Toughness, fearlessness, and dedication …

March 31st, 2009

There is a great article on the front page of Boston.com this morning about Lucic and his rise to the NHL. There is some interesting tidbits there as well… “accomplished alto saxophonist equally adept at Beethoven and Coltrane” Wow, who knew!

Check out the story here and the photos here.

GOAL! (edit: GOALS!)

March 29th, 2009

Lucic scores about halfway through the first against Philly. He hauled up the ice and got himself into perfect position for the pass and directed it home.

Luch is riding a three game point streak now.

At the end of the first, it was almost a copy of the first goal! Luch took a nice pass from Krejci and shot it past the goalie (not even going to try to spell it). B’s lead 3-1.

Halfway through the second Lucic slams Jones against the boards behind the Philly net. Going into commercial break Jack Edwards commented: “Lucic mashes Jones… cry me a river.”

All He Needs is A goal!

March 29th, 2009

Even though Luch got bloodied, he landed some big blows on Oreskovic. No take down, but #17 gets it on points.

We need a goal for a Gordie.

Things that make you say “hmmm”

March 28th, 2009

Hunwick on D and Montador as a wing?? Why not the other way around? And where the heck has Hnidy been, why doesn’t he get a nod every now and then?

On another note, AWESOME backhand goal by Ryder in the first tonight.

Point to Luch tonight in the early goings as well…

Update halfway through the second: another point for Luch who assisted on Krejci’s pretty goal.

Goooooooal!

March 23rd, 2009

Lucic lights the lamp for the 14th time this season last night at the Garden.

It was nice to see all the B’s finally firing on all cylinders. Last night was their first full, complete, well played game in a while – a couple months maybe.

Luch had some hits and a goal. It seemed he may have had a fight too if the refs hadn’t been so quick to get in between a couple potential fights (although, Stuart clearly wanted to fight the most out of all the B’s – he hit everyone he could reach!)

This is the Lucic (and Bruins) we need to see in order to have a deep playoff run…

Sorry guys. We got some catching up to do. Over the next couple days we’re gonna cover some Providence Bruins, Lucic in action recently, and some Hockey East action.

The updating will start today!

Neil vs. Lucic

March 12th, 2009

That was a brutal fight in the first period. Both guys throwing lots of hard punches. The fight only stopped when the sweater went over Luch’s head. It seems that his helmet comes off too easy and he can never get the other guy’s off! Luch went down the tunnel “for repairs” as Jack Edwards said. It’s tough to say who really won the fight. Maybe bonus points for Luch for throwing and landing a blind punch or two with the sweater over his head?

Props for Axie for giving it to Ruutu a little bit. Honorable mention for Ryder’s HUGE hit on whoever he hit in the first as well.

Highly unlikely this game will get more polite before it’s over.

Recchi! Recchi! Recchi!

March 8th, 2009

Recchi scored twice in front of a very fired up and at times antsy Garden crowd. The B’s must be happy to have a win, but that was a sloppy way to win. Timmy’s awesome play kept the B’s in the game when Chicago could have easily had another handful of goals.

Other than a handful of awesome saves by #30 which got the crowd going, two other plays stand out. First was Recchi’s second goal and the other was Axelsson’s open ice hip check during a penalty kill in I want to say the second. Recchi had the crowd chanting his name when he came out for the #1 star.

No goals or big hits by Luch, but he did get a helper on Kessel’s goal.

Bruins Win!

Bruins Win!

Recchi hands out the stick for being the #1 star
