[Rollie]

Here's a link - to Kalman's Bruins Blog that I just read. It gives you Recchi's quotes in proper context. It also says it was 6 days later that he went to the movies, or whatever. So my mistake, when I said it was 4.

Max, I disagree about Chara finishing his check; players are told that they MUST seal that play. Pacioretty was skating as fast as he could in order to make the play and so was Z; Chara needs to keep his finish low, though - obviously not the easiest thing to do when a guy is 6' 9".

As for environment, it's pretty obvious that there are elements in play that are contributing to injuries. I'm interested in how the competition committee and the league will address these issues moving forward - they ARE a factor (certainly not the only factor, and often not the largest factor). I'm also interested in seeing whether or not MTL's organization will look into improving their glass, etc. Players really do hate that shit.

Anyway, My buddies are coming over and I have to go grab some sushi. To be continued, no doubt...

Wow, Rollie.

Nothing like taking Mark and I's heat of the moment comments to suit your needs. And two weeks after the incident, no less. Maybe you should take a look at when the overwhelming majority of those posts were made, 1 minute to 1 hour after the hit, and take that into context. That would make more sense, wouldn't it?

And go and take alook at the Bruins Board on the Hockey's Future forum to see their reaction when the play happened, and you tell me that you wouldn't feel absolutely enraged, with such comments as "I hope he dies", "He deserved that", and "Well, at least one positive came from the game tonight"

Whatever, what is done is done.

Game on, tonight, bitch.

oh shit that was you Rollie? I didn't know it was you!

Only 1 or 2 or the quotes that I replied to were from March 8th - most were from the few days after it, and several from quite recently. And Sergio, I understand people make heat of the moment comments. That doesn't mean I can't address them later, when I see them - especially those that advocate violence on one of my favorite players - Bergy.

And how have I taken your comments to "suit my needs"? How did I do that? What are "my needs" in this instance? I'm just offering opinions, that differ from our local band of Merry Montreal fans, and other Ice Capades enthusiasts that currently occupy this board... as I said I eventually would.

See. Now I'm being inflammatory, Max.

I didn't post much immediately afterwards - as in March 8th, when I posted "Hope MaxPac is alright, blah, blah, blah" - because I wanted to let you boys settle. It looked traumatic, and I understand how important the player is to your franchise. He's size, youth and skill - which you badly need. More to the point, my sister arrived for a conference on the 8th - that's why I didn't actually see the game. She stayed with me for a week, my parents came and stayed with me so they could visit, I had a friend on my couch for a bit - plus life goes on. I'm sorry - I've been busy, or I would have posted earlier.

Last night I was online, and saw our incredibly intimidating resident internet tough guy... ... quoting a high character player completely out of context, and then talking about how if he were on the ice with Rex, he'd do him up, or some such nonsense...

Because he's soooo big, and soooo strong, and tough behind his little 'puter screen... anyway, it inspired me to take some time and fire this all back up. In time for tonight, of course.

And what's with using a 'Hockey's Future' board to justify what YOU say? From a Bruins thread no less... what are you even doing there? You're a closet Bruins fan, just admit it already.

Also, I know you're local, so Bruins fans are in your heart, but all fan bases have retards. Now might be a good time for me to enjoy your response to this shitty publication's totally silly piece on fan bases... here you go...

Anyway, things will be hot tonight. Can you imaging if Boston draws Montreal in the playoffs? The legendary rivalry intensifies again...

It's on, ya hobags.

*Hits Rollie from behind with a violent crosscheck in the number*

oh shit that was you Rollie? I didn't know it was you!

So, tough guy...

A cross check from behind, or just boarding from behind?

You mean like this?


I must have superimposed Patches there, because based upon your owners letter (where he can't stand for any violence in hockey) and Pacioretty's statement (about how he's not upset at the NHL's ruling on his own behalf - but because now other players will be victims of the Z monster in the future), this hit absolutely couldn't have been perpetrated by him.

Mark, congratulations, you are now officially "internet tough guy #1" on Juventuz.

 

[Mark]

You should love me Rollie. I'd fit right in to your team although I'd have reasons to defend my teammate while the Bruins don't need an excuse .

btw, Pacio admitted that hit was wrong so.

- your resident tough guy.

Thanks for the new name. Didn't think I was attacking you when posting I'd defend my teammate if I was playing for the Habs.

 

[Enron]

I hope Montreal goes all Lilliputian on Chara tonight. Tying his ass to the ice and poking him with sticks like a bunch of Francophone pygmies.

 

[KB824]

Now hold on a second.

Justify what I SAY? What exactly did I say? That I thought that it was a dirty hit and I thought that Chara was a dirty piece of shit?

Please FUCKING TELL ME how that is the same as "I hope he dies", "He deserved it", and "At least something good came out of the game". Give me a fucking break. Did I wish any injuries to any of the Bruins players after that hit? Please read what I had typed AGAIN.

Oh wait, that's right, you can't tell me that is the same, because it isn't.

And Max Pac didn't say what he said afterwards so that others should be afraid of the "Z Monster" (how old are you, 12?) in the future. He was talking about similar instances like that.

Its bad enough that I hear bullshit from all the Bruins fans here in new england (Kinda Funny, since most of them wren't even close to being born the last time the Bruins won a Stanley Cup), but now I have to hear it from you? that's just rich beyond all comprehension.

I've hated the Bruins for over 30 years now, but have never hated a Bruins fan.

Until Now.

Is Charlie Sheen anything like Afro Sheen?


Hey, is that Michael Vick in that video?

 

[Mark]

I'm ready to fight LET'S GO!!! *helmet off* *gloves off* *tin foil ready*

 

[Bjerknes]

Definitely watching this one tonight.

But the Chara hit was definitely malicious and deserved more than what he got.

 

[Enron]

I don't care if you hate Chara, you clearly have GOT to understand the massive difference here. Matt Cooke is, quite literally, the ultimate scum of the league. Repeat offender, specifically for head shots, dangerous player. Scum.

You said scum twice in that post. You're probably correct in both cases.

I wasn't defending Cooke. Cooke is one of my least favorite players on the Pens. I agreed that he deserved the suspension. I loath the fact that he's on our team, if we need enforcers present we have Godard and Rupp.

I thought Chara should have gotten some sort of suspension as well. That's all.

 

[KB824]

I let this fucking thing go 2 weeks ago, and now its getting brought up again, and its pissing me off now more than ever before

 

[Rollie]

Yeah, the name has a nice ring to it, doesn't it... a certain, je ne sais quoi....

By the by, I didn't think you were attacking 'me'.

Montreal could really use a player like you, to police things out on the ice.

Wait, defend your teammate from what? The sheer brutish rage of a 43 year old Mark Recchi verbal attack? He made some comments that some people didn't like, but what is there to 'defend teammates' from?

And if you're referring to the MaxPac debacle, I didn't know that Bergeron was the one who hit him. Considering your new role as enforcer had him clearly in your sights

As for Pacio admitting the hit was wrong, that's good of him to do; I maintain that a lot of guys are hypocritical about all of this stuff though.

I saw Marchand talking about the Cooke suspension the other day, and it made me cringe - even if Brad is only a first time offender.

I also saw that piece of shit Ott talking about head shots after taking one... that guy is a filthy player. Of course, now he's ready to sing a new tune. Anyway, there's just too much hypocrisy in a lot of reactions about this kind of thing, that's all. I don't like the holier than though approach to this stuff, which is why I brought up ownership and Pacio.

And I also maintain that I want to see the league address the environment issues. I know it's somewhat taboo to talk about equipment and glass, etc., surrounding these injuries, but frankly, if not now, when?

 

[Bjerknes]

Lets hope the Habs get some clean payback then, Serge.

 

[Enron]

Don't let it get to you. I don't think Rollie means to be malicious.

 

[Mark]

Definitely watching this one tonight.

But the Chara hit was definitely malicious and deserved more than what he got.

what you'll see tonight is:

close game: probably nothing will happen or just a fight between White and Campbell. White can't go with Thornton, Lucic...but he might be forced too if they go at him.
3 goals or more difference: Lucic going to Pouliot and break his face because he knocked Krejci out cleanly once...PK's knee taken out and Price on a stretcher.
We're going for

Yeah, of course they'll be a lot of hypocrisy when the dirty teams suffer a dose of their own medicine. That's to be expected and thus why now you, as a Bruins fan, have no right to complain about what could possibly happen tonight or elsewhere.

It should be quite the spectacle. But nobody wants to see a lot of top players getting injured.

 

[KB824]

It doesn't even matter if they win tonight, the Bruins still have 2 games in hand. Montreal blew by losing to Buffalo at home on Tuesday. Absolutely blew it

I just want a clean game

If I'm stupid I fight Chara one on one so I either use my stick or hit Bergeron cleanly to give them a message to stop hitting our players. This as nothing to do with being at home behind my computer. That's what i,d want our players to do but we'll probably just let it go and go for the win.

at Recchi he should just get his mouth shut up. You can't say the medical staff faked or embellished a serious injury.
