Same way people here cheered for Cooke, Kesler and Burrows. Every team has dirtbags. 

 

Headhundqvist, Blais and Perron are greasy dirtbags on the Blues. Gryzelcyk is out of the series due to a headshot. 

 

Picture of my TV room with the Bobby Orr and Thomas Gradin framed pictures I have for @Jaku and any other fans here that doubt both my Canuck and Bruin allegiance.

Both.  I just can't do it that way.  

 

Seems like a conflict of interest to me but that's your deal.

I have said this over and over gain, no one is disputing that Bruins have a good team.

They also play “hard nosed” hockey that lot of people like.

 

This does not change the fact what BM did to Salo and Boychuk to Raymond was dirty hockey.

Most importantly Bruins have “robbed” Canucks fans of having Stanley cup celebration.

Was a mistake imo, team was walked all over after that. It was an embarrassing display. 

 

Letting it go after the first 2 or 3 punches sure, the following 7, he should have responded. 

Rome's suspension.

Raymond's broken back that wasn't addressed.

 

It was embarrassing.  That the league dropped the ball and the Canucks were handcuffed.  

 

Sure we could have.  

 

No.

While I thought the Rome suspension was overkill, lets not forget that hit basically ended Horton’s career. 

 

As for Raymond I thought it could be called an interference penalty maybe was just an unfortunate result on the play. 

 

However if the Rome hit was 4 games Boychuk play should have been 4 as well as both were horrible results on minor penalties imo.

Not to downplay the seriousness of that concussion, but Horton's retirement was actually due to a degenerative back injury: https://web.archive.org/web/20141022004742/http://bluejacketsxtra.dispatch.com/content/stories/2014/10/22/1021-blue-jackets-horton.html

You should figure it out before you argue the case.  Not convincing me.  Sounds like maybe could be you're trying to convince yourself though.  I know what I saw.  Not buying "woops, sorry".

 

It was boarding at the least and don't try to tell me he didn't take an extra shove at him in a vulnerable position. 

 

And the fans?  Classless. 

 

I really am out.    I stick to "tell someone who cares"  Do the Bruins not have a board?

He struggled with concussions issues, concussion and spinal injuries go hand in hand. The Concussion played a part wadr

I’m not arguing, the league dropped the ball severely punishing one borderline play and not the other. 

 

You're letting emotion get in the way of the discussion so I will simplify it for you. 

 

If Rome’s hit was 4 games then so should Boychuk’s. 

 

I think imo, both were 2 minute penalties. With 2 very unfortunate outcomes.

The degenerative issue is with his lumbar (lower back), so I'm not too sure how much the concussion issues were related to that. It would be different if his spinal injury was closer to the neck.

 

Not trying to downplay his concussion issues at all, just trying to be as factual as possible.

In all honesty you can't be cheering for the Bruins and expect people on a Vancouver Canucks board to openly welcome you. There's a reason why there are message boards for all the NHL teams. Personally I could care less who anyone cheers for but b#tching and moaning on here about calls that went against the Bruins or how dirty another teams plays against them you'd better expect some grief from fans here. 

This post is what used to be known as common sense.

For the 732nd time in this thread, was a fan of the Bruins going back to Neely, Bourque, and Oates. I don't cheer for them over Vancouver and I go to 2-4 Canuck games a year, that costs me about $1000-1500 to make those trips from where I live. So kiss my ass questioning my Canuck allegiance thank you. 

are you secretly The Hockey Guy?

Studies have strong links with Concussion and Spinal Cord injuries being related. The brain and Spinal Cord are connected and Concussions can cause spinal issues and spinal injuries can cause/aggravate concussions. 

 

It's not surprising to me in the least after suffering concussion/post concussion setbacks that he shortly developed the degenerative issue. It is entirely possible the two are related.
