haha Trev, you've gotta get on the Haggs train!
The biggest issue is that when Eller snowed Rask earlier in the season, it was MUCH more egregious, and was let go. Much like an awful lot of calls this whole series. If the refs called it on Eller then called the same thing on Marchand, we've got nothing to complain about. But you can't let it go on one end of the ice, then call it down on the other end. No one's making up calls - they are complaining about the clear double standard.
Chara is still a #1, people need to give their head a shake.
But he wasn't really pulling his antics tonight-that's my point. He was racing towards the goal where we want players to be and pulled up so he would t it effete but got called for the penalty. Eller's snow shower on Rask earlier I the series (game 1 or 2) was far more purposeful and wasn't called.
A crosscheck to the head that knocks you into a goalie isn't interference it's a penalty in the other team unless these refs are the crew and it's Marchand getting crosschecked.
Marchy wasn't pulling his antics but the refs were still calling phantom penalties in him.
Marchand is a liability whether he is being a pill or playing disciplined and that is a problem.[/QUOTE]

I agree. But he needs to change and adjust on a long period of time... needs to be invisible for a moment. Then when it counts - he comes back.
On Markov, that was a bad ref call. Most of the three first Bruins call tonight were brutal! But the snow shower, don't take the chance. He could have easily avoid it. That is a bad decision, and that is what Marchand is to often. doing : bad decision. With, or without the puck, and also when he is undisciplined.
I just don't understand how you can know Seidenberg is hurt and not give up whatever it takes to get Andrew MacDonald.(Or some other top 4 D)
I know you can say it was on the offense..but the game completely changes when you are down early due to mistakes from your young D(Bart in 7, Miller in 6)

Maybe we see some changes and speed into the lineup.

Just saw the video of Looch in the handshake line, that was certainly strange and he definitely said something stupid.

Chara is still a number 1 but the decline is clearly happening. The guy was worn out half way trough the second round. Not replacing Seids really didn't help.

I think Krejci got hurt in game one against the Wings.I'm pretty sure we hear Chara is injured within the next few days.
Marchand just sucked and Krejci is about 50/50 injured but I am willing to bet Chara is nursing at least one injury.
