Boston Fans calling Joel Ward a N*gger after scoring the winning goal.

You keep it classy bean-town.

Pretty much puts Boston at the top of my list of cities with the shittiest fans. Others include Philadelphia, LA, Vancouver, and NY.
Right. I'm sure every one of those ass clowns who posted that garbage is actually from the city of Boston.

Christ...

The default defense when your team's fans do something stupid.

There are stupid fans everywhere, and some of those stupid fans are in Boston. At least they didn't riot and tear your city apart, amirite?

The way Green's been playing on the other side of the puck I'm not so sure he wants it anymore. He doesn't have the green light as much - that's for sure.



Well he was obviously pissed and couldn't control his temper.. but wtf do you expect standing in the crease? In a playoff game 7 no less. The best part is just the stare and the I-couldn't-give-a-fuck that Holtby responds with. From a 22-year old. Hilarious.
I wonder if his groin is still bothering him. The past two season he has played 81 regular season games. As you said he might not have it anymore

The reason I didn't multi-quote the posts solely calling out the Boston fans, ass.

I don't follow hockey well enough but I do live near DC so... LOL @ Boston. I will gladly take any opportunity to laugh at their sports' failures.

Ease up buddy, you missed my point. What is the value of saying that some of those fans probably weren't even from Boston? Just condemn it and move on. Nobody thinks these fans reflect all or most of Boston's fans except people who just hate Boston.

Don't be offended by my sig, I'm a Giants fan.

As if the rest of the rest of the world isn't laughing their collective asses off at the epic failures taking place in DC daily...?! Check that, some are actually crying.

You're apparently in a combative mood today, so I'll leave you alone. Take Tim Thomas's advice and smile man, it's just hockey.

(The comment about my sig was in case you thought I was one of those people who just hate Boston)

Staying Kunitz and Staal are garbage you're clearly not a hockey fan at all

I don't think you should be saying that to anyone.

This thread is usually pretty mature, and everyone has opinions. But when someone busts out a "you don't watch much hockey" or "you don't understand hockey" or "you are not a real/true hockey fan" the maturity level drops off a cliff.

And it seems to that is your regular fallback in any disagreement.

Find a new way to disagree with someones opinion. Or at least learn to know the difference between opinions and facts.

Ignore me then if you don't like it. No hockey fan would call Jordan Staal garbage, the kid single handedly took his team deep into the playoffs without Sid or Malkin last year.

Maybe Malkin is the one thats garbage :p

Frankly I think Malkin is terribad.

If I really meant that then I'm either an idiot or know nothing about hockey, at least I didn't call him an idiot which is probably more likely the case

Just like how all those people that rioted were from Vancouver, right? Prick.

It's amazing how fast you are to point that out when it's your city, but you quickly paint everyone from the same brush when it's another city.

The reality is I'd rather be a rioter than a racist, also, you guys threw a banana at Wayne Simmons earlier this year too, and you have the last baseball team to integrate.

That was against the Red Wings, and it happened in Canada.

ROFL. Getting eliminated in the first round = going deep in the playoffs. You're right, in any case, I'm really not a hockey fan. I'm a player. I lace em up and actually get my ass out there every week. If you're ever in the NY/NJ area I'd be happy to cone you a few times. :D:thumbsup:

He was the #1 center for most of the year, it was crazy that they even made the playoffs.

He carried them in this playoff series too, it just wasn't enough this year because Malkin kept turning the puck over :p

Regardless, I doubt you would find anyone who doesn't think Staal is a good player. Nay, Great player. You might not like him for some reason but he's not garbage.

Looking like Ottawa is going to lose. :(

I am hoping for overtime, but I have my doubts.
