This is one of the reasons why the Boston Bruins are the best hockey team in the known universe right now:
What does it mean? It means that everyone is scared to death of them. Was the hit on Ference dirty? Yeah... a little. It was worth a penalty, but nothing worse than that... at least as far as the officials are concerned. But from the point of view of his teammates? No way. You don't hit Andrew like that. You deserve a beat down.
And here's what it boils down to. It wasn't Shawn Thornton who pummeled Raffi Torrez, it was Adam McQuaid. Any one of these players will apply the beat down in defense of anyone else on the team. That's why the Bruins are winning. The whole team is willing to do whatever it takes to win, even apply a savage beat down in response to a high hit.
Oh yeah, and there's stuff like this too...
Benoit Pouliot was a joke in Montreal last year. Now with the Bruins? He's doing this.
I can't imagine the Bruins will keep rolling like this throughout the season. Eventually something will happen to bring them back to Earth. But for now? Damn this is awesome. 21 wins in the last 24 games. They are just out of control with the whole ass kicking awesome right now.
Go Bruins!
