Post-Game Talk: ECQF Game 3 - B's get robbed in OT - Ottawa leads series 2-1

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I felt really bad for Nash. He's been a solid depth guy for us this series and you could tell he really felt like he let the team down. I hope the guys lift him up for the next game and he comes out flying.

Ottawa guys were glowing over his owning up to it and said kids today should follow that example. A lot was also made of the fact that next game they will probably call way more than we just saw. That's both great for our PP, and kind of terrifying for our vulnerable PK with all the injuries.

I'm still so livid about last night.

This is the hardest time I've had getting over a loss in years.

Bruins definitely need to be better and can't make excuses for everything, but as a fan it really sucks to see two teams play a great game with a razor thin margin only to have the refs make themselves the star of the show with a completely unnecessary call in OT.

It doesn't help that Ottawa seems to be really trying to draw these ticky-tack calls with embellishment (in the case of Bobby Ryan anyway).

This is just incredibly frustrating to watch because even though I didn't have high hopes for a deep run, seeing how close these games are makes me realize that the Bruins, if healthy, are clearly the superior team and would be firmly in control of this series of not for the injuries. So to see them getting screwed by the refs when they're already keeping it close with 3 or their top 4 D injured just feels like piling on and makes it really hard to invest time and emotion into this series.

I am just hoping that karma comes around and we get a call to win us a game like the sens got last night. It is hard enough to win with all the injuries on defense nevermind the refs cheating for the other team. Clearly the sens are not a great team so this is still winnable

Sens aren't a great team. But they have a top 3 player in the world. I'll admit the call in OT was bad. But the reffing was awful throughout the entire game. Tim Peel is a joke. Sens got screwed on a few calls and cost them a goal too. Problem is players didn't know what was a penalty. They'd let stuff go and then call the exact same thing later. Frustrating. Good series so far guys. Don't think we've seen either teams best performances yet.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I maintain that Anderson looks extremely beatable right now. The issue is so does Rask. But if you get rubber on Anderson, he's gonna let 3-4 in.

Super frustrating to watch the inconsistency both ways. Even when Stone hammered Chara with a slash and there was no call. All of a sudden later in the game Backes gets slashed by Phaneuf and it's a penalty...either call them all or call none, inexcusable game by the refs.

100% agreement. Tim Peel shouldn't have a job. Every fan base hates him.

this. embellishing motherers.

Neutral fan here...I would have given both of them 2 minute penalties.

Pretty good interview...Nilan mentions the Stone slash a few times but really the whole even up calls started when Boston got penalties in the Methot and Karllson stuff...evens it up then but not in OT...

The whole damn thing is maddening...those 2 refs should not get anymore games in the next round

Ironically, Dave Jackson who did such a horrid job in 2014 with Habs series didn't get picked to ref playoffs this year... so....Peel and Furlatt are considered better refs...scary stuff

Not sure why some people are so upset with Moore's decision to chase Karlsson around the net. Sure, maybe not the best play but in the overall scheme of the factors that contributed to the goal, I'd say it ranks lower than 1) Cross's spotty coverage and 2) the bad line change.

I mean, did you expect Moore to post up between the dots and hem Karlsson in behind the net indefinitely? He's gonna make a play either way.

 

[Fossy21]

Disappointing that after firing back 3 straight goals, that momentum didn't seem to keep them going. Almost as if they took their foot off the gas at the game and played down to the Sens level for a little bit.

Huh? They had 3-4 great chances to score in the third. Ottawa had barely anything. Anderson made a few huge saves, some of them quite lucky (Krejci hitting his motionless pad when he has 50% of the net to shoot at, etc.)

It's a monumnetally stupid decision, because he can't catch him and it creates a 5-3 going the other way, with one of the greatest passing defenseman ever with the whole sheet of ice in front of him.

It's indefensible and remarkably dumb.

It was hardly the worst play in that sequence. The greatest passing defenseman in the game was going to make a pass to someone, or skate around Moore - regardless.

but if Moore doesn't go behind the net, he at least starts he sequence between Karlsson and all the guys he could pass to. It allows him to at least be a factor in the play, by going behind the net he removes himself completely from the equation.

 

[PB37]

What Moore should have done was hang in front of the net and try to slow Karlsson's pace down. The Bruins were in the middle of a D change and it looked like Chara wasn't expecting the play to come back down the ice as quickly as it did. The bad change and Ryan ( or was it Turris ) catching that puck on our blueline was a direct consequence of forcing Karlsson out from behind the net.

It really was the worst play of the sequence. With he Bruins changing, his job was to stall Karlsson as long as he could instead he did the opposite of that.

 

[bobbyorr04]

ryan is a such a ****ing dirty little weasel. embellishment up the ass. he deserves a royal ****kicking.

...he deserves a little western justice!

uhhh, what comes out of that guy's butt?

My cousin is 12 and they're already teaching him to never ever do that. I'm not sure what else to say, other than Moore knows better.

on the pk you never chase a guy. everyone knows this.
chara probsbly thought he had time to change. but moore chased karlsson out wuick and actually made the play unfold. bonehead plays all around but none of it happens if moore posts up at the dots.
im done with this game now. lol. onto game4

because there isn`t a world where Moore so much as comes within a half dozen strides of Karlsson who, even not 100% healthy would leave him in the dust

would have been a bit different if Karlsson was picking up the puck in the corner and going behind the net with Moore already establishing a solid angle to attack or put pressure on him but that wasn`t the case

I expect him to post up between the dots until the line change is over. That's his job, he blew it. We are talking Hockey 101.

If that was my wife that was sitting next to the stick swinging... I don't know what I'd do

Moron fan yes.. yet how hard woulda it have been too pull out of his hand ?

Hey let it go and let security deal with it ..

I don't give to Shhitts where it's was this should never get this far.
