Pastafarian!
This goes to the heart of the issue.
I'm not going to claim that the league or the officials are conspiring against the Bruins, but there's no doubt in my mind that superstars get preferential treatment.
If any of the guys you mentioned were the recipient of the hit, I'm guessing that there is AT LEAST a phone call.
Conversely, if either of the above, (Or P.K. as an example) committed that foul, I'm guessing no hearing at all.
Our own Marchand is a punk and has deserved most of the penalties he's received. That said, I strongly believe that if he had been drafted top 5 and began scoring high numbers in his first year, he'd have gotten away with many of them.

Barely Irrelevant
This has been going on for years.
Google “Crosby dirty plays” or “Subban slew-foot”.
There are compilations for both and each of them could have easily been suspended 4-5-6 times.
That’s the problem. If you aren’t fined or suspended for the first or second, you never have a history when you commit the 3rd or 4th offense.

Based on what has happened with open season on the B's, I think Sweeney should sign a goon, and dress him early in the season next year and have him make a few statements. Then he can bring him back out as needed. If the DOPS, isn't going to do their job, Sweeney needs to find someone who will. This team is good and deep enough that they can carry a 13th forward like that.
For those who can't see the tweet:

Here’s the full injury rundown per Bruce Cassidy:
David Backes - looks good to go
Zdeno Chara - out
Jake DeBrusk - out
Matt Grzelcyk - game-time decision
Sean Kuraly - out, upper-body
Charlie McAvoy - out
Rick Nash - out, working out off the ice
They are rather thin skinned.
If they are bad tonight I will be letting them know (even though it does no good).
Your English is just fine. Welcome to the board!!!! It is especially nice when a fan of the Evil Empire joins the Forces of Truth & Justice

Easier from up here
Every time I hear about Backes I remember this Eddie shore story. Boy have times changed.
-----------------------------
Once defenseman Don Johns was immobilized on a hospital bed, suffering a 40-stitch cut in his leg. The phone rang. It was Shore. "Mis-ter Johns," he said, "you ought to be ready to play pretty soon."
" 'But Eddie,' I told him, 'I can't even turn my leg....' " Next thing I know he hung up. For a minute I thought maybe I was babying myself. So I called the doc and told him to look at the leg. He did and told me I'd be crazy if I got out of bed in the next couple of days."
By the end of the week Johns was released from the hospital and reported to Shore.
"Mis-ter Johns," Shore ordered, "you're playing tonight."
"He played me for three minutes," says Johns, "and then suspended me for a week. 'When I played hockey,' he told me, 'I once had 100 stitches in the leg and I was out only three—no, two and a half—days.'"

Neely = HOF
Holden over McQuaid?
I would rather have this:
Chara-Carlo
Krug-McQuaid
Gryz-Miller
Edit: Just saw that Chara is ruled Out for tonight and Gryz a GTD. Means McQuaid is in and maybe Dr Cross if Gryz can't go...
Bruins have a big game tonight, with first place on the line - The Boston Globe
The Bruins hope to have team captain Zdeno Chara, fresh from signing a one-year contract extension, back in the lineup vs. Tampa Bay
Defenseman Charlie McAvoy, sidelined for nearly a month with a wrenched knee, took the ice in a red (noncontact) sweater for the morning skate.
One surprise: Matt Grzelcyk was in uniform for the workout.
David Backes, out since suffering a deep gash to his thigh March 17, also participated in the workout. He only returned to skating Tuesday.

And then there were 2. Pasta and Schaller as the last ones standing without having missed time due to injury.
