The Wussification Of The NHL Costs Bruins Game 6

Milan Lucic had no intention of hurting Yaroslav Spacek.  Lucic simply played the body and checked Spacek into the boards.

But in typical Montreal Canadien fashion, Spacek crumbled to the ice like a little bitch.

Lucic got called for a five minute boarding penalty and kicked out of the game…because Yaroslav Spacek is a pussy.

Back in the 80s, that hit wouldnt even have been a penalty.  Momentum would have swung for the Bruins and that hit would have forced the Canadiens to play scared.  The Canadiens wouldn’t have had a 5 on 3 power play and the Bruins most likely would have won the game.

But the NHL in 2011 is for pussys. Plain and simple. And this version of the Big Bad Bruins are the victims...while the Canadiens are taking full advantage. 

In todays NHL, when a big, tough, strong team plays a team loaded with small players who are more fragile that grandma's china, the wimpy team will flop (and get the calls) and the bigger, tougher team will never get any momentum.

Heres the video of Lucic hitting Yaroslav Spacek. You decide if Lucic deserved a five minute major and a game misconduct:
