8 Golden Points: Game 9 vs Canadiens

Canadiens 2 - Bruins 1

8 Golden Points:

1. This is getting pathetic.  You see the Bruins "scored" one goal in the box score.  That's false.  The Canadiens scored on themselves.  Although I will always take it, you have to realize the Bruins CAN'T FRIGGIN' SCORE.  Story of the franchise for the past few years.  And don't give me this Ryder bullshit.  Ryder sucked and would not be helping this team right now.  We have players who can score.  Get your head out of your tooshies and put the puck in the net!!!

2.  Subban finally dropped the gloves with someone.  Although I was hoping for Horton, I wasn't pissed that it was Marchy.  Took three times before the refs allowed this fight to occur.  Marchy is smaller than Subban and got man handled at one point, but he got in a few shots.  Big props to the Gnat for doing something EVERYONE in Boston wants to do.

3. Thomas again and again makes unbelievable saves.  You would think after a while I'd get use to it.  I haven't yet and I don't think I will.  His break away save on Cammalleri was just beautiful and had me jumping all over the apartment (sorry downstairs neighbor).  The B's were winning 1-0 at that point, making that save even more important.  Now let's try and get the players in front of him playing better.

4. Star Wars Part XIII: The Return of Darth Quaider.  I will kindly disagree with  most people's analysis of McQuaid's game.  I thought on the whole he played well.  He was manning the point really well, getting low shots through the net or just wide of the net.  Yeah, he was a minus 2.  He made one mistake that led to a goal.  But I wouldn't say he struggled.  I'd say the whole team struggled.

5. How many opportunities is Peverley going to miss??  This is his second or third break away this season where I literally had no faith the puck would even come close to going in.  I mean if the Habs decided to pull the goalie, he definitely would've scored, but unfortunately there was a goalie there.

6. We brought Horton in here to score.  He had a GOLDEN opportunity tie the game and whiffed.  Horty, you're a goal scorer last I checked.  If you are wide open 5 feet in front of the net, you're suppose to score.  Just a friendly reminder.

7. Exit Wideman.  Exit Ryder.  Enter Pouliot.  From the beginning he had an uphill battle winning me over.  I know I made it rain gross man turds on him previously, but I would've reversed my tone had he showed me anything.  And I mean anything.  He has done NOTHING.  I would rather Caron in the lineup doing nothing than Pouliot in the lineup doing nothing.  At least Caron is gaining NHL experience.  Pouliot sucks.  Trade him.

8. The defending Stanley Cup champions sit in last place.  That's right, the stinking Jets are ahead of us.  The Islanders are ahead of us.  This team needs to wake up really quick or it's going to be a long season.  All those fans they gained last year will go bye bye.  Not like I'll care about that part.  It'll just be easier for me to get tickets.  This will just be a very negative blog.  Maybe change the name to Copper Spokes... ZING!

Next up:  REMATCH against the Habs.  Montreal's a tough place to play, let's hope they step it up.  They lose tonight, there will be some changes.
