3-2 win

[whitefang]

Broons fans are saying things like “if we lose this series team should skate off and skip the hand shake, Panthers don’t deserve that respect”……they so shook right now lol what a bunch of sore losers. I’m embracing the villain role right now. Love the hate.

The Broward Bullies. I love it!

I don't think the penalty discrepancy is unfair at all, Panthers have had the puck way more than the Bruins and outplayed them handily, you'll of course get more calls, the 2 legit gripes the Bs have are:

1. If you read the Athletic article on GI the Lightning callbacks make sense (both of them). I won't lie, the Bennett goal didn't. The league's explanation is that they acknowledge the push in but he wasn't going to make the save anyways, but that isn't the rule lol. Again, Panthers are clearly the much better team so I wish they could postpose some of these calls.

2. I don't really get how Benny wasn't suspended. Obviously it was a huge benefit so I'm not complaining but if I was a Bs fan I'd be annoyed lol.

Same
Get that feeling where its gonna flip around and were not gonna be so happy.

We can win without these calls, so kind of annoying to have them keep happening

 

[ShootIt]

Coyle needs one of these so a strong breeze doesn't kill him next game.

It came down to the call on the ice. There wasn't enough of a push to overturn the call which they don't like to do to begin with. Also how many times has Bob been knocked on his ass without any penalty? Net front battles.

The only thing I can think of is Coyle had positioned himself in the blue paint without any help, well before Bennett ever touched him, and the puck was in before he even started to fall on Swayman, but the on ice officials called it a good goal on the ice, and they hate reversing calls like this unless it's clearly egregious, as soon as they took a bit on the review, I thought it would be upheld at the time as a good goal for those reasons.

 

[BeezKnees]

Also, Swayman's right pad is fully extended. There's no chance of him getting any further over regardless of whether Coyle falls or not

 

[PSLguy]

This clip was posted earlier. It is pointed out that Coyle turned his skates and that is why the slight push, not a vicious crosscheck, allowed him to move forward onto Swayman.

If his skates had been to the side, dug in, the Bennett push wouldn't have moved him.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Coyle put himself in the blue paint and flopped. Swayman isn't Mr. Fantastic. It's that simple.

 

[CanePanther]

Somebody posted that the Boston fans are as irritating as the Leaf fans. Not close Bruins fans are just cry babies Leaf fans think they are entitled. They are arrogant idiots with no life. Period end of story.

 

[TotalHomer]

Monty in shambles. Hate to see it.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Swayman was crying after Barkov scored on him. I think he wanted a goalie interference call but the puck had been in his net for 2 seconds already lmao

He thinks he is.

 

[pantherbot]

That call on Bennett can go 50/50 because the NHL is inconsistent. It should be a good goal because that was a soft push from Bennett and Coyle flopped plus Sway had no chance. But sometimes the NHL goes stupid and calls even the slightest touch goalie interference.

 

[batting1k]

What about the refs?

 

[CanePanther]

Since I’ve just started posting again and reading the board it’s so amazing to have all you gurus , I am not a guru but I’m learning.
First Paul has really grown to understand that you cannot ignore a team that had won the Presidents trophy with great offensive prowess yet incorporate a biting defense had have the best of both worlds.
Bob being Bob is a true blessing and we are very lucky he’s in goal. He’s also a great team member.
Barkov is now showing us what we all knew and now we are seeing it.
Chucky can do it all is critical to the teams success in just so many ways and yet is not overly selfish.
And as a team the Panthers in general know their roles seldom lost although it happens but rarely if that.
And finally Zito the Pat Reilly of hockey has built this program to where we are envied as a organization and growing culture admired by many.

Always, AvroArrow had a slight mental breakdown with me just last night on the mains. LOL

I have hurt him irreparably... Its personal for me, I am told.

AvroArrow ? The guy that is absolutely blatantly obviously seriously NOT for the Bruins ? He hates them actually…

But yet, I’ve only encountered him in threads praising Brad Marchand…

Huh ?

 

[MarginNotes]

That celebration by Barkov. So good. Like seeing him show that emotion. He's finally become an alpha these playoffs!

After a few more goals:

 

[pb1300]

One thing is for sure, the lack of class is strong with the Bruins fan base.

I thought the Leafs fans were bad.

 

[CanePanther]

Plain and simply my loved Panther fans Bennet got away with interference as the rule stands. Not complaining

 

[TotalHomer]

The whining is incredible. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees, they have been massively outplayed the last three games but all they can focus on is on 1-2 plays.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Imagine having sympathy for Broons fans.

Imagine conceding anything to people who won't even concede that we deserve a team.

Couldn't be me.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Just saw the pressers !

Paul just OWNED those guys !!

Maurice is clearly the best !!!

lol

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Lundell looks like he found his scoring touch in the back half of the season, and once again he's elevating his game for the playoffs.

Just throwing that out there.

 

[StrangeVision]

lol

I look forward to eating crow if we win it all.

The way the refs called the interference penalties in this game - there were 4! - the goal should have been overturned. There is absolutely no consistency with these guys as several posters pointed out already.

But yeah, you are 100% right. The push was perfectly timed, but was not strong at all, and Coyle could have prevented that easily if he had stuck to his defensive assignment to block or tie up Benny.
