apollo Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Exact exactttt same as the canucks series. Only difference is that our goalie played godlike and somehow stole us three wins. Yet he seems to get the blame from a bunch of idiots that call themselves canucks fans., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 This. The refs are less likely to give you penalties if you are a little guy running a big guy. Or if I was the coach I would just tell my guys to dish out ACL's, concussions and separated shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Kesler Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just because the Canucks got blown out in their losses doesn't mean they were schooled...took them to 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllHailSmyl Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I would like to first say that I despise the Bruins, Hawks and don't like the Kings much. Mostly, because all 3 teams knocked our guys out and got a Cup within the last 3 years. So I am of course cheering for the Pens, an obvious Cup fav. The bloody Bruins are doing to this years fav to win the Cup, as they did to the Canucks in 2011. Unfortunately some sick forces out there have crushed what everyone thought was a sure thing. Amazingly, the same circumstances have been resurrected in this series: 1) they can't score a single power play goal 2) they can't score hardly any goals 3) the best players are not playing their best 4) the number one goalie got shell shocked in a game How are the Bruins doing the exact same thing to the Pens like they did to our Canucks a couple years ago? This is not supposed to happen! I am just baffled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I dont think they could beat NYR and they definitely wouldn't have gone past the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 2011 Bruins -had a Doctor in their line-up, who also happened to be a good player. -Completely healthy line-up going in -Tomas Kaberle back when he was still good -Michael Ryder -Vezina winning Tim Thomas 2013 Bruins -Ference Injured going in -Seidenberg injured in previous series -Thomas>Rask 2011 Canucks -Samuelsson was out, 50 pt, 2nd line winger -Kesler was injured and only using one leg after the Sharks series 2013 Penguins -Healthy If we got "schooled", we got schooled by a much better team and still went 7. What's happening to the Penguins is best described as a "Debacle of Monumental Proportions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yes but technically, the Leafs did take the Bruins on the brink of elimination... The Rangers, and now possibly the Pens, did not. Therefore, technically, the Leafs are the better team if we're basing it off of how many games were played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenBae Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Bruins are a team built to beat teams like this year's Pens and the 2011 Canucks, not only that but Bruins are also a team that is built to get stronger as the playoffs go on by playing the body.

Bang Bang Boogie Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It's more of the Pens choking and having a meltdown than getting schooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Can Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Unfortunately there are more and more players in the league that care more about winning than anything else. So much so that they'd end someones career if it meant the cup and if they could get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Green Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Forget the hits and physical play. Yes that makes Boston hard to play against, but it's their trap that school teams like the Penguins. What did you see all games 1 and 2? Penguins trying to beat the Bruins 1 on 4 through the neutral zone and at the blueline. Bruins do a few things exceptionally well; they always cover the points and they always make sure the puck is in deep. Any time the Pens get the puck in their own end, there's already Bruin sticks all through the neutral zone and the forward or forwards forechecking are on you quick. Good luck threading a pass through all those sticks. Bruins get it back, dump it back in, and wear you down. Eventually you try to walk it out, now they turn it over with numbers in their favor and make you pay. And they have good enough forwards. They're going to make you pay. Then with speedy wingers covering your points, they take your D right out of the equation on offense. Pens aren't a crash and drive to the net team, what are they doing? Looking for the guy at the points. Those passes get picked off and now it's foot-race. Now you're down a couple so you really try to open it up, and now you're just fishing pucks out of your net every 5 minutes. You have to turn the tables on the Bruins. Go back and look at how the Caps played them. You gotta start dumping it in and turning their D, and force them to try to make plays through a crowded neutral zone. You don't have to physically beat them or be "man enough" to get involved in after the whistle stuff. That's a smoke screen. The best way to neutralize a good counter-puncher is to stop trying so hard to punch them. That's what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
