And by the way, this crushing defeat with 1.2 seconds left could ONLY happen against Boston. It's like they're cursed. They just cannot beat us!

Remember when the same thing happend against Boston last year in the first or second game last year? When Begin (or Ryder cant remember) scored with life 4 seconds left to win the game.

I actually kind of felt a little sorry for them. Sad way to lose a game for any team. Also that shot was a seeing eye shot. It found it's way between his arm and body.

We always owned them. Then a few seasons ago table was turned. Now we are doing it to them again. I still like the rivalry. Last year with 4 secs left it was Ryder in OT

I cant believe what im reading here guys. 2 BRUINS try to take out Kovalev's knee in the same play! Both in front of the referee! 2 Referee's and Van Massenhoven barely called anything all game just this other fool! Kovalev had every right to be furious, No call on 2 blatant attempts to injure in the same shift! Then when the 5 on 4 isnt doing much Rivet gets a penalty, which im fine with the call but adding the deuce for unsportsmanlike is BS. I dont know how many games ive watched this season where a guy smashes his stick on the ice out of frustration? Hell Sundin the other night broke his stick over the crossbar and no call! Common here people, you dont get unsportsmanlike for asking the Ref what you did wrong. It was pure BS. And the funny part is that Dave Lewis crys after the game about the penalty that the Bruins got at the end of the game, Lashoff looked like Teddy Bruski making a tackle in the backfield for the Patriots.

We all know that Kovalev has had knee problems, so i think if it was one of us with a history of knee problems and 2 Bruins try to take you out on the same shift right infront of the ref and theres no call, you might lose it too.

Bottom Line Big Win, NOW BRING ON THE LEAFS

You're barking up the wrong tree Nilan. Kovalev has become the new whipping boy (on quite a few nights, deservedly so!), so when he has every right to snap, he gets jumped on. The one knee-on-knee attempt is a career ender, so I guess that since he didn't get hurt, he should be just happy. I guess everyone forgets that they were hoping he would show a little fire.
