Speed Limit 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Saw the whole game and here are my thoughts on this.1. Jagr stuck out like a sore thumb, I haven't seen him play every game but he looked awful, just horrible every shift he took. He was usually the victim of getting too fancy with the puck and having it stripped away with ease.2. Phil Kessel is so sick (in the good way) he's one of the guys that I would watch no matter who he plays for, he's just exciting and I love it.3. Glen Metropolit is a beast.4. Lundqvist was great, I know he didn't have as many chances as Fernandez but I felt like he looked like the better of the two he played everything positionally perfect and his reflexes are sweeet.5. Jack Edwards, now I love this guy as a person, but his play by play is starting to annoy me. Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Edwards, now I love this guy as a person, but his play by play is starting to annoy me.I had never heard of Metropolit before this year, but from the short season so far I love watching him play. He's not one of those guys you're gonna look for to score points every game, but he does sooo many little things right. He plays his position extremely well, and always ends up with the puck. I like to call him a momentum swinger. Link to post Share on other sites

One of the announcers mentioned something like that during one of the games this year. Link to post Share on other sites

troyomac 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 The Bruins could have back to back Masterton winners.Wow Metropolit's really worked hard to get to where he is. Good for him. You don't think Blake will win? Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Not sure why JD just let Metropolit walk. I would probably take him over Jamal Mayers. Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Boston is keeping Lucic for now.http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?articleid=34082...mp;service=pageI'm actually surprised that they would consider sending him down while he's been playing so good.Gameday: Boston @ Montreal. The Habs have had our number for the past couple years. I'm hoping that all changes this year. I'm predicting a 3-2 game, hopefully in favour of the Bruins. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i am very mad at the Bruins...Cost me my Yahoo game by benching Thomas on Saturday... Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 i am very mad at the Bruins...Cost me my Yahoo game by benching Thomas on Saturday...Yeah I was upset at that too, until Manny played a good game. I was really hoping for Thomas to be the #1 guy, it'll be interesting to see how it works out with both goalies playing good. (provided last game wasn't a fluke and Manny keeps playing good) Link to post Share on other sites

I'm predicting a 3-2 game, hopefully in favour of the Bruins.since that year we beat the Bruins after a 3-1 deficit in the 1st round of the playoffs the habs have had the Bruins number. Tonight Julien loses to the team he used to coach. I think we're going to win this one with heart. Link to post Share on other sites
