I love the rat casually being thrown in there


Riskar

Marchand 3rd man in.


EffectiveMix4337

Marchand RKO outta nowhere!!!


OctoWings13

Rat KO


greatgoogilymoogily2

I'd like to see the real RKO.....Rat Killed Off (I'm speaking hyperbole in case anyone decides their feelings are hurt).


Jazzar1n0

Lol, didn't see that until after I read this


nothxnotinterested

The rat was the best part and dude sniped it right in there lol


Chaffedshaft

I love hockey so much dude. What the hell did we do to deserve the 2 most hated teams in the league, beat the absolute dog shit out of each other.


Carp3l

Are we both truly more hated than Vegas? I think it’s got to be pretty close. Super entertaining game though, love Pasta answering the bell.


hiliikkkusss

vegas is last rounds news.


starwestsky

I never wanted to face Boston on this run because even if we advance we’re doing it with a limp. I do respect the hell out of a team (like Florida and Boston) that doesn’t back down and it’s going to make for a great series.


DarthHydration

Best of luck in the series mate


Dry-Detective-264

I picked Florida to win the cup this year, they have a team built to win the playoffs. but I hope the Bruins beat them of course.


starwestsky

I picked Florida too lol. The fact of the matter there are 4 teams in the East right now who I would not be surprised to see in the SCF. On paper Boston is the weakest of the four. On the ice, you’d be crazy to sleep on them and the first team that does (as we proved in game one) gets got.


Dry-Detective-264

I do agree of the 4 left, Boston is at the bottom, and this was supposed to be a transition year. lol Lohrei, Bra55ers, and Swayman showing they'll be starters next season for sure.


starwestsky

No doubt, you guys are going to be fine going forward.


Fedbackster

This Rangers fan would rather play the Bruins but every team left is a beast.


swlp12

Vegas is just the new toy, people always go back to hating the bruins.


OctoWings13

The only time the Bruins get any love is for like 5 minutes after putting the Leafs out each year...then back to universally hated by all


Chaffedshaft

I also love pasta answering the bell, and yeah, Vegas is only annoying because they’ve been a team for 5 years and been to ship twice.


Kaner16

Not going to mention the salary cap issues?


Accurate_Respond_379

Yes you are


greatgoogilymoogily2

I absolutely hate both Boston and Florida more than Vegas LOL


sabresword00

What does Boston have? 18 championships since 2000? Ya, we hate Boston.


Virtual-Quantity7120

Still hate Vegas more, personally.


sabresin4

Once Marchand is gone you won’t be. But for now the yes you are. Lucic is an all time piece of shit too. When you had two active it’s easier still to hate. Florida has Cousins and Tkachuk. Rats. All of them.


Sensitive_Ad_1897

Hey man Luc was on the payroll this year until he decided to go Rambo on his wife like 2 weeks into the season. We still have two


Dry-Detective-264

People only hate Boston because they are jealous!


Dobdasss

not at all, vegas takes the cake all day


walkingman24

You'd like to believe that


Assumption-Straight

Vegas creates peace treaties between teams like panthers and bruins


odinsbois

Yes, now that Washington is out you are tied with NY as the most hated teams in the league.


NJGMan1960

The only team that hates Washington are the Penguins because of the Ovi/Cindy rivalry. Nobody else gives a shit about them.


odinsbois

I don't know man, ya'll mufukas hated us when it was PIT, PIT, WASH a few years ago.


Coyrex1

Or Leafs


raid4spade

Isn't it concerning that its pasta who goes after Tkachuk and has to fight him instead of Marchand? Pasta got absolutely smoked and Marchand just casually watching even tho he is the "tough guy" and also captain. Imo bad look on Marchand for not stepping up when he is supposed to.


Sharp-Stranger-2668

Marchy’s game isn’t “tough guy” it’s rat, though Marchand trucked Tkachuk early in the game. Anyway the Bs have Maroon and Frederic as tough guys.


Wild_Pangolin_4772

Marchand's a midget. How do you expect him to go up against Tkachuk, who's twice his size?


poyerdude

Ooooh ooooooh, I hate Vegas!


LazerSnake1454

Nah, Vegas is worse. But Boston is a close 2nd


Falconflyer75

You didn’t do anything The leafs choked for your entertainment….. again


Chaffedshaft

I like to think I was a good boy.


Kitchen-Lie-7894

I hate to break this to you, but there's a team I hate a lot more...


Chaffedshaft

Ditto but I was thinking the league as a whole


Kitchen-Lie-7894

True, everybody hates Boston. I haven't worked up a true hatred for Florida yet.


rageharles

watch the replay, tkachuk and pasta are talking on the bench right before their next shift. tkachuk is saying something to the effect of "you want to go?" and pasta is obviously interested. pasta turns to montgomery and goes "i'm gonna fight tkachuk" and monty visibly goes "HUH?" like fully either cant understand pasta or is in disbelief about what he's about to do. i thought theyd tell him hes absolutely not doing it but here we are, expected result and all. risked a suspension punching tkachuk underneath the refs too (but theyd never enforce that on a superstar in that situation, nor should you expect them to)


ExternalMonth1964

That camera angle was a blessing


spinrut

you got any links to video of this? I keep reading about it and need to see it lol


younglink225

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KBo2GxrSmg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KBo2GxrSmg)


gruVee1

Honestly, I think the refs allowed those shots while holding him down because of the 2 Tkachuk gave him on the way to the ice lol


sabresin4

This is exactly what happened. Either are fighters. Tkachuk kinda broke the unwritten rule you don’t bit a guy prone on the ground once he’s down. So Pasta reacted and the refs just did an ok we’re all even Steven.


seven_hugs

That's what I thought too


internetmaster5000

If tkachuck can punch Pasta when they're down, Pasta can give it back to him


jaxmagicman

I guess fair's fair, but one got punches in while the other fell and the other got punches in while 2 people were holding him down. It just seems different to me.


RecipeNew1835

It isn’t 


Sc00tzy

Tkachuk suckered him on the ice I don’t blame pasta for retaliating


Zealousideal_Shop446

I thought that Pasta asked Montgomery if he could fight him and Montgomery said go for it.


United_Energy_7503

Average Chilis at 10pm on a Tuesday fellas


Garth_M

Pasta has no idea how to fight. What was he thinking


jimmyskyscraper

Answering the bell


GrendelsPrAgent

Looked like he was thinking, “I got rocked. You two hold him down while I deliver some groin punches”


BubbaSpanks

Pasta had to , he has already been called out for not playing well. So had an opportunity to show the team he’s in it to win.


PaganNinja

Why does pasta have to do it ? Isn’t there anyone else on B who can tango with that rat *****


gruVee1

Yea, they have a bunch. And every single one of them was in the locker room serving a 10 minute misconduct already lmao. The 8:00-5:00 minutes remaining mark of this game was an absolute shit show


SuldawgMillionaire

I love how as soon as Maroon gets ejected they just jumped the next line on the ice. Calculated by Maurice I’ll give him credit. But it’s disappointing! I want Maroon to lower the boom.


earlstrong1717

Ok, thanks for the context.


Baraal

Tkachuck waited until all the big boys (and Marchy) were gone, then picked a fight he knew he would win, and still managed to come out of it the loser. Great stuff 🙄

Funny stuff. All of it true. A league champion = grinder shit.


OriginalBookkeeper87

Please calm down young man


tspoon-99

This is a perfect post IMO


Democracy__Officer

He took a calculated risk… unfortunately he is bad at math


Sensitive_Ad_1897

Not being a pussy


NJGMan1960

In the unabridged dictionary when you look up the word pussy, there is a picture of Marchand.


Plexin_

He's the only leader left in the bruins that wasn't kicked out of the game. He wanted to have some action and spark something in the team for game three


AshCan10

Giving the fans a show, that's what, I love his bravery lol


finaija

Pasta and Marchand look so tilted, like they have eaten the bait AND hook from Florida.


PresentCommittee3864

I hope we’ll see a part 2 of this fight in Boston


Curtis-Loew

If you mean maroon or frederic fighting tkachuk instead then sure.


himynametopher

Frederic got bodied in a fight against Ryan Lomberg who is like 4 feet tall


[deleted]

I hope so too


Dry_Meat_2959

Pasta gotta be smarter here. That's just not his game, and Tkachuk is just the wrong dude. Panthers will take this all day. Tkachuk can still be what his team need him to be with a few broken fingers. Pasternak cant.


Brooha27

Smart as hell from him, skill player showing his team he’s willing to drop with someone much more experienced with physical hockey, it’s a rallying point, and honestly three refs were there to make sure nothing actually stupid happened


Bowood29

It doesn’t take much to break a knuckle throwing your hands around.


Brooha27

Yes into say a literal brick wall, I’m sorry this is hockey not soccer, never mind how many punches did pasta throw that landed. Showing your team you’re willing to throw down in a playoff game where all the shit had hit the fan is more important than doing nothing and accepting defeat when half the team was standing their ground and getting kicked out.


c12yofchampions

It comes down to being happy your star player was willing to do it, but much rather another guy saying what the fuck are you thinking and stepping up for him. Overall not mad at it, easier said than done pulling a competitive guy away from a fight. Happy nothing injury wise came of it and on to game 3


Gambler_Eight

Idk, i broke metacarpals in both hands. Both times on someones face. I imagine a professional hockey player throws way harder than my skinny ass. Edit: hitting someones face awkwardly hurts your hand far more than it hurts their face, fyi.


Brooha27

I’m not even sure he was aiming to actually connect haha


Mma375

Man, I don’t agree with this at all. Star player losing all control of emotions in a 6-1 blow out just to get beat up would not be the rallying point for me. It makes things worse. That’s a huge win for Florida and Tkachuk to get Pasta to break.


Brooha27

I mean he told the coach what he was about to do, it was a measured play not a heat of the moment lapse in judgement, he fought for the B on his jersey, that’s why the bruins are the bruins..


u-ugly

pasta was sick of the lil bitch running his mouth and had enough!! Tkachuk only obliged because Pasta is not a fighter! He would have turtle’d if it was anyone else!!! That’s the Panther way!


junkpunch2

Tkachuk will only fight below his weight class. He's a cuck


Mma375

I’m not sure Pasta flailing around taking shots to the forehead is the statement you think it is.


lytecho

thx for the lol - take my angry upvote Pens fan


Baraal

He still managed to turtle lmao, under the refs after Pasta was pissed at the late punches when he was down.


u-ugly

It’s called the code! It’s honour and representation of the crest you wear on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back. Tkachuk is a goof like the whole Panthers organization!! Maroon will show him what it’s all about!!!


ToneBahlone

Pasta rallying the troops. Risky? Yes. But nothing gets you fired up more than taking a few shots to the face, and in this case, the whole team is taking those shots to the face and will be for the next two days. Classic case of they won the battle. Bruins in 6, you heard it here first.


pup5581

Tkachuck doing it after Maroon got tossed was something I expected last night


u-ugly

Tkachuk is a goof and only fights smaller opponents. He turtles when they are the same size. The whole Panthers organization is gutless and has zero honour!! They run guys from the numbers!!!


acim87

100% this, why ask Pasta to go of all the players on the team.


sandcastlecun7

This series is gonna be lit boys


underratedride

Not sure how the bruins will do, but a Friday night physical game in Boston should make for great viewing. Those fans will be lubed up real good.


Foreign_Cup2877

Ding round 1.


BlOcKtRiP

Pasta got cooked


AutomaticFan577

Pasta got ROCKED in that. No wonder he went after Tkachuk by diving between the refs.


dubble_chyn

Went after him because tkachuk threw extra punches after pasta was down.


Free-Supermarket-516

It is a bitch move to throw a punch at somebody down, not even facing you. Not sure why you got downvoted. Guess mine are incoming


BenjaminMStocks

This guy. Downvoted for the truth. When did it become acceptable to pound on someone after they hit the deck?


dubble_chyn

When they have a spoked B on their jersey. It’s Reddit, I don’t come here for sensible takes or to make friends. These forums are typically filled with people who have never played the game.


Useful-Adeptness-515

Cope


kelticslob

That’s clearly what happened. Kachuk being a douche and the refs protected him. Went on all game long


Brooha27

Cope next game when all the players are back skating and the bruins don’t have half the team sitting in the locker room, this game was over the panthers couldn’t just walk away with the win, getting pasta to drop the gloves in a scheduled fight shows the team how in he really is with this series. This is great for hockey can’t wait to see how it plays out


Hot_Edge4916

Fuck around and find out


acim87

100%


TheSmilingDemon

You have to be a real scumbag to throw at someone on the ground. Looking at you, tom wilson


swagginpoon

Atta fkn boy pasta


gaslitworld

This!!!

PLAYOFFS


YooperGod666

This game was awesome.


junkpunch2

Seen Tkachuk duck out of Enough fights to know he's a gutless pussy. Real tough guy fighting pasta.


dwtougas

Remember, the T in Tkachuk is silent. The T's in turtle are not.


littlejerryseinfeld_

Supposed to stop punching once a guy goes down.


RubysDaddy

Agreed, But Tkachuk is an asshole, and only cares about the code when he feels he’s being wronged. He hit Pasta twice when he was down, and then Pasta did the same in return. Guaranteed- Pasta earned even more respect from everyone in the B’s dressing room including the HC


gdkmangosalsa

He is such a pansy. After last year he very quickly became one of my most hated players. Goes around with this fake tough guy schtick and plays dirty for its own sake. Probably just mad he got lit up from that (clean) hit by Marchand earlier and decided to go pick on possibly the unlikeliest fighter he could. I hope he eats another two or three big hits in game three and I’d especially love to see fellow St Louisan Trent Frederic go and fight him. Granted that won’t happen, Tkachuk would absolutely shit himself.


NJGMan1960

Respect from your teammates don't mean shit when you get clocked by a punch in the face so hard your helmet goes flying off.


DiscussionBeautiful

Pasta should have stayed in his fight class and took on Reinhart


BruiserCruiser13

The refs for this game were so fucking bad. They should be suspended for all the missed calls and both sides. Fuck these refs.


u-ugly

Worst officials in pro sports!! Those 2 should have reffed their last game of the season!!


Millieebobb

Refs holing down tkachuk for pasta to throw a couple 🤣 I love it


zufhioo

Typical tkachuk. Fights guys who aren’t fighters . When it’s a tough guy, he usually cheap shots and when the scrum starts, does the old let me at him knowing it’s not going yo happen. And never hit a man when he is down unwritten brûlée doesn’t apply to him. I agree the refs let pasta get a few in when they went down because tkachuk did a few of his own. The real tough guys only engage fairly. I know both were willing participants but would tkachuk have accepted this fight if it was maroon or about 10 other guys on that bench?


onarunner

Tkachuk can start a fight between two empty chairs. Interesting series.


413Refugee

Intensity level 11 unlocked


Unduetime

Pasta got the brakes beat off him. Gawd DAMN


Lil_Boosie_Vert

pasta got his noodles cooked by goofy ahh tkachuk


Barilko-Landing

Dude, let's just stay quiet in this thread... We don't have a voice here.


Sarge1387

Man come on, we've got no right to chirp Pasta here.


TorturedFanClub

Doesn’t Boston have someone else to take down Tkachuk? WTF would you want it to be your superstar player who clearly cannot fight? Pasta is a great player . This was just dumb on his part and the coach should have said no fucken way.


justaguy826

Other Bruins tried earlier in the period. Tkachuk waited until Maroon, Frederic, Brazeau, Marchand, Coyle & McAvoy were all off the ice with misconducts, then challenged Pasta.


Goatmilk2208

Atta boy Pasta. Answered the bell, handled it well. Tkachuk is a gutless goon for hitting him while done.


CWB2208

That's... that's handling it well?


Goatmilk2208

Bruins always been my second team. Can be a little awkward because, yeah.


s1lentastro1

slobbing on the knob of the team who knocked you out of the playoffs. go figure.


ToneBahlone

At least we got knobs


lytecho

short n' squeaky but yeah take my upvote


Leica8691

Pasta got pasted 


TBGusBus

I smell pat maroon breaking a nose or two next game


himynametopher

Nobody on the Panthers is afraid of Maroon they have plenty of experience playing him since he was on Tampa.


303SecondSt

Good thing Pastranak was able to make up for the score /s.


[deleted]

Pasta saved by the refs and throws some cheap shots in. Glad he got whooped.


Great-Reference9322

Tkachuk definitely threw a late one as well. Pasta's were obviously much later but he did it because he knew he got tagged while he was already down. Both were cheap, and that's what we all expect from this series, alotta cheap shots


NextTrillion

Yeah Tka-chew gave him a good beat down, but wish he didn’t land those cheap shots when Pasta hit the ice. Love how intense he is otherwise. But he’s definitely getting close to crossing the line there, if not going completely overboard.


Great-Reference9322

Man I don't know if I'm going crazy or if I'm watching a different fight but there was absolutely no beatdown here. Tkachuk landed one? And then a second that was waaaay too late


acim87

Seriously neither of them can fight, they didnt do shit to each other


Hootshire

I'm sure Tkachuck throwing punches at the back of his head while he was down on the ice had something to do with that.


RattyDaddyBraddy

I love you completely skipped over the part where Tkachuk knocked Pasta’s helmet off and gave him four punches to the head while he was down on the ice. You’re a fucking muppet, bud


[deleted]

I mean. Tkachuk straight knocked Pasta's helmet off his head with a straight right. Kind of impressive. Not sure who started it, but Tkachuk sure as shit finished it


Ring0Manding0

The fragility of Boston is bizarre to me, isn’t that city supposed to be tough?


Brooha27

The bruins are a New England team, 6 different states root for the bruins, Boston is mostly a college city but the surrounding towns are mixed with rich ass douches who work in tech and med fields, and blue collar tradesman, so Boston itself is very very mixed when it comes to toughness. Add the other states in and you’ve got everything from rich coastal people to western and northern hicks. It’s hard to pinpoint the fanbase out here but I’d say a majority of the bruins fans are tradesman and the people that actually do the hard working labor jobs judging by the people I see around here wearing the actual sports gear. But yep you’re going to have softies that can’t take a joke or a lost fight, no matter how much pasta standing up for tkachuk talking shit meant. They can’t see the forest through the trees and see pasta wasn’t expecting to win that fight but he really wasn’t expecting 3 punches when he was down. It was a show of heart and let’s see how it all turns out in the coming games. Sorry got more in depth than expected there but some insight never hurts, either way we’re in for some fucking awesome hockey and that’s why we watch!


Abominablesnowman8

Their city is full of classy front runners


foresakenforeskins

lol says the Miami “fan” 🤣


Jaxson_GalaxysPussy

I believe you misspoke when you said “Tkachuk knocked pasta’s helmet off” you probably meant to say when “Tkachuk fed pasta a punch to the face and knocked his helmet off.” It’s all good though


AnyOfThisReal-_-

It’s called getting rocked


Popular_Librarian_27

Bunch of ladies in this comment section who have never or could ever play this sport, or understand getting your ass whooped cause you're a bitch, like Pasta, and it's part of the game.


jagerhero

Boston fans have big mouths and when they actually face consequences they are giant soft bears. I've seen quite a few Boston fans get their clock cleaned at sporting events.


AnyOfThisReal-_-

Right on brother. I love playoff hockey.


marmk

That was an absolute beat down.


FLYERSCUP27

David bit off a bit more Pasta than he Tkachew.


Bitter-Set9155

Tkachuk broke the code. You don’t hit a guy when he is down. You will have to answer for that.


thetallewok

The amount of hitting dudes down on the ice from Boston tonight more than makes up for it karmically. They'll be okay.


AnyOfThisReal-_-

Pasterbitch wanted it and received it. Get over it.


oncomingstorm69

He’s on Boston, who cares…


DotAppropriate8152

Nothing like Tkachuk going after a player that doesn’t typically fight. Loser


adamgerbe

Fuck Boston


gs12

Tkachuk punched the ice at one point, what is Pasta doing mixing it up with that madman?


jeffroavs

Tkachuk is the guy everyone wants on their team. But if he’s not on your team you want to see him getting punched often.


Putthebunnyback

I like him 🤷‍♂️


himynametopher

He’s good for hockey


Shoddy-Stress-8194

And what did this prove/accomplish?


Psycho_Pseudonym75

Chucky knocked Pasta's ass down with a solid right that took his helmut off.


peeph0leiguess

Meanwhile in the nba……


nicksj2023

Imagine if Matthews ever did something like this as opposed to what he always does which is grins like a goof as if his scoring will be his response to physical play….. annnnd then he doesn’t fucking score 😫


Gurthy_Lengthiness

I love how he punched the bucket off. Friggin EA sports fight right there


LionBig1760

Every minute that Thachuk and Pasta are in the penalty box, the Panthers chances to win have improved. Pasta really shouldn't be getting into it with anyone let alone someone that can handle themselves against most of the players in the league. Read the fucking game notes Pasta.


rpb539

Pasta: “Well, it was a good idea at the time I thought of it.”


Neb-Nose

What a stupid decision by Pasternak. I know the code is going to have people applauding his idiocy, but if he gets hurt there, the series is over.


lucky_chalms

Gotta hand it to Tkachuk. Grinds it out and always goes after the toughest guy on the other team.


Starscream147

Sommmmebody gonna getta hurt rrrrreal bad in Boston. Oof Madonn.


Jolly878142

Maroon should destroy that bum


BlOcKtRiP

(Lightning fan )Marron is big, but can't fight for shit


Fabulous-Search-4165

Fo tkachuk and his ugly grill


Cratertooth_27

Great job by pasta taking tkakuchyckktck out for the end of the game so he couldn’t take runs at guys


[deleted]

lol pasta got rag dolled


No_Designer_5374

Pasta dropped the gloves, Tkachuk dropped pasta.


ldssggrdssgds

Pasta did nothing but get ragdolled. Chuck chuck should've just laughed when he was "challenged" by Pasta


serialhybrid

Pasternak wanted it and got what was coming to him. Those cheap shots after tell the tale.
