Poor Nicky said it didn't sit well that he was HS for game 7...poor DaNick Backigno. Bu-bye...not like the 4th line did anything that series...were they even a factor?

I was critical of the Foligno signing, even more critical in year one. last year he delivered like a 2 mil veteran grinder. I liked him. Woulda liked him back at a mil.
Money isn't an issue in chicago yet, so good for him. Anyone else woulda been retarded to match that.
I love what he said, and have zero qualms with it. Players should be gutted when they get benched for a game 7. He said nothing out of line at all.
Hope folks read the rest of the article.
I think that's spot on too. He said it's the most dominant team he's ever played on, and ever will.

Maybe the B's go farther if he was as vocal as he was back when the B's played Winter Classic...seemed to be inspiring words then, seemed to care...didn't feel like he did much at all and was like many B's a zombie v. Florida

Florida older guys don't bounce bacj from injuries as good...isn't the healing as much as reps. rust accumulates very quickly and its a big job dealing with it. he wasn't terrible at all against florida, but it's reasonable to consider a previously floated notion. Bruins were so deep, they created some confusion with all those options. Not much question he'd have been in the lineup, had Hatheway not been brought on board. |

Hathaway was great in his regular season games for B's...what he did or didn't do in playoffs is another story...he barely got ice time and was like so many others--not a factor v. Florida. |

Nurse Hathaway had better shifts than either Nicky or Garnet As did Jane Hatheway. Her acumen was evident, as the physical demands she routinely nailed, as president of the biddle birdwatchers... can never be diminished. She had attitude and soft hands too. |

Technically "not a factor" is way above par for the round. Apparently, like others, their last have been an injury issue. I don't think he got a fair look or enough time to really come into his own in Boston. |

I don't think he got a fair look or enough time to really come into his own in Boston. That's what I mean, though. It's like why did he get such little ice time against a physical Florida D?? I wonder if part of it was chasing the score in a lot of the games...the B's had to score to keep up...there was just no control factor for B's last 3 games. Hathaway was acquired to make a difference...was he injured too? Was he just not getting it done? I don't know..Monty has some more 'splainin to do |

The problem with my hockey reads is it centers around the Bs. Each time I read about injuries, ie. Bergeron, Hathaway, Hall, Foligno, or whateva, I buy the understanding. I wonder though how many injuries Florida had at the time. More research needed. |
