@nhl_review Dave Brown Hat Trick?

Who is the next player on Montreal to cross-check someone in the head? What type of hat trick do we call this?

@MikeGrinnell_ @EvanMarinofsky I feel like he needs to make the team as one of the top 3 centres or spend some time in Providence. Nothing wrong with some time in the AHL if he is not ready.

@EvanMarinofsky Seems hes just better as a center. Wonder if he starts on wing or down middle next season

Good sequence here from James Hagens: Wins a D Zone draw, reads the forecheck nicely as the F3, intercepts the clear and gets a nice shot on net. Hagens has been strong down the middle today.

@Habsfan94Jamie @GlobeKPD sad but true

@GlobeKPD But he 3 cups. 3 more than Neely ever did.

Claude Lemieux carries in the flame. In days of yore, he was hated by Neely. Game at the Garden, Lemieux turtled, all fours.....and Neely dragged him into the corner and mashed his face into the wall,...once, twice, thrice.... It just so happened, the banner ad in said corner was The Boston Globe. Lemieux left the building that night with...wait for it...a nose for news.

@MickColageo @GlobeKPD It was pre 1988 that was really painful vs the Habs in the post season

@GlobeKPD I remember the photo and your column. Amazing how the Bruins eliminated Montreal in five out of six seasons over a seven-year period 1988-94. Then they didn't play them again until the 2000s.

@MarkDivver my god, worse rule in the NHL, should be gone

So the trapezoid is coming to college hockey. Ya, that should put asses in the seats

@lumby2vernon mostly frozen wet

I had no idea Quebec was so wet!

@Reuters All this means is it is more expensive for fans.

@_TyAnderson Maybe push the Bull gang to have proper ice. The ice conditions are horrible in Boston and does not help our skill.

Sturm on home struggles: “We didn’t think on the road. I’m just talking how I feel. We felt the pressure being at home. We feel the pressure because we care. We want to prove people wrong. These guys care.”

@BruinsLow lol, not a shot at brass at all. We were neevr going to be a contender this year.

100% this is a shot at the brass, guy played all year with Aspirot, who played admirably but you arent a contender with a top pairing like that.

@_TyAnderson Hagens did NOT look ready for the playoffs, he will get his chance. Go with the guys that were part of the team all year. JH44 is not saving our season in a desperation game.

Not if they're sitting their best offensive prospect since Pastrnak for Eyssimont and/or Steeves, I agree. Just yesterday, Sturm talked about the importance of younger players playing in these moments and experiencing failure. Sitting him for these guys does nothing for anybody.

@slapadamilk They are hoping to get to the intermission to do it.

Get Swayman out of there. Not his fault but just gotta do something.

@ConorRyan_93 @BruinsDiehards Haggens needs to sit. He looks timid and nervous with the puck.

One potential lineup tweak for the Bruins in Game 4? Slotting up Minten between Pastrnak and Geekie. That trio only logged 48 minutes of 5-on-5 reps in the regular season. But Boston outshot opponents, 23-13, and outscored them, 4-1, over that stretch.

@JFreshHockey Swayman?

@PBerce Bruins on line 1

NOBODY PICKED THE FLYERS AND THE PENGUINS TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!

@conroyherald Sign him July 1st.

It might as well be.

@richarddeitsch Never again. That ship has sailed.

Just want to let people under the age of 30 who follow this crappy feed know that there was a time when everything was not through the fucking looking glass in this here union of ours. It wasn't always Alice In Wonderland daily. Maybe one day again.

@yankfromlower48 @expomick What point exactly?

@expomick Reminds me of Perry and Folingo. Point was made now play thr game.

Radko Gudas absolutely didn’t throw a punch on purpose. Took “his medicine” for his bad hit. Did it prove much for the Leafs? I guess so. Hockey Culture…it’s fascinating.

@expomick A fan since the mid 70’s loved the crazy 80’s, maybe it’s old age but this whole thing is ridiculous. What does any of it have to do with winning a hockey game.

@eliasmakos this is what it means when the cap goes up, the fans pay

Developing language story in Quebec. French broadcasting rights for the Montreal Canadiens next season have yet to be determined. In English, situation is set. You subscribe to TSN and Sportnet, you can watch all the games. In French, it’s much more complex. Sources tell @JeremyFilosa that RDS already loses $500,000 per game they broadcast, and they cannot take on the share of games they’ve had in the past. TVA Sports is also bleeding money, and they cannot pick up the slack. They may even need to get out of broadcasting games completely. That leaves streaming to fill the gap. But if the Canadiens go that route, it would put the team in a situation where English fans have it much better than French fans, both in cost and complexity. The Habs are aware this would be a terrible look. And a bigger long term question is how will Canadian broadcasters keep up with escalating rights fees as the country’s economy continues to stagnate. This is the canary in the coal mine.

@AmalieBenjamin That can’t be bad.

Patrice Bergeron is working with Fraser Minten and Morgan Geekie on the ice at Warrior this morning.
