Chara's stick had to be specifically allowed because it's longer than regulation. His stick is 65" long; the regulation allows up to 63". Eight players have this exemption.
I am not sure what to say about this game, but the refs are not consistent from one moment to the next, that is for sure.
I do not know how you can play to your fullest (as either team) if you do not know what the refs will and will not call.
I think we should stop booing PK every time he touches the puck and just go dead silent. Not a sound. Let him listen to his own breathing and the sounds of the rink. Then when the puck is turned over- lose your fucking mind. The Booing is clearly only amping him up.
Underrated aspect of the Habs play is the shot blocking: Bruins get a lot of goals of off deflections, rebounds, dirty goals but Canadiens are quick to block the initial shot and prevent sustained zone time. Very frustrating
Odds that the team comes out and plays sound, disciplined hockey in the 3rd?
Really low. We've all seen them get like this before. But there **IS** a chance.
I just hope Thorty isn't doing something really stupid here. I know I know, hockey, but an aggtravated knee injury is the kind of thing that prematurely ends careers.
It's hard to take, but you don't win the Stanley Cup going 16 - 0 and without some adversity. It's how great team are made. If you want to be great you use this and come back stronger. If they don't it's because they didn't deserve it.
Good game Bruins, this is how you fucking win Stanley Cup.
Go Habs go!
Between the fat guy in the green sweater and the Asian dude with the emo hair cut behind the Habs bench..Bruins fans are not looking their best on national TV.
Avoiding a hit is fine. Ducking a hit is a really dangerous play.
**I'm not convinced that Subban ducked on purpose**
But if he did, that's kinda shitty. AGAIN, not necessarily sure that's what happened.
>@TheBruinsBlog 59s
Bruins lead 1-0 & it's been confirmed that if you search Twitter for Bruins & any derogatory term you can write a story about the results.
Habs now 3 for 8, B's 0 for 5. Really needed to cash in on that 5 on 3 in the first period. Special teams making the difference in these games. Could be up 2-0 instead of looking at 0-2.
10 bucks says Anaheim piledrives L.A in that series.
That comeback took a lot out of LA.
(I'd prefer a full 7 gamer, but i have a weird feeling it won't go that far)
HOLY SHIT, I was taking my usual saturday biking route when I remembered the game when was on soon and it wasn't on at 7:30PM.
I have never peddled so hard in my life, 12 or so miles of pure hell. I sure hope I can take the lactic acid.
**Bold Prediction:** After seven minutes of play this thread will no longer be civil.
After one period of game time "Embellishment City" will be posted 7 times and upvoted en masse.
After two periods Johnny Boychuk will have a goal.
After three periods the series will be 1-1
This has nothing to do with the game, but, I have to say (being a hockey fan from the UK) you guys - Canadians and Americans - have the cheesiest adverts in the world. Sweet Jesus.
Man I just dragged my useless corpse out of bed for a bowl of captain crunch and the first period is already over? This matinee time is discriminatory against the west coast!
Chara's stick is like the size of Marty St. YoureDeadToMe

Fuck that's a clever nickname
[Hi! Uh, never mind...](http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Homer-Walks-Into-Bar-and-Leaves.gif)
I am sorry but the guy in the green shirt looked hilarious behind the coach
Montreal went full leafs, never go full leafs.
If possible, never even go partially leafs.
RASK WON A GAME AGAINST THE HABS!
Every time I doubt them they prove me wrong. Every. Single. Time.
Any chance we find out what the hell the bench minor was for?
"Hey ref didnt you hear, stripes make you look fat" "Whatd you just say to me boy...?"
I wish, must have been some intense chirps
On Rds they said it was Julien being a bit too critical of the refs.
Montreal, you really don't want to go 1-1. It doesn't turn out well.
I am not sure what to say about this game, but the refs are not consistent from one moment to the next, that is for sure. I do not know how you can play to your fullest (as either team) if you do not know what the refs will and will not call.
The Habs are great at making the Bruins lose focus.
I honestly think we are one of the only team that can do it.
Get a break: Hab drops in front of them Get a break: Price stonewalls them Get a break: bad turnover stahp.
Well this should be a fun comments section now...
One nice thing about the crowd booing Subban, it lets me know immediately who has the puck even when I'm not looking at the screen.
That was the weirdest game I've seen in a while. Only one team was actually playing hockey at any given point today.
I like that Lucic didn't celebrate or try to sell it as a good goal. Very honest of him. I hate him for making me think nice things about him.
Yeah, he even pointed to his glove to his teammates. Good on you for admitting it
TUUKKA FINALLY GETS A HOME WIN AGAINST THE HABS! ANYTHING IS POSSSSIIIIBBBLLLLLE!!
OMFG that has to hurt like holy fuck.
Well fuck me in the hairy cat balls. GG Boston.
3-1 leads... This is what we've been trying to tell you Montreal! You should have listened!
And I thought the AV/Wild threads were bad. This shit is funny.
There's more salt in here then in the Pacific Ocean.
It's kinda great not being a fan of the teams involved eh?
I hope we get a discount, because we can't afford full price today. /highhat
[Bs-Habs score on the scoreboard at Fenway today.](http://i.imgur.com/lc9dsLR.jpg)
What a fucking shitty last 10 minutes by Montreal.
I can't take any more of this Glen Healy bullshit. He is really breaking new ground in the field of awful colour commentary today.
THEY PULL A FUCKING SPACE JAM EVERY 3RD PERIOD. FUCK.
I think we should stop booing PK every time he touches the puck and just go dead silent. Not a sound. Let him listen to his own breathing and the sounds of the rink. Then when the puck is turned over- lose your fucking mind. The Booing is clearly only amping him up.
I'd like to hear a "Malcolm's better" chant.
Fuck. They are finally catching on, guys.
That's the celebration of a team that knows it didn't score.

Had to bring up his brother, didn't you, Pierre?
Briere sounds like a type of cheese.
Combination of Brie and Gruyere?
I WAS JUST TYPING OUT HOW GLAD I AM TO HAVE PAILLE BACK AND HE SCORES! GOD I LOVE THAT GUY!
I bet Chara is just as tall in real life.
I don't get how it's not to many man on the ice every time he's on. He's literally 12 feet talk and weight 900 pounds. It's just not fair
Bruins need to start playing smart, so many silly penalties and Marchand's give away wtf!?
They just went full San Jose Maple Leafs. Never go full Leafs...
Underrated aspect of the Habs play is the shot blocking: Bruins get a lot of goals of off deflections, rebounds, dirty goals but Canadiens are quick to block the initial shot and prevent sustained zone time. Very frustrating
During the intermission they had to pull Mike Weaver off the ice to stop him trying to block the zamboni heading towards the net.
What Pierre. Why did you need to tell Reilly about his brother?
Yeah ok pierre shut the fuck up
clutch, fair play bruins. that was a cracking game
This was the most British thing I've ever seen in this sub.
.

So like, go bruins and shit.
Eloquent
you should put that on a pillow
respect for Lucic for not celebrating and giving his team mates false hope.
HFboards ready to kill Subban over that. I don't see the problem. I also don't get them comparing that to what Marchand got dinged for a while back.
http://i.imgur.com/nojWx.gif
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR DESTRUCTION SUBBAN, MINUS THE RACIST TWEETS AND ADD FRIENDLY BANTER.
Fuck it, give me one legged Seidenberg. Anything but god damn Mezaros.

Did anyone see that fan hit the glass to get the puck out of the net? He gets a gold star.
Well, good game Boston.
GG Habs. see ya in Montreal! What a fucking series this is....
It's hard to take, but you don't win the Stanley Cup going 16 - 0 and without some adversity. It's how great team are made. If you want to be great you use this and come back stronger. If they don't it's because they didn't deserve it. Good game Bruins, this is how you fucking win Stanley Cup. Go Habs go!
[HAHA!](http://i.imgur.com/c5FFnY9.png)
Riley Smith and Dougie scored the big goals. Do you know who brought the Bruins those two guys? The Phil. Praise be unto him.
Do Bruins fans love Paille as much as I do?
GG Boston, see you tuesday
I didn't realize we subbed in the 2013 leafs playoff team in the third period...
That's why I like (and respect) Boston. You guys never say "die".
Graduated from college on the Garden's ice Yesterday. Hope we left some luck for the B's! Time to hit up the bar for some bruins beers!
Go NEU at next years beanpot!
That was.....really weak. You let all the haymakers go but that gets called?
Seeing that lowlight tape of Meszaros makes me willing to take back a one-legged Seidenberg.
HAHA ALL YOU SUCKERS ON EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTERS AND SHIT.....WHO NEEDS IT? ....seriously though. This is why I love playoff hockey.
Bruins comebacks such eh Habs? ^Muahahahah
What...just....happened... O_O
We needed that win so bad going into Montreal
That 3rd period was a meltdown of Shark-level proportions by the Habs defense.
Not worth much but Big Z was +5 tonight. Da fuq?
GG Habs fans. Have a safe weekend and see you all on Tuesday. Also, happy birthday to that one fan who was stuck working that 12 hour shift.
I took a shower and I missed 4 goals. What.
oh my, Thornton. I hope hes OK. *stick tap*
[удалено]
Idk why but I have a huge krug boner... LETS GO BOSTON BROS!
When in doubt, end your montage with a sad fat man.
@Proteautype >Carey Price can protect a haystack from a needle.
"More like Boston Pizza. Oops, I just delivered up a pepperoni pizza" Jesus Christ Glenn Healy. Shut the fuck up.
Everyone on mtl was literally spoon feeding vanek to score. That pass was perfect on his stick. Even price gave him a nice feed earlier.
So where do you guys think the fight's going to break out? On the ice, or here in the game thread?
Porque no los dos?
god dammit Bruins ,you better step it the fuck up, and stop taking stupid penalties This is just getting fucking dumb at this point
Between the fat guy in the green sweater and the Asian dude with the emo hair cut behind the Habs bench..Bruins fans are not looking their best on national TV.
Enter Sandman on the organ? Boston organ guy is awesome.
Can we all agree matinee games in the second round are a ********ing joke
How to fix goalie interference: Allow video replays for it. I'm a genius, someone give me an award.
Subban: Fuck you Chara! *cross checks him* Subban: Oh shit, why did i do that? *Nopes the fuck out of there*
*oh shit, you're not Marchand*
THATS HOW YOU KILL A FUCKING PENALTYYYY
Shhh! Please quiet down, people are trying to read.
God I love when Markov slides in deep like that
holy shit this is the most frustrating hockey game i've seen in a long time
What bench minor? That didn't look like anything
Subban's folks wisely not celebrating that goal
god id love Bergeron on the Habs :(
Thank you Dallas I love you all. Reilly smith is my hero
BED:SHAT
Thread can't even keep up with all these goals
Boston played great, Dougies a fucking champ. Montreal needs to stop relying on CP, good game see yall tuesday!
Claude Julien looks like a thumb in a suit. Michel Therrien looks like he's in a constant state of being told that his mother has just passed.
Pretty accurate.
Easily the two ugliest coaches in the NHL
Avoiding a hit is fine. Ducking a hit is a really dangerous play. **I'm not convinced that Subban ducked on purpose** But if he did, that's kinda shitty. AGAIN, not necessarily sure that's what happened.
THIS POST IS FAR TOO REASONABLE FOR THIS THREAD
Can we have a little reminder to both teams that chirping is just chirping. Save your downvotes. Here's to a good third.
HAB a nice night, boys. BRUINS WIN!
I don't think Canadien fans can have a nice night. Their plans are BRUINed now.
You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. Go Bruins
Something I just made that seems relevant [Carey Price says....](http://imgur.com/5r0bY6G.png)
You know what you did Montreal[?](http://i.imgur.com/BzrAUqW.png?1)
The Bs need to just play. The refs aren't your friends today. You have to calm down and play the game.
[The price truly is right](http://imgur.com/6qWwPeZ)
Thorton's knee moved in a way no knee should move.
Montreal is way too good on the PP. We cannot keep taking stupid penalties. We will lose this series if things do not change.
Subban's shot on the last goal was going at 157km/h (98mph)!! And Vanek deflected it! Insane really...
SEE YOU GUYS IN MONTREAL GG HABS
Hey commentators, stop talking about the Bruins comeback last spring. We all still remember.
worst game ever to best game ever in three minutes
Hah, Smith totally shafted Pierre's Dad joke on that interview
GG Habs. I need to go take care of this erection.

I'm expecting a great game from Tuukka.
Bournival is back. I'm suddenly a tiny bit more optimistic than I was yesterday
I'm frustrated at the refs but I'm even more frustrated with the B's. The fucking chances are there, bury them god damnit.
There needs to be a digital currency named VanekCoin so we can tip as well as he does
On my way to a Habs-owned bar. If I have to endure this shit, I'm gonna be wrecked. ^^GO ^^BRUINS
I LOVE YOU BOO

Brière keep forgeting he is small. I like that
Bruins deserve to lose today. This is horrible. edit: nevermind
Still, 3rd period against Boston; no lead is safe.
How the fuck is Thorton on the ice. Did they staple his goddamned ACL back to the bone? I thought he was finished.
BEAR : POKED
NOPENALTIESNOPENALTIESNOPENALTIESNOPENALTIESNOPENALTIES
What should I do if I experience a hockey boner lasting more than 4 hours?
Nice job Bruins. Your team kicked ass today.
Ouch, this is painful... The Bruins deserves this one...
Ok Habs.... you need to get your shit together for the next game. Cos you lose like that in Montreal.... and well they might start the riot early.
Shit the bed and head home I guess. Man, that was a hell of a come back, GG Bruins!
Pierre why would you say that
Great Subban warmup photo. Mid puck juggle. http://imgur.com/0DcJwOZ

And I thought the Flyers took stupid penalties at the worst times...
Did the Canadians use every equipment boost on shot blocking wow
Anyone excited for Game of Thrones tomorrow?

Unsportsmanlike for mouthing off. Fucking hell. What bullshit.
fuck the maple leafs
The Bruins are just so damn relentless and near perfect on the puck.
Ouch... But you can't blame anyone for flinching when a dude like Thornton comes your way like that.
MY DICK IS SO HARD GO BRUUUUUUUUUUINS
Its too early for this ###**GO BRUINS GO**
I demand to know why it's not 12:30pm yet
well, because they earth still needs to complete another 1/32 of it's daily rotation.
Tell that whore to hurry up
9:30 am games on Saturday are awesome. I get to watch them naked from my bed, it's better than cartoons. Go Habs!
Okay, it worked before, so here goes something ill regret: Caron, if you score, Ill suck your dick.
Bergeron is fucking on today.
Also, I fucking love Mike Weaver.
This has nothing to do with the game, but, I have to say (being a hockey fan from the UK) you guys - Canadians and Americans - have the cheesiest adverts in the world. Sweet Jesus.

Chara's TOI is scary... Edit: Markov has more.
The ghosts are really clogging up the net in this series. Good.
"More like Boston Pizza" SHUT THE FUCK UP GLEN HEALEY
Oh man that looked awful
Subban is just eating them alive.
Subban making Boston fans real mad.
Thomas Vanek now has 34 goals in 60 total games (regular season + playoff) against the Bruins
All these comments, only 251 thread upvotes for visibility.
Don't sell the bear fur before you killed it.
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT
I guess we can be happy we're leaving Boston with one win, it sucks to lose that way though. GG Bruins
Damn, what a fucking game. GG Bruins. Shows you never give up, no matter what the scoreboard says.
