NuckNuckNucks Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think not. I just love how they are finally looking out for each other. Last year made me sick watching them do the jesus thing which probably made the difference in the finals outcome. This year they look better than last. It's almost upon us people!

Caboose Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am fairly sure Marchant retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It won't happen this year because we have Aaron Volpatti and Zack Kassian. Volpatti won't be able to return until the later rounds of the playoffs, but the only teams I see toughness being an issue is in the Stanley Cup Finals if we make it. Boston, Philadelphia, and the NY Rangers. Volpatti - Lapierre - Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyzer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 No. Canucks grew a backbone. They are starting to stick up for each other which we lacked in Boston series. I think we will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Drew Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just put Kassian with the Sedins and that WON'T HAPPEN. Kassian would kill Marchand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_pwnzor Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The Bruins won't make it to the finals. So: no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuckNuckNucks Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Still bugs the hell out of me when I see this. And Daniel got a 2 minute misconduct for it. http://youtu.be/K2OdInJOcpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Volpatti - Lapierre - Kassian: Pfft... Now there's a line that'll never see the ice. Meanwhile, Marchand is a proven 2nd line winger. Then don't forget about Lucic and Chara as well. No, if any deterrent comes, it'll have to come from our top-6/top-4. But lately AV's been mixing it up quite a bit. The hope is that he'll address problems when they arise rather than riding the same lineup combos into the ice this time. However, he'll need options. Last season he seemed to run out. This season we seem to have more. But i don't expect the Bruins to reach the finals anyway. They could, but it'll be a LOT tougher for them than last year. Cheers.

NuckNuckNucks Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Daniel got 2 and 10 for cussing out the Ref. There won't be a replay of this. After the Kieth attack on Daniel, I think Henrik would lumberjack a guy for trying the same. Though ideally it would be someone else picking up the penalty minutes than a Sedine. Kassian, Lapierre, Volpatti, wtc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Nope - Pittsburgh isn't the type of team to take liberties with other star players, as the last thing they want is to put a target on their own guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockbuster Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I worry Kassian doesn't want to fight anymore. Especially after Peca's comments about him in Buffalo!! 1 fight in 20 games. 3 fights in the NHL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Learn how to spell players names. Marchant is a completely different player from Brad Marchand. But no, the chances of Boston making it back to the Finals are pretty slim. Our lineup is a lot tougher now too, and we have more experience.

Shift-4 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 No, because the abuse was upgraded to flying elbows this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 What bobbleheading? Clearly, Marchand was defending himself against that goon Sedin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
