How I wish we'd sing Kiss Him Goodbye to Kiss Him Goodbye. There's celebration...then there's rubbing it in. But...it's Boston...I understand.

I don't know about you guys, but I Gonchar might help us out more than we think. He was making really smart plays with the puck. He's always seen the ice well. That vision doesn't go away. If he's used correctly...a deft pickup.

So, Sekac and Eller made it on the PP, eh? ... what a concept ... ... 5-1 ... wouldn't mind 6 or 7 ... Cheers.

Careful, Weise. Don't give the Bruins an excuse to use a stanchion in a future game...

Nothing wrong with what Weise did there.
McQuaid took him into the post.

bad penalty but I like the fact he stood up for Sekaj...the boys will kill it for him...now that was a hell of a period...they have been much better this year not sitting back with leads hope they go out and bury them. If they do get the next one watch out for the cement heads. While I love the fact that PK showed some spunk and leadership in his attempt to stand up for a team mate .... that had to be the stupidest thing he has done all year!! For starters, if Lucic dropped the gloves and pummelled PK (and yes, he would have pummelled PK because he hates PK - in every interview I've seen Lucic doesn't sugar coat it, he really really hate PK) then we will be on the poopy end of that stick. PK in the box or PK on a stretcher is not good news for the Montreal Canadiens. The second reason it was a dumb dumb move, is that if he wasnt on Lucic's "I'm gonna get you radar" he most assuredly is now. Remember how Komisarek goaded Lucic? Lucic stalked him every gamne after that .. horse collared him from behind twice, fought him once and we learned that Komisarek, was not Komisaurus. Let the sleeping bear lie ...

Lucic would not let PK get up once he was down like Borowiecki did ... it must be just me, but I dont think PK won that fight (hockeyfights.com has Borowiecki the winner at 67%). It was mostly a wrestling match.
Whether PK won the fight, or can handle himself in a fight, is really irrelevant. If he fights, the chances of him injuring himself or getting injured are greater. There are 9 million reasons why we should all hold our collective breaths when he fights.

The point is that he will fight anyone....win or loose.

Would we be saying it was leadership move if he was now out of the lineup for 3-4 months with a cracked orbital bone?

In the past the players would have been looking at butterflies when someone ran over one of our young kids. PK did it and I'm glad he did. At least someone stood up to the Lucic the oaf. The bottom line is the team showed the bruins they aren't scared of them.

Had Ryan White done that he would be sitting in the press box or playing for Philly, Oh wait, he did and is. PK brings a lot to the game, fighting a much bigger and seasoned fighter is not one of them. I would feel much better with Tinordi taking on Lucic than Subban, but that will never happen, because Lucic knows that Tinner wouldn't be as easy as Subban, the invite wouldn't even have been there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnuXD6VUWvM

He may have said something but his Gloves were on, stick was in his hands. He looked like he was more interested in drawing a penalty. I agree that in no way should pk be fighting a neanderthal like luchicken and that you are correct that tinordi should fight him and that lucic would not fight tinner, but i applaud pk for going after lucic... it builds team chemistry and helps create a pack mentality.

If Boston had scored, the headline might be "Lucic draws PK into penalty". Instead it reads "PK shows leadership". In this case, both headlines are accurate.

Why does PK or anyone have to respond to Lucy immediately. The game was still young and you wait for the right time and right player to straighten Lucy up. Having your star player do it with a 3-1 lead is just plain dumb. The adage is "take a number and wait for the opportune time". When the score was 5-1, it would have been a grand time to have Weiss have a go with Lucy. Hate to say it but PK looked dumber than Lucy on that play. Had the Bruins scored on the PP and gone on to win the play would have been the turning point and would have been the talk of the league. Had Lucy pummelled PK it would have been the turning point in the season and the joy of the league. You can call it leadership. I call it stupidity and playing right into the Bruins game. If Lucy runs Fleury do people really think Crosby is going to challenge Lucy. PK and the team should see PK as above that crap and not his fight to fight. Others are paid to sacrifice themselves - not PK.

Others are paid to sacrifice themselves - not PK. Do we not all remember White going after Ott with a two goal lead and losing afterwards? The blame was put solely on him and eventually started his departure from the Habs. His play was stupid and reckless and cost the Habs the victory. Yet White was, and in my opinion would still be, the only player who defended his teammates no matter what. He was punished for it and blasted on this forum for his poor decision making and taking stupid penalties. If there is no double standard and we don't want to be like MT, call it for what it is, a dumb penalty. Let Emelin line him up at the blue line again at the end of the game. Hurt him where he can't hurt you, his EGO

Not only do I agree with the two posts above ... But I'd like to add ... How many times have we complained that other teams come after our players when they deliver a clean check? Now our star 9 million dollar stud decides it's his job to do this? Even if he is wearing a C that is not his job. In a risk analysis of Subban challenging Lucic, there are too many things that can go wrong and not nearly enough things that can go right.
I remember back in the early 80s, Montreal was playing Quebec. Larry Robinson was playing terribly. I think it was in the playoffs and Quebec looked as if they could go on to eliminate us. Someone on the Nordiques decided that he'd rub Robinsons face in the loss and challenged him in a scrum after a big hit. Well Robinson tore him a new arse, and he started to play the best I ever saw. You don't wake the bear when he is sleeping

I"m trying to remember, but I don't think it was a cheap shot that Lucic got Sekac with, was it? I hate it when guys run us after a clean check so there's no need to do the reverse when we get hit with a clean check. Yeah, with LUcic you never know and perhaps that's what PK was doing. He's also feeling the pressure to live up to his contract and to become the next leader. But that wasn't a good time to do so. Trouble is, the game is so fast that unless you've thought of it before time, you just react so there's no real thinking or reasoning involved.

Either way, this should be a learning experience for PK. It doesn't make sense to try and track down Lucic; he won't bite. Isn't that what Gainey tried to do with Laraque?

In a lighter vein, the Bruins looked as comical as a befuddled bear trying to ascend a Down escalator.
