We have all seen this before in Boston.
An incident will take place on the ice and a long awaited rebuttal will be talked about by Bruins fans and media for days, weeks and even months.
We have all seen it when Randy Jones hit Patrice Bergeron from behind leaving him with a severe concussion. Jones payback ? Jack-Shit.... Not more than a year later we saw Matt Cooke decapitate Marc Savard leaving his head on the ice and his career in jeopardy. Cooke's payback ? Jack-Shit.
I think Round III will be a bit different folks.
Round 1 was the epic battle between Boston and Montreal at the TD Garden just two months ago. The game included eight fights and 200 penalty minutes. Bruins won the contest both physically and mentally, but just three weeks later they were grounded by the Habs. Round 2 in Montreal was a lot different. The bell rang and the Bruins were not able to answer the call. Late in the second period was when the drama began. Zdeno Chara fished for a puck and rode Canadien sniper Max Pacioretty into the stansion of the boards known as the "turnbuckle". Chara was ejected from the game, but didn't receive a suspension from the league. During this time Montreal fans and the media made ridiculous accusations and went as far as calling the police on Chara. Would they really arrest him ? Maybe actually... for being awesome.
Round 3 is tomorrow night at the Garden. We all expect revenge to take place and usually we are dissapointed. Well... this time it's all business. No one puts the Bruins in a corner and no one calls the cops on our captain, even if he is a goofy prick. The Canadiens have ran their mouths about this whole situation and the rivalry level is at a TEN. Tomorrow night is going to be an old school donnybrook mark my words.
Round I - Bruins .... Round II - Canadiens ... Round III - "On the Mark" because I will be ripping beers, chicken fingers and clam chowder courtesy of "on the house"... Get your popcorn ready people - shits gonna get sticky at the Garden tomorrow.
