It’s a Tactic…..the Old Mind F**K!

I have been purposely not watching the Bruins as of late for two reasons.

1. They SUCK. I mean, seriously. They really SUCK.

2. I am preparing to launch an all out assault on the Plasma for the playoffs.

MOL will have no idea what hit her in a couple of days. So, while I have been subjected to more Rachel Ray, and Lifetime movies than I care to admit over the last couple of weeks it will all payoff when I get to watch the Carolina Hurricanes march all the way to the Finals! (Insert Evil Laugh here)

As such, I missed a couple of scraps. Anyone see the Orr/Erksine rematch the other night? I see the Bruins have had a couple of fights too? Were they any good?

I have a very busy weekend planned. MOL and I are having Pizza and beers tonight and then going to meet a friend for beers. Saturday is Laurie’s Birthday celebration at Cleary’s in Boston. I shall attend after I am done at the Lockmonsters game. Then Sunday is Easter, followed by the final Monsters game of the year, and the traditional end of year party. Always a good time by the way. I have a great story from last year’s event that I will tell at another time. Have a good weekend to all, and Happy Easter.

Turn out the Lights

Finally the Bruins have gotten on the board with a fight last night in Chicago. Nice work by Gregory Campbell to try to spark the boys. Not much of a scrap, but good on Soupy to get it started. The fight I wanted to talk about happened Thursday between Pittsburgh's Arron Asham, and Washington's Jay Beagle. It was a bit of a one sided affair, and the fight got the hockey world talking. Personally, I thought it was a good scrap, and had to be done, but others don't see it that way. The fight s...

Turning the Page

We are now 9 games into the NHL season, and there has been a total of 1 fight. One. Uno. That's not a lot. It was a decent scrap in yesterday afternoon's contest between LA's Kyle Clifford, and the Rangers Brandon Prust. I am not here to offer any analysis on why there has only been one fight, I'm just saying, there hasn't been many. https://youtu.be/NpGTNXVIHGM The Flyers and Bruins sure could have used one the other night. I was certain Andy Ference and Zac Rinaldo were going to have ...

Beginning of the End of Fighting in the NHL?

I really don't want this to come across as cold, and selfish, but does anyone else worry that the recent deaths of enforcers in the NHL will have negative ramifications on the ice? The harsh reality is that we live in a world of knee jerk reactions. Someone gets killed on a road; speed bumps are installed the next day. Could we be witness to some radical changes this season with regards to fisticuffs? The concussion issue is a hot topic in the NHL right now. Things had to be evaluated when Ma...

STILL Believe in the Bruins

Gee whiz, this bandwagon is getting a lot easier to steer with all these people jumping off. For those of you that remain, please get comfortable. You are in for a great ending! For those of you that jumped off, enjoy the Red Sox or whatever the hell else there is going on in Boston right now. For me, it's all black and gold, all the time. I still believe, and you should too. The Bruins are in a win one on the road and win it all situation that I find appealing. If they had won the other nigh...

About Chris

Chris is from the hardscrabble streets of Concord, MA. A born hockey player, he’s lead every league he’s ever played in – from street hockey in front of the house, to the California Penal League in PIM. In High School his dreams of playing in the NHL were shattered when he was introduced to Budweiser and the United States Marine Corps. That, coupled with the fact there isn’t much call for a 5’6? defenseman who skates like he has a parachute attached to his hindquarters, dashed his dreams of one day playing in the show. Always a fan of the tough guys, his love of hockey and hockey fights has continued to this day. Chris currently resides in Fitchburg, MA with his beloved Beez. At least until she comes to her senses and kicks him out. Chris would love to hear your personal goon experiences and stories so please feel free to email him, anytime.
