WHO WILL LOSE IT TONIGHT AT THE GARDEN WHEN THE BRUINS FACE THE CANUCKS?

2/4/2014

The last time the Bruins faced the Canucks was on December 14th in Vancouver.  The Canucks rolled over the Bruins who were down 6 players due to injury and suspension.  Although the Bruins out-shot the Canucks 41-30, they lost 2-6 and gave up a shorthanded goal in the process.
After the Bruins tied it up early in the second period on a Reilly Smith goal, Vancouver coach, John Tortorella, "lost it" on his team during a timeout.  The passionate timeout worked well as the Canucks retook the lead and never looked back. 

Later on in the period Brad Marchand began to "lose it" as he was giving the Vancouver bench the ring-finger and pretending to kiss his Stanley Cup ring.  In the third period Marchand finally  "lost it" after getting his eyes gouged by Ryan Kesler.  On his way back to the bench Marchand acted like he was lifting the Stanley Cup and gave it a kiss.  While Marchand's antics did not assist the Bruins in that game, it did spearhead his improved play.  After having talks with Claude Julien, Brad has had 19 points and only 20 penalty minutes.  Prior to that game he had 14 goals to 32 penalty minutes.     
Now, when it comes to "losing it", coach Tortorella has managed to set the bar high this season with his antics against Calgary on the 18th of January.  After a brawl broke out at the drop of the puck and 142 minutes in penalties were distributed, Tortorella tried to get into the Flames' locker room at the first intermission.  For his conduct, Tortorella was suspended for 15 days without pay.  Last night's 2-0 loss to the Red Wings was the first game Tortorella has coached since his suspension.

Even if someone doesn't "lose it", tonight's game should be entertaining.  A struggling Roberto Luongo may be in net for Vancouver tonight.  The last time Luongo played in Boston didn't end well for him as he got pulled during 2 games of the 2011 Finals.
