Can't read because I ain't buying there news for 1 article. Weird. I didn't pay. There are rules in the game of hockey and then there are the rules that do not appear in the book. The problem with those unwritten rules is that they are wide open to interpretation, and not everyone adheres to them in the exact same way. One of those gray areas surfaced on Wednesday night in Colorado. At the start of the game, Taylor Hall caught Nathan MacKinnon with what originally looked like a bad hit to the head that, as we found out on Friday, resulted in a facial fracture and a concussion. Upon further review, however, the check was clean and the damage was done by MacKinnon’s own stick riding up and hitting him in the face. The legality of the hit did nothing to lower the temperature of the Avs, who saw their best player helped off the ice after spilling blood in the middle of the ice. Kurtis MacDermid tried to get Hall to go. Then Gabriel Landeskog tried the same. Later, Erik Johnson crosschecked Hall in the back three times on a Bruin power play, giving the B’s a 5-on-3 power play that nearly won the B’s the game. Even after Colorado came back to win the game, the Avs’ players were angry that Hall did not give them their pound of flesh. Looking back, Hall acknowledged he could have handled it differently, though at the time he didn’t think he had to respond to a clean hit. “In the moment, that was my thinking,” said Hall. “If I could get one or two power plays out of them, I thought that would help my team more than me fighting. But I guess looking back, I guess initially maybe I drop the gloves with Landeskog and get it over with and then I’m able to play the rest of the game without as big of a target on my back. But I don’t know. It’s hockey. Someone told me one time, ‘You never want to fight on someone else’s terms.’ I’m not a fighter by any stretch of the imagination. So I don’t know. It was a clean hit. It was a hockey hit. I never want to see anyone leave the game and certainly my intention was to end the play when he had the puck there. I didn’t want to see him bloodied or anything like that. It was a little bit of a stressful night for the rest of the game there. Just a weird night overall.” Hall said if he’d given a cheap shot, there would have been no debate. “I knew it was a clean hit. If I did something wrong and I was trying to defend myself or one of my teammates, that’s fighting on my terms, but fighting on their terms, I wasn’t crazy about it in the moment. But looking back, maybe I just get it over with,” said Hall. There was a time when the Bruins would have and could have responded exactly the way the Avs did, whether the hit was clean or not. But the B’s are not built that way any more. Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara are not walking through the door. They’re even more challenged right now with Nick Foligno and Trent Frederic on the shelf.Coach Bruce Cassidy, however, said Hall can take care of himself — within reason. “That’s a tough one for Taylor because I think we all felt at the end of the day it was a clean hit. There was no malicious intent. His own stick caught him. It didn’t look good obviously. We also understand that they’re going to protect their (star),” said Cassidy. “For Taylor, he’s been in the league for a while and the player has the best sense in how to sort it out. And we did talk about it after that fact that maybe it would have been better off if he just went with Landeskog and settling it and moving on and probably there’d be less stress throughout the game. But certainly not MacDermid. He doesn’t want to go after, or settle it with a guy that’s predominantly a heavyweight. I’m not sure anyone would recommend that. So maybe Landeskog would have been the opportunity. At the end of the day, it’s up to him to make that call. You can’t get into a player’s head…At the end of the day, he did draw a penalty behind the net and it helped us get on that 5-on-3, so there are some positives in how it was handled. At the end of the day, I saw him fight (Scott) Mayfield against the Islanders, a big, tough customer. It’s not that he hasn’t been willing to do it. He just made a call that he thought was right. No one knows the right answer on how to handle that. But at the end of the day, I was glad he was willing to be physical. If the hit’s there, take it if it’s clean. That’s part of who we are.” Rask a late scratch Tuukka Rask was scratched from the lineup in Arizona on Friday with a lower body injury. He was termed day-to-day. With Rask’s availability in question for Sunday’s game in Dallas, Jeremy Swayman was scratched from his start for Providence in Hartford and was headed to meet the team in Dallas. Troy Grosenick, who had traveled with the B’s on their three-game road trip as a member of the taxi squad, was recalled to the Boston roster and backed up Linus Ullmark against the Coyotes. Cassidy had announced Ullmark would be the starter earlier in the day. While it’s not clear what exactly was bothering Rask, he is attempting a comeback from offseason hip surgery and he’s had mixed results in his four starts. He’s gone 2-2, but his last start, a 5-3 loss to Anaheim on Monday, he looked particularly out of form, giving up one bad shorthanded goal and having trouble tracking the puck on a couple others. Glendale swan song The Bruins were playing in Glendale for the last time on Friday. It has been reported that the fan-starved Coyotes could possibly play the next three or fours years in the 5,000-seat arena on the campus of Arizona State, which would be by far the lowest capacity arena in he NHL. Hall played in Arizona for half a season in 2020. “My experience here was really good. I was actually surprised about the fans here and how much they cared about the team,” said Hall. “I played a lot of games in this arena and seen how packed it can get and how the atmosphere can get. And I know a lot of people probably think that’s all the visiting team brings a lot of fans. But there were a lot nights when we’d be playing Chicago or Minnesota and there was a good chunk of away fans. But it was still a good atmosphere. I met a lot of Coyotes fans just out in public and they were very enthusiastic about the team. I think everyone agrees that putting an NHL arena somewhere near Scottsdale would be best for everyone, but there’s a lot of politics involved and a lot of things that go into it. But I wish nothing for the best for this franchise. I think hockey can work here. I probably didn’t think that before I got on the Coyotes, but I do think that, after being a member of the team, seeing the area and seeing how much they care about sports here. Hopefully they can figure something out.”… Matt Grzelcyk, who missed the last two games with an upper body injury, returned to the lineup on Friday. Urho Vaakanainen, impressive in his call-up, remained in the lineup and Connor Clifton was scratched. Thanks Seabass for yet another great read..What's in 'Bold' is what pisses me off and it did during that Av's game..FS, you dont need a player like Z or Looch to pick up for a teammate, you dont need to be a physical player even..Everyone player GOT to have each other's backs on every shift..Bruin players did absolutely nothing and that really gets under my skin.. The other side of it all?? Well if it was a clean hit with no intent to injure and thats exactly what it was, why all this bullshit?? Why is tghe FGHJing media running with this?? Is the league getting so boring they have to keep talking about this hit simply because MAC got injured on the play?? Geez give it a rest..Plus every player should be able to give AND take a hit instead of a bunch of Mcsorley's running all over the ice..Absolute bullshit in my opinion..Man up!

I didn't go to the Heritage Classic they had in Regina a few years ago but it looked like the sightlines weren't terrible and you aren't right on top of the action but I think you can still roughly see what's going on! Fenway looks like a pretty cool place to watch a hockey game actually. It would be a great experience for sure!

Come Post season most of them get eaten up by the larger Dmen not to mention the larger O too. Stay away from these small Euro players. It just doesn't win the Stanley Cup Sorry. JMHO!

Garland is another small forward that I think we have enough of.

I am in the same boat on Miller. I think that's a good move and more than just a rental. I worry about the return though. They are asking for lots. I think the Rangers view this as a year to go for it and I think he'll probably go there if he doesn't just stay with the Canucks. With one more year on that deal, they really don't need to deal him this year. Pass on Garland. Too small and he just got to Vancouver and signed that longer term deal and they want to trade him already? No thanks!

Too small and he just got to Vancouver and signed that longer term deal and they want to trade him already? No thanks! Yea KJC, I would love to see a deal like that for Miller!! But to add our Top Prospect to any deal?? Look, Bruins are not winning the cup this season whether we get Miller or not!! Rangers and TB especially are just too far ahead of us and I dont mean in the standings! They're Top contenders to win the cup in my opinion..Lysell should be next to untouchable cause if you take him out, our top prospect would be Studnicka and he still cant make the team!! Bruins prospect pool is one of the worst in the league. Ory, Garland is from Boston area so maybe that's why we hear and read about him so much..You made a good point when you mentioned how Vancouvwe just signed him past offseason..WHY the rush to trade him?? I read somewhere the Nucks are hoping to get younger now that Boodrow is their new coach..Benning brought in Garland, OEL and others..The team is playing really well under new coach, trading Garland now would certainly be a headscratcher!! He has 10 goals 24 pts in 42 games so he's a big piece of their offense..I think alot of trash talk around the league!

JT Miller is interesting, I wouldn’t mind picking him up with Debrusk and something small going the other way. Garland is another small forward that I think we have enough of. I am in the same boat on Miller. I think that's a good move and more than just a rental. I worry about the return though. They are asking for lots. I think the Rangers view this as a year to go for it and I think he'll probably go there if he doesn't just stay with the Canucks. With one more year on that deal, they really don't need to deal him this year. Pass on Garland. Too small and he just got to Vancouver and signed that longer term deal and they want to trade him already? No thanks! they are only talking about moving Garland to make cap space to keep JT Miller who they are trying to see if he's amenable to a long term deal or at least that's what's being reported out of Vancouver. If JT doesn't want to stay then they will hold on to Garland. Canucks aren't interested in Jake Debrusk either. So the rumored asking price for JT Miller right now is Lysell, a 1st AND young roster player preferably a D possibly Urho or Zboril. Sounds like they want the Rangers to cough up Kakko, Hajec and a pick.. does JT Miller make the Rangers or Boston CUP winners?

He could possibly be enough to make the Rangers a legit Cup contender but no one player does that for the Bruins, too many holes.
Also it’s a losing formula, giving away that much future on a good player (not a star) is ridiculous.

Also it’s a losing formula, giving away that much future on a good player (not a star) is ridiculous. Couple of things along those lines, yes too many holes to plug for sure. Also isn’t Smitty pretty much the same player that this Garland is? Maybe with even a little more snarl? There’s also this year’s elephant in the room that makes things even more difficult for Sweeney/Neely. What’s Bergy going to decide? He’ll be 37 in July, will have played 18 years over1200 games another 160 playoff games. Will have made over 92 million dollars, accomplished everything possible that a player could. With the way this team is constituted the stars are taking more of a beating night in and night out than we’ve seen in a long time. Given his history not sure the odds are even 50/50 for another season.
