Great game one of the best in a while the atmosphere and pace of game was amazing from start to finish the boys earned their wages tonight

Yeah, it wasn't far off post season pace alright, with a few fights as well. Claude Julien commented on how much he enjoyed it too.

3-2 loss for the Rangers in Boston earlier today. Played ok and Nash scored a super goal, poor goal-tending from Rask imo, but the Bruins just had too much for us. They look like a serious outfit again this season and a great shout for the cup. Chara was immense for them.

Ah feck i shouldnt have read the post, ive recorded the bruins rangers game and was gonna watch it tomorrow morning. Anyways glad the Bruins won. There a better team then the Rangers at the mo IMO. Ill watch it regardless.

Good win for the Rangers last night, Kreider with a hat trick. Talbot looking more and more like a top notch goal tender. I reckon Henrik will be traded in the new year, as do most Rangers.

Excellent end to the circus trip for the Hawks last night. 12 points from 14 is pretty damn good. Think in Raanta too we might have a bit of a gem on our hands. He's looked really good so far this trip and is only going to get better.

Blawkhacks sure look unstoppable
Great depth they have to call on!

Just a heads up but Setanta is €1 for the month. They show 15 NHL games a week.

It's a pity the ducks aren't wearing a classic mighty ducks Jersey for the stadium classic!

On another point, how the hell did the avs lose by 6 goals to the oilers?

Yeah I can't wait til this west conference gets down to the last 10 games, it's gonna be unreal!

I won't comment on Neal, because that is for fans of other teams to debate, but what Shawn Thornton did to Brooks Orpik tonight is amongst the scummiest things I have ever seen. Absolutely classless and he deserves a long, long suspension for it.

Hope Orpik is ok.

Have to agree JoeSoap. Neal's knee was unnecessary but Thornton deserves a lengthy ban for what he did. It was one of the worst incidents I have seen on the ice in a long time.

On a side note and it is insignificant in the greater scheme of things when you look at the incident above, the goal award to the Devils tonight by Toronto was scandalous. Suarez would have been proud of the finish.

Haven't seen it yet, will keep an eye out. Here is Shawn Thornton (0:12 or so, he enters from the bottom left).

Rangers making a balls of things again tonight! How long are they going to give AV after these 2 performances! 15 goals allowed in 2 games(so far)

Tell me about. Painful to watch. The first Devils goal was kicked in, clear as day, I mean. Need to win this.

Staal in the locker room with a possible concussion.

Just seen it there that's disgusting, surely a massive ban for that! There seems to be no instigation from orpik, and Thornton just picks him out and acts as if he's in an mma ring not a hockey rink! I like a good fight but Jesus that's mad!

I hope not only the NHL but the Bruins punish him and heavily!

aaronm13

Absolute scumbag for that attack. Hope he gets the book thrown at him.

MrGee

Thornton lost the head, hopefully Orpik is ok. On the other hand , was an enjoyable game. Great result for the Bruins.

Just watching the game now thanks to this one euro offer for the month.

There really was no need for that at all.
One thing I notice d the bruins doctor was helping out with the pens doctors which I thoughy was a nice thing to do.

Both teams really know how to put in a game. High action game so far. I'm near the end of the second period

Thorton's a thug, always has been. Fits right in at Boston.

Fiery mutant

Thorntons not a thug, an idiot definitely. It was classless, and I lost a lot of respect for him watching that, and speaking as a Bruins fan, he needs to get 15 games for it. In the post game, he was distraught, and knows he has lost the respect of a lot of people due to his actions. I haven't seen a clear enough shot of the Orpik hit on Eriksson, but it did look like a head connection, and the fact Eriksson didn't have the puck may have a lot to do with it.

As for the Neal incident, it was just as classless and dangerous as what Thornton did. But the department of player safety will deal with it and that's enough I guess.

It was a great game, very enjoyable, and the Lucic v Engelland fight had the makings of a classic if they weren't both gassed.

Bit harsh. I think he lost the plot and his actions were completely OTT but I don't believe he is a thug.

Speaking as a Rangers fan.

Just to make ya jealous im goin over to Boston in january and ive tickets to see jets game and predators game


Also, thornton aint a thug, moment of madness which he alone will have to face up to. He said hes friends with orpik off the ice. This is contact sport. This stuff will happen. The original check on Eriksson was very high, he has a history of concussions, without condoning what Thornton followed up doing that original hit may have been interpreted as a hit to take Erikkson out of the game

I would love to see the jets play. You done well getting tickets for the game they sell out fast. Who are the bruins and preds playing

watching the rangers game from last night . Not sure what I make I the nj first goal using the skate.

scottmcb04

I've been to 2 games this year so far, canucks losing 2-1 @ home to Dallas, and avs beating wild @ home in a shootout in Denver last weekend, wild got equalizer with 6 secs left, pretty good game!

Prob get in a couple of more games b4 the end of the year!

It seemed to me that he was flying in feet first and it went in off the skates. It has to be in a 'like kicking a ball motion' to be waived off. Good decision i think.
I follow the Bruins, i picked a period when there was 2 home games in the TD garden within 2 days of eachother. The games turned out to be winnipeg jets v bruins and Nashville Predators v bruins. Im lookin forward to it, beers and Hockey for 5 days. Bring it
