Popular Post Coconuts Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 This is huge for the Isles, they needed that space. Can't say I wish him well though, &^@# that guy. Broke Raymond's back to thunderous applause. Sure, it ain't classy of me, but I hope karma gets him. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game. It was sickening to hear the cheering. Also got to hammer the Canucks' medical staff. How do you let a guy with a broken back leave the ice like this........... And there's Kesler with his torn labrum helping Raymond off. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond was in vulnerable position and JB should have not finished his check. Reminds me of that dirty play that Marchand pulled on Salo and later claimed he was protecting himself. I was not a fan of that Bruins team with Lucic, Chara, Boychuk, Marchand etc. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not a fan of that Bruins team with Lucic, Chara, Boychuk, Marchand etc. Raymond wasn't just in a vulnerable position. It was Boychuck who put him in a vulnerable position. Raymond had his back to the boards, Boychuck put his stick between Raymond's legs rendering him immobile and drove him into the boards full force. Hearing the fans chant "flopper" was gross. To say the fans were a little heated would be an under statement. You couldn't even go into the washroom wearing a Canucks jersey for fear you'd get harassed or peed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During that time there was no love lost between hawks and canucks fans but when I watched it I cringed. Definitely dirty AF! For me personally Philadelphia has the worst fans in all sports followed by Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was chatting up a guy from Philly who absolutely hated Boston and everything about it. He was really wishing us good luck in Boston. And I don't just mean "Good luck in Boston" I mean "I hope you beat those mf'ers brains inside out". LOL Ahhh The City of Brotherly Love.

Popular Post timberz21 Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 Seriously, sad to see people sunking so low around here, wishing bad karma on Boychuk. Some around here have pretty bad memory. First of all, maybe that play was a dirty one, but overall, Boychuk doesn't really have a reputation of being dirty player. 2nd of all, it was the playoff, the SCF nonetheless, people play hard, crosses the line many times, but wishing bad karma on Boychuk is disguting, especially after one of our own and on of the most respected player in the game suffered a similar fate #mannymalhotra. Probably the same people that cheered loudly for our own players antics like Burrows, Kesler, Cooke and Ruutu for many years. I'm pretty sure they all had a few questionnable plays like Boychuk during their career and yet nobody here would wish them any bad karma. Finally, I wasn't around these boards at the time, but i'm pretty sure the same people disgusted by that play, the Bruins fans cheering and calling Raymond a flopper were the same people who defended Bertuzzi, called Moore a flopper and cheered when he got knocked out, like the crowd at GM place did at the time. Can we let it go already, been 10 years almost, get over it. Don't need to congratulate him for his career, but wishing him bad karma, really? This is just sickening, come on! 1 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
