If this team buckles down and plays better defense than they have been the past few games, Savard coming back won't mean a damn thing. If they continue to play sloppy in their own end and turn it over on four out of five clearing attempts, then Savard coming back will be an issue.

Whatever. Kaleta will freight train his ass into the next galaxy when he inevitably skates up the ice with his head down again.

Man, I hate comments like this. Savrard is a talented guy and to think you'd enjoy watching him get creamed as he's trying to come back from a 2nd degree concussion is fucking sick.

I enjoy watching skilled players do their thing. Sounds like many others would prefer roller derby instead.

There are definitely 2 schools of thought where this stuff is concerned:
-love the ruff stuff
-think it is a distraction from the game

I am of the latter. And don't get me wrong, I like boxing a lot, but those are skilled fighters and it's interesting to watch them square off. It's about polished skill. Watching fights in hockey is like watching a couple drunks outside of a bar on Saturday night. Uninteresting.

I'll never understand why some "hockey" fans are so into that.

I'm not advocating it. I'm just saying it's likely to happen.

I don't like seeing guys get injured. This goes much further than hockey, as we're talking about someone's livelihood.

But Savard, though he's been the victim of some malicious hits, is guilty of not paying attention to his surroundings when he's got the puck on the blade of his stick.

And if he starts to focus on that and play timid, he's not going to be worth jack to the Bruins.

We are in trouble.

Things don't look good for old Buffalo.
I'm sorry. I'm not the type of person to say this wont matter and he will just get injured again. Boston is sweating Momentum...




We are in trouble.

Until they are facing an elimination game, they're not in trouble.

I had a bad feeling about this series before it even started.

Strangely, I'm starting to feel better about it after watching the first two games. I think Boston will dominate the stats, but Buffalo will still come out with the 4 wins.

Ugh. It's so intense. I hope Miller dominates tonight to the point where he seems like Hasek on Performance Enhancers.
