  6. It's what I said too...makes no sense. It would've been everywhere had it happened. I'm sure Juice'll have to be very PC....I wish he'd just rip right into Chara but I expect him to do it professionally with a bit of his sarcasm mixed in for good measure. As has been said, they've been talking it over with him on the panel (and with Elliotte) for the past few hours. I'm sure some bs HNIC guidelines set out. But this is HIS reputation that Chara's playing with ... I'd love for him to just unleash.
  7. Was listening to 650 and they had Brent Thompson on. Said Tage always wanted to be a goaltender so one day they threw him in net. They won 6-1. Scored on him on the one shot against him. That was it, he didn't play goal any more...decided he didn't like it. Dad also said he wasn't a big kid (must have had one helluva growth spurt).
  8. Again, you're making this about US...it's not. This isn't about "adding colour" this is about humiliation, through what seems to be fabrications. And it's not that it's "still fresh"....that's mostly the point. It's done, over, stale...so why is Chara adding "colour" to the events 11 years later? He won, move on...don't make up stories. Be gracious, humble and complimentary at this point. Especially considering the timing and that some of those players are being honoured. There's a lack of respect from Chara at this point. When you state crap like "says things we don't like" it's a little too forgiving. He's making crap up years after the fact...why? (Because he's an ass...his dives, alone, tell us all we need to know about his honesty). You can be grateful for Lucic, Chara and Marchand...doesn't mean we all have to be. Maybe Chara should take a page out of a guy like Iginla's book...pure class. Hated when our team played against him, but had nothing but respect for him and how he conducted himself when Linden retired. That's how you do it...you leave all the ugliness on the ice and focus on a mutual show of respect.
  9. Now I'm EXTRA sad to be missing the game! Our guys...Chuck (RIP beautiful boy) and Rowdy (the pup, chewin' on a stick). My money's on Easton.
  10. Right? I've made that point to a few....we are over it. It's Zdunno who's dredging up he said/he saw crap 11 years later. Seems maybe he's a little salty seeing the boys get into the HHOF...what timing. Should be paying respects to them like the rest of the hockey world. Classless at any time, but considering the timing, bottom of the barrel. Hockey players generally celebrate one another at this point and when it's all said and done. Zdeno's seemingly stuck in the past and has no idea how to be a gracious winner or pay respects to fellow players who are now retired. Sedins run circles around him in the class department. What a dumbass.
  11. #worried I don't see Miller? Is he hurt (remember, I thought I saw blood on his face in the game...could be wrong).
  12. Are you actually downplaying the 2011 team? No competition during the Sedin era? Another big reach.
  13. This isn't cup envy so don't call it what it isn't. This is pure full on Bruins hate...and we're not the only team to feel this way. Their antics are disrespectful to the game (I mean, come on...fans watching a guy lick another guy's face?). Before you go off on Burrows which is usually the case when something like this is mentioned, that's next level crap that Marchand's doing. In line of COVID, these days it would be a criminal offence. Add in the jeering at a badly injured player. Etc. Bruins have been gifted many "get out of jail free" passes over the years. Daddy set that tone. Chara's a goof. Saying bad things about him does NOT reflect on Schenn...that's quite a reach there. WOW Move on? Maybe weigh in to where Chara hasn't yet managed to do that because we're responding, not initiating this conversation. Especially considering 3 players from that Canucks team were just inducted into the HHOF...maybe it's more a time to show respect and say good things than for Zzzzdeno to dwell on dreams he had over 10 years ago. Blame Chara, not those reacting to his strewn trash. Maybe it's actually HHOF envy.
  14. Or Deb can hire him as a care aide during her recovery. Just to help a guy out.
  15. @smithers joe Joe you already made a prediction on the first page so change it if you'd like the later (more accurate one) to stand. Otherwise it'll be your first one that's kept. (BTW, they're both wrong). But I'm glad to see the Canucks are making a comeback in your predictions!....one more page and we get the tying and go ahead goals! My prediction: Canucks win 3-2 Miller
