It is because they are so frustrated with the Habs because Montreal has owned the Bs. The Habs' team speed exploits the weaknesses of players like Chara and Boychuk. Even in the last game, the Habs kept coming back to make the game close. The reality is the Bruins are afraid of the Habs, not the other way around.MCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-30766373415151684122011-03-07T16:52:47.959-11:002011-03-07T16:52:47.959-11:00We dont have the toughness throughout the lineup t...We dont have the toughness throughout the lineup to deal with everything the bruins can throw at us if they chose. We can lessen the problem by subbing Mara in for Weber and White in for Pyatt. Sopel is tougher than Spacek.<br /><br />With Mara and Sopel in we have more toughness and size to deal with possible roughstuff. At least to the point where we wont be stomped and bloodied. White can hold his own and so can Moen and Pouliot.<br /><br />A good wouldnt help much but a slight upgrade in a few players will make a difference.<br /><br />mbplekfan<br />@mattmaniacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-74493620293999995812011-03-07T15:29:36.483-11:002011-03-07T15:29:36.483-11:00next time give a heads up before you're on the...next time give a heads up before you're on the radio, i'd have listened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-27520050554449210832011-03-07T11:48:27.717-11:002011-03-07T11:48:27.717-11:00J.T.,you are correct,nobody in Hamilton can make a...J.T.,you are correct,nobody in Hamilton can make a difference in the fighting department.As much as I hate to admit it,the Broons have Thornton and Lucic and they have not lost too many fights.Even Laraque did not beat Thornton and Henry would not stand a chance.He might hold his own against Lucic but I'm not even sure of that.<br />We lost because of 8 goals-not because Pyatt and Spacek got punched out !!<br />There is nothing I would like more than to see Lucic get pounded but its not going to happen in Montreal any time soon.....<br />The way to really rub it in is to get back to winning against them as we so ofter have ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-52090241256006837242011-03-07T08:59:37.376-11:002011-03-07T08:59:37.376-11:00In the heat of the moment of the "Boston Mass...In the heat of the moment of the "Boston Massacre" I thought for sure we'd see Henry in Montreal for the rematch. It didn't take me long to reverse that standpoint, however.<br /><br />There's no way Henry would help. So what if he fought Shawn Thornton? So what *if* he managed to beat him to a pulp? What then? Who deals with Lucic? Who deals with McQuaid? Who deals with Chara? The answer is not Henry. The answer is nobody.<br /><br />The Canadiens boast a terrific record against the Bruins over the past 2 years and they got sucked in to one night of stupidity. All the Canadiens need to do is play their game, hopefully grab a lead and make the Bruins chase them.<br /><br />You're right, J.T. Many, many fans would sacrifice the 2 points tomorrow in exchange for seeing the Bruins sent home with bloodied noses. I sure as hell wouldn't. The Bruins are expecting to coast to the division win and closing the gap to 3 points would be making them a lot more uncomfortable than they'd like to be.<br /><br />I'm also surprised that such a majority would vote to have some muscle added to the lineup.<br /><br />Let's just hope the Canadiens win otherwise the blowback will be deafening.Kyle Rousselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706378133759064138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-69935487833964668802011-03-07T08:13:57.131-11:002011-03-07T08:13:57.131-11:00Great point, Leila.

Play the Hab's game and it could be close. <br /><br />Teams are allowed four more AHL call-ups from the trade deadline until end of the playoffs. Would fans really want Henry sitting on the roster for the rest of the year and possibly be short a player or two at some point? That would hurt both the Habs/Bulldogs and the player.<br /><br />I still feel for Ben Maxwell who was left on the roster last year for similar reasons. The team just couldn't afford to send him down and he might have helped the Bulldogs in their playoff run.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301460673069212137noreply@blogger.com
