Post-Game Talk: Controversy, thy name is Bruins vs Jets; Jets win 5-4 in SO

How is Tanev’s name not in the thread title

 

[Guffman]

Not quite, but man, what a fantastic game by Tanev. Epitomizes his work ethic.

To me, it should never be a Tanev vs Roslovic comparison as they perform different roles, but regardless, it was nice to see Tanev with a career game and even a shift in OT!

Laine on a goal less slump =(

 

[SensibleGuy]

Can’t really blame Maurice for that challenge, it’s just one of those plays you have to challenge.

No it isnt

 

[Sammy225]

Well at least JoMo may get a game or two rest so he should be ready for the playoffs

 

[Wizard204]

No it isnt

How? He saw a reply of it basically going out and thought there might be another angle that confirms it later. You can blame him all you want but if he didn’t challenge it and the bruins scored right after everybody would be one his case for not challenging it.

Nothing like nitpicking after the outcome.

 

[AWSAA]

Game suspension for Morrissey?

Niku? Deserves one this year.

 

[Guffman]

They’re actually *****ing about the refs over there. That and saying their team is trash and the Jets are overrated. The typical crap that you hear after losses.

In the end, despite us being short-handed by quite a bit, I think how they ruled the replays was correct. There was not conclusive evidence to overrule the call on the ice. I’m not so sure we scored the first one and the other play did look offside but neither with 100% conviction. I figure each team got one going their way.

BTW, I never need another team’s fans to give my team validation. Let the results speak for themselves and the playoff results will carry most of that discussion.

I don't think my brain has fully comprehended what Tanev did tonight yet and chose to instead focus on everything else that happened in the game

 

[AlphaLackey]

You just can’t challenge unless you actually see conclusive video evidence of the offside. The penalty is too high a cost

The cost of the penalty is a small fraction of the cost of a goal against. You need to be nowhere near 100% to make it a correct challenge; even 50-50 would make it a runaway correct decision to challenge.

 

[Jets2point0]

Yawn. What else is new? Winning is boring now.

Shh now true north will want to mix in some losing!

 

[DharmaBum]

Bruins feeling good about coming back only to feel the sting of defeat

and please tell me Grzelcyk's nickname is Grizzly. It's too obvious but to good to pass up

 

[SensibleGuy]

How he saw a reply of it basically going out and thought there might be another angle that confirms it later. You can blame him all you want but if he didn’t challenge it and the bruins scored right after everybody would be one his case for not challenging it.

When the cost for a failed challenge is a 5 on 3 against you when you are barely holding on to a one goal lead, you better have more than “I hoped there’d be a angle that confirmed it.”

 

[Gil Fisher]

Jack who?

Debate over. GG Tanev!

Rosie would've potted 5 tonight.

 

[Jetster231]

Congratulation to Tanev for his hat trick.

Laine with a slick move in the shootout.

Morrow with his first goal as a Jet.

My only negative is Maurice challenging the off-side and giving up the 2-man advantage for two minutes.

Agreed, you have to be POSITIVE the call is going to be reversed before you challenge.

I totally disagree.

...and based on the clips I saw i’d Say it was no where near 50-50 anyway.

 

[Jets2point0]

Love that any Bruins fans in the building have to go home sad. That is fun.

No kid should ever have to go home sad!

 

[Guffman]

Exactly. The intent is to fix clearly blown calls not hope to win a coin flip.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

stastny's disappeared, hasn't he?

That whole line has since Laines injury. Teams are checking them hard it frees up everyone else though

 

[Runforthecup]

Would we though? I've been trying to confirm if thats the case or not. Vegas may still get home ice over us even if we finish with more points (if we finish 2nd in our division and they finish 1st in theirs)

In the conference finals and Stanley Cup the team with the best record gets home ice advantage. Step on their throats the rest of the way.

 

[dratbunnies]

Can you blame them after this game?

Agreed, I don't really want our team to be hated for injuring players. We played pretty damn gritty afterwards too, and although I definitely don't think any of it went too far, I KNOW it would get me all in a tizzy if it happened to the jets.

Not when you're already killing a 5 minute major. The risk of an additional 2 minute 5-on-3 was not worth it on such a close call. IMO of course, with hindsight being 20-20...

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Laine on a goal less slump =(

popped the Winner in the shootout though.

 

[KingBogo]

Unless you go to a pro sporting event and your team loses. I went home from many games heart broken, never mind sad. It will make the ultimate prize all the more rewarding.

Say what you want but most nhl coaches would have challenged that play. Btw there was way more that I hope there was an angle.
