Bears eat seafood GNT

The Bruins come off a great win in a battle with the stars and look to keep the momentum going against a very good Sharks team. This should be a good game with our old friend Joe Thornton coming back to Boston. LET'S GO BRUINS

Five years ago...Jumbo tossed.

Joe never figured out how to walk that line between gritty and dirty... he's a either pillow soft nice guy out there, or a bad penalty taking maniac. I know it's not easy to play the game as a big guy, you have to learn how to avoid letting your size take penalties for you, and you can end up being more timid than you want, but Joe always seemed like he had more trouble figuring it out than most.

Yeah, I don't think Joe was a dirty player, he just never seemed to know how to play hard without taking dumb penalties.

The other 90% of the time, he plays with all the tenacity of Robert Reichel.

Friggin Reichel, I loathe him...

That Shawn Thornton is one hell of a player!

He's having a pretty good year. 8 goals, 17 points and taking care of business when needed

Also I think he is having a better plus/minus season than Joe. Joe I think is a -12. Ugh!!

Thornton is +6. Not bad for an enforcer

 

[beantownmaniac]

GAME ON!!!!

 

[beantownmaniac]

I can't believe Jeff hasn't shown up yet. Maybe he's working some OT today

 

[beantownmaniac]

Anyone else here?

 

[beantownmaniac]

I wish Horton could one-time them like Neely used to.

 

[Slimpikins]

Damn it Boston, what's with the early start? Some of us on the West Coast are hung over.


Why do Boston fans boo Jumbo? He got traded it's not like it was his choice to leave.
