As you said "Bruins the ultimate goon team".. you ought to know the meaning if you follow Vanc...

Your right -- the NHL is a joke specially when it hands out discipline - just look at some of the dirty hits on youtube etc . that got no suspensions .

I don't understand why network TV won't cover the whole series. Show the first two games then skip 3-4.
It's not like everyone can afford cable.
I couldn't make out the logo of the cable company that was going to carry games 3 & 4, when they promo'd it Sat night.

Its VS or Versus and it doesn't make sense as a good cable station either.

After game 4 it all NBC who hopes for game 7 too...

Yes its too bad... Let the players police things for a year or two... Suspend players yes but let them NOT be replaced (team has to play short one guy on the team) for the amount of time the injured player is out.
My son was a hockey player... at 15yrs old he went after another kid after the game during the hand shake of all things... It was a major mess to say the least, both teams/coaches involved etc etc... He was not allowed to play the rest of the playoffs/thrown off the team/thrown out of the league he was in...
When his coach told me all of this I thought it was the right call and in 100% agreement. The next year he was in another league and I told him another move like that and hes done.
He did fine with 0 problems...
The NHL will not act until there is a death... and I think its just a question of time.
The politics is getting right out of hand at the top and those people are going to ruin a great sport...
Oh yes I am a Bruins fan but I would really like to see the Maple Leafs win the cup some year.... I have a reason that I mention some other time.

Canucks are a Goon team????? And Boston is a nice fair playing team that trys to rip someones mouth open??? Why would u try and stick your hands in someones mouth? And then to mock the whole thing in the last game. Even the coach thought it was wrong.
Never seen so many cross checks in front of bostons net with no call. I was kinda thinking that the ref's and NHL commisioner moron want the cup to stay south. With the score of mondays game it almost looks like it fixed.

All Boston did was mock what Vancouver did in Game 2. Turn around is fair play. Fixed? Pretty sure Vancouver has had more PP chances than the Bruins.

With Brendan Shanahan taking over as the Chief guy handing out Discipline in the NHL it will get better .

You and me both.

Ed Fitz, great post.

Are the refs really blind or is the game actually fixed, we still won but what the F%&^. How can the penalties be that lop sided when the then crowd and the TV people see something totally different. Do we have to go to penalty reviews as well. Appears the Refs can't do it.
