But deliberate attempt to injure - that's a joke. deliberate attempt to save myself from a concussion, more like it. would we have complained if it was a Hab doing the running and a Bruin doing the protecting? no, because the Habs wouldn't do that -- they are, in fact, just remembering that they can protect themselves and don't have to run away from the big bad bullies Bruins. oh, if only MB had signed Larry to teach the d self-protection.

Is Mike Johnson on the Bruins' payroll? No analysis as to why Julien would have Rinaldo on the ice at that time of the game. Didn't see the elbow come up. I wonder if the league will believe Beaulieu when he says he was simply protecting himself from a goon player sent out by a goon coach, considering the time and circumstances. Oh wait....Beaulieu isn't Dustin Byfuglien.... CH you would have loved Coach's Corner last night. Cherry was angry that people are labelling McDavid's injury as a 'hockey play'. Saying the Flyers injured him on purpose. Then goes on to show the Byfuglien hit on Gallagher and defends it as though Byfuglien did Gallagher a favour by letting up. "He woulda killed him!". Hitching his wagon to McDavid and hatred of all things Montreal lives on. It was classic.

Plus you better not watch John Shannon extolling the virtues of Cherry & his lap dog McLean for getting a star on Canada's walk of fame. Their standards must be awfully low.

Gallagher didn't shy away from the incident. Said that Chara "didn't even need to defend" and just had to push Gallagher into the goalie. Apparently there was no explanation given to him or the team afterwards either.

I distinctly saw Chara nudge Gallagher into Gustavsson ... was this reviewed by Toronto, because if they did then Toronto got it wrong ... saw something unusual in the game before, though ... the play had been blown dead and one of the referees went to timekeeper's bench and put the headphones on ... the analyst said that "Toronto" wanted the officials to see something ... I don't know any more than that, but it isn't the first time officials have called down to point something out to the officials ... it's been done before, but I really didn't know this was part of the process ... I thought stuff like that was reviewed upon request of the on-ice officials ... Cheers.

I saw Washington lose a goal last night on even less contact than Gallagher made with Gustavsson. It's seems the goalie can't be touched at all.

Hitching his wagon to McDavid and hatred of all things Montreal lives on. It was classic. Thanks for prompting me to find the segment on YouTube! And, as he's done for decades, he included MacLean as part of the dummies who don't know hockey. MacLean just sits there and takes it. Sold his soul a long time ago. But hey, it got him on the Walk of Fame. From the Sun's site: Hockey broadcasters Don Cherry and Ron MacLean say they’re a team and wanted to be inducted as such into Canada’s Walk of Fame.McDavid is Cherry's new "Orr". He's likely already showing clips of McDavid at his speaking engagements. RE: The Espo-Ratelle trade. When Orr and Park played together with Boston--for 10 games until Orr was done as a Bruin-- "Believe it or not, we won 9 out of 10 games…."Believe it or not, Don….a quick look at hockeydb shows a 6-1-3 record during that stretch of games. 9-1-0 sounds way better, though. The dummies are those who've believed everything you've said for 35 years…. RE: Byfuglien and Gallagher. If Subban had taken a run at a smaller player like that, does anybody think Cherry would've said Subban let up and saved the kid's life? I also notice how he didn't show Byfuglien recently ramming a totally vulnerable Pominville into the boards from behind.

Therrien turned down a chance to call out the Bruins on embellishment. When asked about it he said, "I don't want to go there." He did call out the refs to some extent post game. He complained about the 3 questionable calls in the 1st period. It's unusual for a coach to talk like that after a game. Maybe if enough people complain the league will finally notice how bad Chris Lee is. Chris Lee is probably one of only 3 refs whose names I immediately recognize... (and not in a good way). How can the league not be very aware of how bad he is...

The highlight of the night was Brendan Gallagher's reaction to the refs waving the goal off .... Standing at the bench with his elbow on the boards, he looks at the ref, smirks and opens his hand to give a WTF expression. Video replay is going to wave off these goals 9 times out of 10. The reason is they only show the goalie, not the play developing. I can see why Gallagher's goal was waved off. He did make contact. But it was way before the goal was scored. It's my opinion, they called it no goal, because after making contact there was a very very very small window where he could have tried to get out of the paint. Now mind you, even if he tried, he would have been met by Chara. But I didn't see any attempt on Gallagher's part to get out, and even if he tried it wouldn't have made a difference, With replay, get used to these calls. Actually, I think the goal was mostly waived off because Gallagher got fully into the crease on his own - after that, it's a position battle with Chara but any contact with the goalie is fully on Gallagher since he wanted to be there, in the crease.

I'm pretty sure that the new rule is that a coach can challenge (i.e. ask the ref to review) a goal involving potential interference with the goalie or a goal resulting form a potential offside. In those situations it is the ref who reviews the play on a tablet at the penalty box once the coach makes the challenge. If the coach is wrong they lose their timeout and can not make any further challenges during the game. However the old rule stands on other plays where the folks in TO look at a replay when there is a question such as did the puck cross the goal line. In those cases TO can stop play on their own by having the refs called over to the penalty box and ultimately tell the ref the final decision from TO.

Oh, and I just love how we aren't discussing Price being hurt... Condon isn't Price-like, but he's a very capable fill-in.
I also think having a backup in net makes the guys play a bit better - they know they can't just assume that Price will take care of any and all slip-ups.

I thought Gallagher could have at least tried to look like he was backing off, before Chara pushed into him. It was indeed that split second window, where Gally had some space, but didn't try to get out of the crease. Then when he felt Chara's contact, he really didn't try to back off, but the key point was just before that. I think it would be hard to argue that he didn't interfere with Gust's ability to make a save, but he could have argued that Chara kept him from doing that, if he had moved backwards a bit earlier. Fortunately, it didn't matter. As for Nathan, no matter what happens re a suspension, from now on, he will have this label on him"

I fell in love with Beau on that "here's your lumber necklace". Yes, it's called a "lumber necklace" in the beer league....where I'm no longer welcomed. LOL
That is an absolutely perfect response to a goon trying to go for that late hit. Given how dirty Renaldo is, well desreved if he needs a straw for a few days.

I wonder if Semin will be back next game? Byron looked singularly ineffective today no matter which line he was on and sometimes that's the trigger for Therrien. Wow is Petry a bargain. He'd be the #1 defenseman on a lot of teams in the league and he's on our second pairing. He does so many things well, without fanfare. No flash, but totally effective. Great trade and great signing. Pass the poutine, please. Byron brings an element which we already have....and not what we can use a lot more off. On the other hand....Semin is the weakwst link. DLR....CALLING DLR....

A co- worker for years has been telling me without Price the Habs are nothing ... I haven't so much as spoke to him this year, not wanting to seem like I'm rubbing it in. But I over heard him say on Friday "Without Weise, the Habs are nothing" ... I nearly choked on my drink ...

No suspension for Beaulieu. Love it. Rinaldo gets schmucked in the head and there are no consequences. Weird, since I'm so used to it going the other way. Maybe the NHL just felt he got his just desserts.

Good to hear that Beau walks away. The right call. Should not have been a match penalty anyway.
Glad to see the league's worst embellishment offender, Marchand, is teaching his mates on how to dive. Now, according to Clod, only Montreal dives, his team is spotless in that regard. Right on Clod. Shall we send you the Marchand montage?

Chris Lee is bottom 3-5 ref in a league with more than few bad ones.
Rinaldo is a puny punk with long track record of attempt to injure plays on file in league office. So in this smart league led by smart men, one assumes Beaulieu gets the benefit of doubt. If any one other than Rinaldo deserves blame for Rinaldo eating a stick in face, it is Julien.
Not a great game by the Habs, but they stay in Boston's heads.

Hoping this will get Galchenyuk out of his funk. Eller's and Desharnais' goals were from his rebounds.

Onle reason B's fans are recognizing it was a good penalty call is Krackhead himself said it was a dumb penalty which caused his team the game. What kills me is that if you watch the replay he is in disbelief that the ref made the call. Makes you wonder how much these players actually are aware of their actions during the game. Still think he should have got another 2 minutes for hitting Pleks when Pleks was on the ice after the penalty call. Talk about a freebee!

Among those comments were people comparing that penalty to those that Lucic used to take, and seldom did Milan ever say that he took a bad call. More so, he was never called out on it by the coach as Krejci was here. Perhaps they're becoming somewhat more self-aware?
