Luke Schenn is 10 kinds of pissed off

And really, he should be. He might not be the captain, but he sure had a lot of captainly comments to make after the Leafs were shut out by the Sens (THE SENS PEOPLE. WHO LOST 4-1 TO THE OILERS LAST NIGHT), which was the 5th time they were shut out in ~20 games. Here are LukeSmash's quotes:

“You can say all you want about getting shots. I think guys are playing real soft in their end and in front of the net; guys aren’t competing, getting to the hard areas. It’s pretty easy for their D-men to box our forwards out, we’re just not battling hard enough.

“Have a little will and take pride in getting to the net and take pride in scoring goals,” he said. “Goals don’t come free in this league and from the perimeter. Guys gotta be a little more hungrier.

“You can’t just blame the forwards. I think the defense could probably do a better job of getting shots through, but up front we’ve gotta have a little bit of determination to get to the front of the net and bear down and score some goals."

Why this guy isn't captain yet is beyond me. 

Matt Hunwick: Goodbye to you!

Today we awaken to a world where Matt "Munch" Hunwick is no longer a Bruin. For this, dear friends, I do not shed a tear. Don't get me wrong, Munch is a cutie:

But in hockey, cute only goes so far. He was always on the rush, generally beating the forwards to the crease, but with little to show for it. In 164 games in the NHL, he has 13G and 32A for 45P, along with 76 PIMs and 150 SOG.I know, I know. You can't look at a defenceman's numbers and say how good or bad he is, except for the hits numbers, which NHL.com either stops counting or I forgot how to find them. But let's celebrate Munch for a few moments because as his quote on leaving the B's was:

“It’s an Original Six team with great fans,” he said. “I grew up watching the Bruins. Growing up in Michigan I had a chance to watch the Bruins on Hockey Night in Canada, and from the time I was drafted until today, I’ve loved every minute of being a part of this organization.

“It’s been great. The city is phenomenal and I love living downtown. It’s been a great experience overall, and that’s what makes it so disappointing.”

Oh Munch. I have the snifflies now. Here's a few pictures of him to celebrate his time with the B's.

But let's be honest. This hippie will probably be better off in Denver with his university BFF Kevin Porter.

 

 

Seeya, Munch.
