Calvin Johnson Jersey .L. - Kael Mouillierat and Jason Jaffray both scored in the shootout as the St. Womens Ziggy Ansah Jersey .
Still, after the starts theyve had the last couple of seasons, they cant
help but feel good about it.
Brian Bogusevic drove in the go-ahead run after Jose Altuve scored on
Jordan Pachecos throwing error to tie it in the eighth inning and the
Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 Sunday to win their opening
series.Richard RiotOn March 13th, 1955 Maurice "Rocket" Richard was
high-sticked in the face and cut for five stitches by Bruins defenceman
Hal Laycoe. In the ensuing melee, Richard smashed Laycoe in the face
with his stick, knocked out a linesman, and narrowly avoided being
arrested by the Boston police. Or whats known in NHL circles as
"hockey." Commissioner Clarence Campbell suspended Richard for the
duration of the season and playoffs, which enraged the entitled
Canadiens fan base. When Campbell attended the next Habs home game, the
fans pelted him with eggs, vegetables, and other inexplicably handy
detritus. A tear gas bomb was set off in the Forum to diffuse the
situation, and the building was evacuated. What followed was a riot that
engulfed the neighbourhood around the Forum, injuring over 40 policemen
and civilians, resulting in $500000 ($4.5 million in 2014 dollars) in
damages and dozens of arrests. The chaos lasted until 3am, interestingly
also closing time for Montreal bars. The riot has taken on a mythology
typical of Quebecs relationship with hockey. Many cite the Anglophone
suspension of a Francophone player as a contributing factor in the Quiet
Revolution of the 1960s. Others simply argue it gives Montrealers an
excuse to set fire to stuff after hockey games. Ken Dryden Ken Dryden
was drafted 14th overall in 1964 by the Bruins. Later in the day, he was
traded to the Habs with Alex Campbell for Paul Reid and Guy Allen.
Campbell, Reid, and Allen eventually combined to play zero NHL games,
while Dryden would go on to get a BA from Cornell, win six Stanley Cups,
get a law degree from McGill, win five Vezinas and a Conn Smythe, write
a best-selling book, and be generally considered the best goalie of his
generation while contributing to the Habs dominance over the Bruins and
the league during that era. So lopsided was the trade that Dryden was
unaware of it until the mid-70s. Reid didnt find out until 2002, and
that discovery was predicated on the invention of the Internet. Too Many
MenThe Bruins-Habs rivalry would reach its heights the 1970s, making it
the most enduring and compelling matchup in sports, and creating the
template for the hate that exists between the two teams today. Bobby
Orr, arguably the best player of his generation, led the Bruins of the
era while the Habs were the epitome of what a franchise should be, the
crown jewel of the league led by coach Scotty Bowman. No moment would
better represent the rivalry than the infamous too many men penalty
taken by the Bruins in the 1979 semi-finals. Don Cherry, coaching the
Bruins, could never quite get past his counterpart Bowmans Habs, having
lost in the finals in 77 and 78. During seventh and deciding game, and
having just taken the lead on a Rick Middleton goal, the Bruins were
assessed a too many men on the ice penalty. Guy Lafleur would tie the
game on the ensuing power play and Yvon Lambert would score in OT to
send the Bruins home. Cherry would ultimately lose his job, and
eventually end up on Hockey Night in Canada where he would perpetuate
the rivalry with his Boston bias, intense hatred of the Habs, and
inability to pronounce Francophone surnames. The Canadiens would go on
to sweep the Rangers in the Cup final. Though the rivalry would
continue, the 80s and 90s were marked mostly with brawls and only two
Cups for the Habs.PedroThe Boston-Montreal rivalry extends beyond
hockey, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Pedro Martinez
trade from the Montreal Expos to the Boston Red Sox in 1997, which would
ultimately signal the end of days for the Expos. Montreal, having
already endured the nightmare of a cancelled 1994 season where they were
the most dominant team in baseball, and the sell-off or loss of players
such as Larry Walker, Marquis Grissom, and Ken Hill, were struggling to
maintain relevancy and a fan base. General manager Dan Duqueette (the
architect of the 94 team) and a native Massachusite, left to become GM
of the Red Sox in 1994, and three years later robbed his former team in
acquiring Martinez, the premiere pitcher of his generation and in his
prime, for Carl Pavano, Tony Armas Jr. Womens AShawn Robinson Jersey. , and a box of Kleenex. Martinez would go on to be a Sox mainstay and
win a World Series in 2004, the same year the Spos left Montreal for
Washington. BrosThe drinking age in Massachusetts is 21. The drinking
age in Montreal is 18. Kind of. I mean, if you can make your way to a
bar in Montreal, youre going to get served. Babies can be seen in
sipping from shot glasses. Sweet 16s are held in bars. Its a fun city,
the bars are open late, and there are strip clubs everywhere. There are
58 post-secondary institutions in the Boston area. Its a six-hour drive
from Boston to Montreal. A forty dollar bus trip. The result? A wealth
of bros infiltrating Montreal, a city they hate, to indulge in the citys
offerings. Summer nights are marred by puking frat boys, eight to a
hotel room, loitering Crescent Street, hitting on unimpressed locals,
polluting the air with Boston slang and unearned bravado.So many
tucked-in golf shirts. So many Red Sox hats. So many goatees. So many
pre-ripped jeans. So many gold crosses on necklaces. So many diamond
studs. Its like an Abercrombie ad got a Coors Light ad pregnant at
Maroon 5 concert at Fenway and gave birth to an army of bros.
Montrealers hate it, yet endure it. It fuels the fire.The Pacioretty
Incident and the 2011 Playoffs On March 8th, 2011, while skating down
the boards, Habs winger Max Pacioretty was checked into the metal
upright that ends the glass by Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara. The hit,
even to the most strident of Bruins supporters, could at best be called
gruesome. Pacioretty suffered a severe concussion and a fractured
vertebra. Chara received no supplemental discipline, leading to Habs fan
outrage and a Montreal police investigation. [Sidebar: You know you
have a good rivalry when the police get involved on a regular basis.]
Bruins winger Mark Recchi (a former Canadien) openly questioned the
severity of Paciorettys injury, despite Recchis inability to complete
medical school. The incident provided additional animus for the first
round playoff meeting between the teams. Recchi, still not a medical
professional, did not relent in his comments. The series went a
thrilling seven games, with the Habs P.K. Subban tying game seven late
and forcing overtime. Early in OT, the Bruins Nathan Horton scored to
win the series. Boston would go on to win the Stanley Cup for the first
time since 1972, devastating Habs fans.Pacioretty would recover to
become the Habs most prolific goal scorer in twenty years. Mark Recchi
would retire after the Cup win, and as of yet is still not a licensed
practitioner of medicine.P.K. SubbanHabs and Bruins fans like nothing
more (other than victories and Cups) than booing each others players. No
more has this been more evident in the current incarnation of the
rivalry than in the Bruins disaffection for Habs defenceman Pernell Karl
Subban. It seems to be more venomous and vitriolic than hatred of the
past, more angry and intense than the booing that Subban gets in nearly
every other arena he visits, except the Bell Centre. Id like to write
that it isnt racism, but its totally racism. Is my argument anecdotal
and biased? Yes, yes it is. But anecdote and bias are the backbone of
sports journalism, so Im going to argue that the most contentious of
entities in the contemporary Boston-Montreal rivalry is Bruins fans
intense and racially motivated hatred of the most dynamic defenceman to
lace up Bauers since, well, Bobby Orr. The series will be a bloodbath,
no doubt, and add to the legacy of its legend. Boston fans: Please
direct your hatred to @mdspry on Twitter. Habs fans: Dont set fire to
stuff.
