6-2 Bruins

Pettersson and Horvat for Canucks
Marchand cheap shots Pettersson, concussion puts him out long term

Schaller goes Wayne Maki on Marchand, ending his career...

Wayne Maki, WOW, I'm sure most of the posters here weren't even a lump in their daddies pants when he a Ted went at it.

Nothing like a good ol' sticking swinging fight...

7-6 Bruins.

Shoot-fest like the Av's game.

4-pt night Pettersson.

Hopefully OT where we can get the Bettman-loser-point.

60 minute hockey games and if its tied its a tie, with bonus points in ot and s/o, so its not a loss its a tie.

What I would like to see:
Winner in regulation: 2 points
Winner in OT or Shoot-out: 1 point (loser gets nothing).

It would make teams try really hard in the third to actually win. If they end up tied, they fight to salvage a single point.

There should be no points for losing. Gary tried justifying the 1pt/loser system as he claimed there was too much of a log jam entering the PO's and the 3 pt games would handle it.

Now all we get are teams just playing for the loser point. 'Just get it to OT'.

It actually never really needed to change all it was, was another way for Gary to manipulate which teams go where.

Basically there should be no shootout
If a game ends in a tie after OT each team get a point
Play 10 min OT no more 3/3 or 4/4 crap.
Winner in OT/regulation gets the 2 points the loser gets ZERO. That's waht losing is lol.

Wanna see teams play harder and not just to get it to OT?

Get rid of the Bettman loser point.

bonus point you mean, tied after 60 its a tie not a loss.

Yes that is my fear as well that marchand will cheapshot EP, injuring him.

Let's hope green has a counter plan in place.... say rousel on his wing n EG on the back, Archibald etc

I like the idea of 1 point per team if it goes to OT. Those points are vital come playoff time. One could argue it would still be an even playing field for every team, but it holds significance when Eastern teams tie western teams.

As far as the shootout goes, it is the worst thing in hockey, besides maybe the puck over the glass penalty. They need to eliminate the shootout, and extended 3 on 3 in "golden goal" fashion. I know players may have beef with this, as its incredibly taxing on their bodies, but the statistics that show the decrease in shootouts AFTER OT went down significantly when they went from 5on5 to 3v3.

All in all, keep the 1 point for ties, but eliminate shootouts

Green should take an proactive approach, why wait for Marchand to cheap shot anyone, send Archibald to take him out first shift.

Congratulations Darius!!!
Keep fighting the fight and stay strong.
Great news!

Someone should tell the NHL to change the name of the “OTL” category

Marchand still living rent free in Canuck fans heads

So I guess it is okay to stalk an apponent and teach a lesson for a clean hit, hope green see's this but we get a 10 gamer for that I bet.

Well he is probably hated by every team and player in the league, he is a cheap shot artist.

Having said that I wouldn't be to upset if Benning traded Eriksson and Gaunce for him...
