I’m a big fan of “Bruins” hockey. To me, that’s playing hard, tough, hitting but staying clean, sticking up for your teammates, and never quitting on the game.
It is NOT getting frustrated at the end of a game and punching another team’s players in the face repeatedly (Lucic, Krug, Iginla from what I saw).
The guy whacked Chara, Chara shoved him, another guy shoved Chara, he shoved back.
End.
Even in the sense of “evening things up”, it was over. It was even. Chara didn’t need any help.
So I guess my reaction, as a Bruins fan, is most accurately described as shock. I mean, it wasn’t a two-way brawl like you sometimes see. It was Lucic, Krug, and Iginla just punching Canadiens over and over while the Canadiens were covering up, doing nothing, or skating away.
And the looks on their faces pretty much mirrored my reaction – I think they just couldn’t believe what the Bruins were doing. Whether they were intimidated or not, set up for game seven, whatever…I really don’t know or care.
Just win or lose with class, guys. Like a Bruins team should.
P.S. – WIN with class!!!
