Whats the problem? Outside of a bigger guy getting a smaller guy in the head and Pierre McGuire freaking out, I dont see anything too too bad? :unsure:

Hit to the head? Charge? Don't like the bigger guy argument. How many of these hits have you seen from guys like Chara, Hedman, Hanzal, Myers, Boyle? He could easily have hit him from the side, shoulder to shoulder, and crushed Eriksson. Instead he cut in front and ended up hitting his head.

Glad Scott is getting a suspension. Nasty hit on Eriksson, hopefully he is ok.

Yeah, chara prefers to goon from the side.

Way to add relevancy to the discussion.

Curious HFFO, how many Habs fans phone the police on this hit?



or this one

Chara needs to fight Scott the next time they meet imo.
Thornton is tough, but Scott just has too much size on him (Thornton is a pretty small heavy weight)

i realize we dont wanna trade Chara for Scott for 5mins, but we should be able to survive 5mins without Chara against the Sabres.

Hiller is God

Krug and Smith signed to 1 yr, 1.4mil deals

Bruins can be cap compliant with Savard LTIR activated. Advantage Chiarelli

RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

So excited to finally have them signed! :ahh!:

I think we're worse on paper this year than we were last year.
We'll see what happens tho...pumped for Wednesday

I think that we're still the top team in the East. Iginla had a good release but he had no wheels.

RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

We lost Iggy and Boychuk and brought in nobody.
Loui on the 1st line makes the 3rd line that much weaker.
I think we'll finish top 2 in the East still, but we are definitely worse on paper imo

I guess you could say we added Seidenberh, but still

I think Bartowski can replace some of Boychuk, Hamilton a year older amd Seidenberg backs
