NHL Playoff Discussion, v3: OT Madness

[Josh]

What like the media making up that the N word was "trending"? ya thats already been exposed as bs.

The hate is real. Ppl make a bigger deal of something when Boston fans or players do something then others. All of a sudden the Bruins are the dirtiest team in the league, because of the Lucic shit. Shits kinda funny to me actually.

Because of the Lucic shit? Hah, there's shit happening every game. Paille should be getting a meeting today.

Well didnt a philly crowd throw a banana peel at their own wayne simmonds(suppose it could have been an ignorant fan of rhe away team)? Also they've done alot of shit infamously in the past. Pretty sure a philly crowd spit on a baby. In either football or baseball.

Did they boo Santa at an Eagles game?

What is the reason that we have to start a new thread after 100 pages/1000 posts?

I think the worst part about the whole Boston racism thing is the fact that this is not their first trip down that road. The same thing happened when Washington eliminated Boston in 2012, and when Boston eliminated Montreal in 2011. This is not an isolated incident for Boston. No city is immune from racism, but it is certainly worse in some places than others.

Also, re Cam Neely's statement, it's good, but I don't think it's strong enough. This is clearly a problem.

Well, at this point with the documented pattern of incidents, it's more like "Welcome to Bruins country". Obviously it's not all or even a majority of Bruins fans, but this isn't happening in all other cities to the extent that it's happening in Boston.

Ppl make a bigger deal of something when Boston fans or players do something then others.

It's mostly resentment due to the whole "Bruins justice" thing - there's a reason that expression has been a long-running joke among NHL fan-bases for years. Boston players have historically gotten away with a lot of transgressions with little or no punishment. This is not a recent trend. In reality, the vast majority of Bruins players are solid, respectable guys that anyone would want on their team. There's a core of pure class and heart on that team, but then there's handful of guys on that team who are absolute shitheads. Marchand, Lucic, and Chara (Chara is one of the ongoing poster children for "Bruins Justice") are strongly disliked throughout the league because they are dirty, classless players who have gotten away with stuff that plenty of others have been penalized and suspended for.

Boston has long earned its reputation as a dirty team and if the team doesn't like that, then they'll need to change, but that will be difficult as long as they continue to employ guys like Marchand, Lucic, and Chara, and when even generally respectable guys like Shawn Thornton do stupid stuff like the Orpik thing last December. It's not fair to the awesome guys like Bergeron, Iginla, Eriksson, Rask, Krug, Kelly, Krejci, etc, but those other three guys are the definition of bad apples spoiling the bunch. If there was consistency in punishment, maybe people wouldn't feel this way.

Chara lol

you must be team "call the cops"

But you're right racism isnt happening in all other cities, just most of them.

I am not team "call the cops" nor am I even remotely a Habs fan. Chara's perceived history as a player who gets away with a lot of dirty or questionable hits without punishment long precedes the Pacioretty incident.

As for racism in other cities, you seem to be misunderstanding that it's about extent in a particular team's fan-base, not breadth in all cities.

Also re Bruins Justice, if you haven't heard that term before, it's entirely possible that you are not as in tune with the conversation on why the Bruins are considered a dirty team as you think you are.
