Never cared much for hockey. Even though I'm in Bruins country, I hope they lose because I severely dislike Tim Thomas.

I don't like the Bruins either. Because Chara (the Bruins Captain) choked in the playoffs with Ottawa and stepped up his game now that he is in Boston.

Maybe he needed the big contract or the Captain's "C" to play up to his potential. But I can certainly do without seeing him win more Stanley Cups.

I don't follow the regular season any more. When I saw this thread I went to NHL.com , I was pleasantly surprised to LA, St Louis, Nashville and Phoenix in the playoff hunt. They were among the worst teams in the league a few years ago.

I was also very sad to read about the number of quality players hurt by hits during the game. The following seems to be the most blatant incident.

>>>>NEW YORK -- Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres has been suspended for 25 games for launching himself to deliver a late hit to the head of Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa during Game 3 of the teams' Western Conference Quarterfinal playoff series in Chicago on Tuesday, April 17, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.

Should the 25 games not be served by the conclusion of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the remaining games of the suspension will carry over into the following regular season. Torres will be prohibited from playing in any preseason games until he has served this 25-game suspension (playoff and regular-season games).

Should the suspension carry over to next season, because he is classified as a repeat offender under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Torres will forfeit $21,341.46 in salary for every regular-season game in which he is ineligible to play.<<<<

When a professional golfer addresses the ball, everyone is deathly quiet. I have no doubt but that if a heckler – or even a supporter- were to shout at the crucial moment he or she would be escorted off the grounds.

In professional basketball a foul is penalized by awarding the offended player one or more free throws, if it is an egregious one the offender is sent to the showers.

In American football, a 'hit' after a play is penalized; his team is set back significant yards.

In hockey they attack each other with sticks and fists, and everyone accepts it. Why? Seriously: Why?

Having been a Caps fan (in Bruins country) for the past 20 years, I should be used to this level of stress. Hoping desperately that they win Game 7 but half expecting them to lose because that's what I've been programmed for after 20 years. Anyhoo...

Ebbie... sticks... no. Fists... no. There are penalties. However, they are not severe enough IMO. And, far worse are dirty, blind hits. The worst is when a large player drags a small player into a fight so he can beat the shit out of him... when that piece of shit captain Chara of Boston hoisted the Stanley Cup I was both disgusted with and ashamed by the NHL. Sickening. Just sickening.

I am not necessarily violent man but I would dearly love to see Chara leave on a stretcher after being taken out by a much smaller Cap. Of course, I would wish him a quick and full recovery. Even tho the thug doesn't deserve it.

Sorry about my rant but I just can't abide his dirty, thug... ooooh me BP is up. Deep breaths. Ommmmmmmm....

Well I gotta pull a bit for the Bruins because Marchand's a boy from home. Now some may say Chara ain't no Lady Byng contender and some may say the same of the much smaller and tougher Marchand. I am old enough to remember when Stan Mikita started with the Hawks. Marchand reminds me of the young and dirty Mikita who developed into both a Byng winner and one of the games greatest clutch players.

Sure do remember Stan standing up in the penalty box turning to the crowd and egging them on. Then he turned his gave 180 degrees around.

gnu, I guess you speak of the hit on Max Pacioretty, and it was vicious! I am no fan of Chara but if memory serves me right the damage was mainly done by the post at the end of the bench. Chara is huge and makes use of his size and I don't like him, but circumstance made this one much worse than it might otherwise have been. Adrien, Rudy Pilous tried in vain to keep Mikita from taking stupid penalties. When he finally got it through his skull that he could not score from the sin bin he became the best player in the NHL. He won the Art Ross, The Hart, and the Lady Bing and first all-star two cosecutive years. I dont believe that has been done before or since!
