ECQF GAME 5 7:11 PM - Florida Panthers @ BOSTON BRUINS- ESPN, ESPN+, CBC, SN, TVAS - Boston leads series 3-1

[WarriorofTime]

Ekblad doing his best to have the Series end there and then

 

[Stonehands 1]

Another Wes McCauly called game

 

[Nikki Potnick]

McAvoy's was a pretty bad slash and a penalty. That's the difference.

Yes, slashing a goalie is not a penalty/instigating.

This is isn't anything new. Slash the goalie, your gonna get punished for it, and the refs will allow it.

 

[BayStBullies]

That Florida player needed to pull a Point and dive to a referee. Then wait in the locker room until a call is made.

 

[PromisedLand]

McAvoy has one of the most punchable faces ever. I don't know how he doesn't get a penalty there. That's clearly a penalty.

AND

the firm the current head of DoPS has a stake in is giving "free" merch for NHL team. No wonder bruins get away with murder in playoffs and nobody ever gets suspended either

 

[danpantz]

Ekblad almost threw it into his own net

That would have been a wild way to end this series lmao

 

[BlueSeal]

Bob came to play.

 

[Ol' Jase]

What on god's green earth was Ekblad doing? Lol.

 

[behemolari]

No way that's not at least a minor.

100% minor, maybe even major in some cases like vice versa

 

[bb_fan]

People are genuinely surprised the refs are ignoring obvious penalties committed by the Bruins?

Just save yourself the time from now on, just post:

'my usual comment'

Eveyone will know what you're trying to say

Come on now. Bennett literally taps his blocker. The two actions weren't remotely similar.

 

[GMR]

Ekblad almost pulled a Marcus Smart there.

 

[BMOK33]

What on god's green earth was Ekblad doing? Lol.

I think he just assumed BOS was gonna play for the OT in that situation.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Beautiful save by Bob, almost a terrible mistake by Ekblad, though looks like it wouldn't have gone in before the time ran out.

Stupid freaking play still.

 

[Ezekial]

It's not about "expecting to get hit", it's about calling a clear penalty.

Refs always allow a little retaliation when players take liberties with goalies. Get over it.

 

[BTP]

that would have been a godly way to end the series

 

[Tryamw]

What on god's green earth was Ekblad doing? Lol.

Scaring Florida fans forever..

 

[Zalos]

Ekblad almost became the laughing stock of the NHL. That would have been a historic goal.

Not all slashes are created equal. The McAvoy was a huge hack and has been called lot's these playoffs after a whistle.

This isn't a Leafs/Tampa game. Sorry for any confusion.

 

[BayStBullies]

think how Detroit felt all those years being in the "western" conference and on your same timezone

They probably have regrets now. They might make the playoffs in the West.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Come on now. Bennett literally taps his blocker. The two actions weren't remotely similar.

And McAvoy tapped him back. Bennett instigated something that he shouldn't have, and refs have ALWAYS allowed the defending team get a shot or two in for it.

Nothing new.

Holy tinfoil hat batman

An ejection would’ve been completely appropriate for that dangerous and violent play by mcavoy

embarrassing non call

 

[Straight Fire]

What on god's green earth was Ekblad doing? Lol.

That was crazy ridiculous lol
