Bruins and Habs first round?

God I hope so and it is looking like that might be the case. I have to say that Jack Edwards is my favorite homer hockey announcer. I am sure he grates on some people but being a Bruins fan his commentary is music to my hears. There are so many Edwardisms that they actually have a Jack Edwards bingo game. Hockey Fights got the names of the combatants wrong for this fight, it was actually Shane Hnidy and Josh Georges and not Maxim Lapierre who was dropped by Brian Lee ealier in the week. Lapierre is really, really, really lucky that Lucic wasn't able to get his hands on him or he would have gotten his ass beaten for a second time this week.

I guess it would be an understatement to say that Milan Lucic was in an ornery mood last night and was looking to dance with former Michigan player Mike Komisarek.

It's just one of the general rules of life: when Canadiens meet Bruins, gloves, helmets and sticks end up as litter on the ice (true to form, there was a line brawl in the second).

Rough-hewn Bruins forward Milan Lucic renewed hostilities with nemesis Mike Komisarek and at one point in the second period chased down the Habs defenceman after he hit Lucic from behind in the neutral zone.

As Komisarek jousted with Bruins enforcer Shawn Thornton, Lucic skated up behind the Canadiens player and grabbed his head with both hands, dragging him to the ice.

Lucic was assessed a double-minor for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct.

And as the horn blew to end the first, a scrum saw colossus defenceman Zdeno Chara raining blows on a hapless Komisarek - who clearly featured as the top target in the Bruins gameplan.

Though Chara sought out Komisarek, who was exchanging angry words with another Bruin, he received only a double-minor for roughing.
