  1. @DColletti7 And if I do? You gonna do something about it or just stand there and cry like most idiots from Vancouver do?

  2. @BosBruins46 One of the worst things about Vancouver fans is THEY NEVER SHUT UP. Always running their mouths, telling the world how great they are. Then they cook up a bunch of excuses when they lose. We have seen this for years out West.

    Bruins play hockey the way I like it played, tough and gritty combined with speed and skill.

  3. @ultimatebikekid Maybe your comment would have more merit if EVERY OTHER CANADIAN that I've ever met wasn't as arrogant as this guy.

    And I bet you haven't been a Vancouver fan for more than two or three years.

  4. Yep its CLEARLY Mcdonaghs fault, I mean how dare he go hit the boards and go down to the ice when he got hit from behind at full speed (rolls eyes)

    Boston fans and the commentators blaming Mcdonagh/ Excusing Ference for the hit are just embarrassing themselves

  5. I'm not saying it wasn't a dirty hit, but every team does shit like that. Not just Boston….

  6. @VancouverChokers-Are you sure that every other ARROGANT CANADIAN that you've met wasn't an American tourist with a Canadian flag sewn on their backpack to try and pass as Canadian? 'Cuz I've met plenty of these kind of arrogant people.

  7. The fact the dirtiest, cheapest classless team in the league can't beat the Rangers with their foul play says a lot about how strong we are this year. Add that Rangers are leading the league in Fighting Majors and are not considered dirty. That NESN announcer should be banned from TV. Whipping up hate in Boston. Retards

  8. @ultimatebikekid Because of the Commentator? That shows what kind of hockey "fan" you are. Ultimate Bike Kid? Are you over the age of 10?

  9. @Watcharian I love you blaming all Bruins as being dirty! And the announcers admit that it was a penalty, they were only offering a possible explination as to why Ference thought he could make contact. Stop automatically assuming all Bruins have malicious intent.

  10. @EBeauregard18 Its where not were and yet your the one laughing at me being dumb, that is really ironic

  11. @Watcharian
    A dirty hit would imply that it was a hit. Pre lockout this wouldn't even be a penalty. I would take a look at Malkins' hit on Boychuck for a hit from behind.

  12. the bruins do it more than any other team, that's why the bruins are the most hated in the nhl, they have no respect for other players

  13. Holy fuck these play by play guys are morons. Listen to them talk about the chimera hit on McQuaid. Bias broadcasting or what.

  14. how can these guys even defend that hit? it's so clearly from behind its ridiculous
    andrew ference is one of the dirtiest players in the league

  15. savard had TWO biting incidences against him. And the bruins dive and whine all the time. Brad marchand dove 4 times in one game against the caps. Twice on 1 shift! He also rolled around the ice like he was shot to milk a call too.

  16. He didn't do it on purpose! Sure Ference may be a dirty player but he wasn't being dirty this time. Plus he's hot he can play dirty with me any time 🙂

  17. Even as a Rangers fan, I can't call Ference a dirty player. This play was dirty and pretty hard to watch, but Ference has a clean history and genuinely seemed like a lapse in judgement. That being said, it was great to see Gabby score in OT, what a game.

  18. While that was hard to watch it was kinda cool seeing David Krejci check to see if he was okay.

  19. No he's not buddy. Stop spreading non-sense. This is literally his first real offense. He plays a tough style game like any other gritty defensemen.

  20. bullshit, look at ference, look at his hands and where his attention is, his hands are down and hes trying to stay on the puck. no ill intent there at all so quit bitching

  21. "Didn't look like there was a whole lot of malice there to me Jack. I'm not just saying that because we cover the Bruins.."
    Jack is silent because he was trying to hold back the "GET UP" that he wanted to yell. Dirty cunts.

  22. Even if. He didn't have to run McDonagh right into the boards face first, there are better ways to deal with getting out-hustled to the puck.

  23. Sean Avery may be an ass and a clown, but dirty is something he's not. Looking back I can't name one time he intentionally injured someone.

  24. top ten, Ference has been cheap/dirty from the time he entered the league. Quit being a Jack Edwards clone. I suppose the elbow from last nights game was just "incidental contact" too huh? Ference seems to make a fair amount of "bad choices". Like the finger to the crowd a couple yrs back.

  25. Andrew grew up in Sherwood Park, his sister still lives there. He's a classy guy and would never deliberately injure a fellow player.

  26. i love how people see what they want to see. if you love the rangers or hate the bruins, it's a dirty hit. he's pushing him off the puck. because of the angle it ended badly. if there were actual intent to injure, it could have ended mcdonagh's career.

  27. I find that hard to believe after what he did to mcdonough, grabovski, and halpern. He's no different than cooke trying to ruin players careers. He's a scum bag.

  28. The hits on McDonagh and Grabovski are in my mind clear examples of unfortunate hits with no intent to injure. Halpern is responsible for where he skates. You can hardly compare Cooke and Ference. Cooke has been suspended 18 games and inspired league wide rule changes. Ference has been suspended only 4 games and has a good reputation among players and coaches. If you've met Andrew, I don't think you'd be calling him a "scum bag".
