ECQF Game 6: Boston Bruins @ Florida Panthers | 7:30PM ET | TNT, CBC, SN, TVAS, BSFL, NESN

[DangleCity]

If this were the Oilers I can’t imagine how I’d feel. That seemed like a major momentum changer

Huge momentum swing, refs insert themselves into the series

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Ullmark been flailing around more than MAF lately

I've been telling ya'll, it wasn't long ago that Linus was splitting time with Tokarski in Buffalo....lol.

They need to sit Bergeron and Krejci. Those guys are too slow to keep pace against the panthers.

 

[zeykshade]

It's also NOT the rule. It has to be a pass otherwise any defl;ection off a hand would cancel a go

It kinda is the rule and a bunch of people who're paid a bunch of money just took a look at it and said, "You know what? That is the rule so the Panthers have a case...No goal."

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

That was obviously a hand pass by the rules and the officials were correct to call it back.

But also obviously, Boston got hosed. They earned that goal and the hand pass was pretty incidental, IMO.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

So Forsling trips and then cross checks DeBrusk and doesn't allow him to get to his feet but the puck brushes a stitch on his glove and they think that constitutes a hand 'pass'

real nice league we have here

I'd be fine with reviewing for missed penalties. It would both stop and start a lot of whining.

He made a motion towards the puck with his glove and touched it. That's the rule.
Dumb but still what it is

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

They're allowing a review for that because San Jose got away with a very obvious hand pass that resulted in the GWG in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals that all 4 officials somehow missed and which, if any one of them had noticed it and reported it to one of the referees, the goal would have been waived off, and the GMs decided that should be something that can be reviewed.

Which was crap. Maybe they were giving San Jose a gift after screwing them in all calls for 10 years.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

They need to sit Bergeron and Krejci. Those guys are too slow to keep pace against the panthers.

I've thought Bergeron has been good, but not watching him too closely.

 

[KCC]

I'd take Ullmark out and put Swayman in. Have no faith in him.

His rebound control has been terrible.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Allow high stick goals while we're at it and I'd be fine with it. If the stick doesn't hit anyone, who cares.

If you have the skill to get your stick on the puck it should be in play.
I don't disagree.
Would get rid of lots of controversy.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Anyone cheering that kind of call doesn’t appreciate the game of hockey. It doesn’t end with the Bruins.

We should change the rule book any time the actual rules hurt the team we cheer for!!! That would make the game better.

 

[Gravity]

Arguably the worst coach in the league gets saved by an absolute garbage challenge.

 

[Coach Parker]

Next goal wins.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

His rebound control has been terrible.

Definitely.

 

[Super Cake]

These reviews suck when it goes against your team, but are awesome when it goes in your teams favor.

 

[ijuka]

Don't know if I've ever seen a choke job by a goalie like the one by Ullmark in this series. I know I was saying he deserves the Vezina but this is seriously pathetic. Getting outgoalied by Bobrovsky.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

People have pucks bounce off their skate with no intention and the play stands?

Skate doesn't equal hand.....

Rule sucks, but the right call was made. Move on.

28:38 or more left to decide Game 6

 

[zeykshade]

These reviews suck when it goes against your team, but are awesome when it goes in your teams favor.

They're pretty good when you don't have a dog in the fight too...

 

[KCC]

Definitely.

So I guess FLA fans should want him to stay in the game then. lol

 

[Ted Hoffman]

The rule is effimg garbage and who cares? They ignor rules 20 times a game.

1. By that "logic" every rule is garbage to someone.
2. Life isn't fair.
3. We're ... what, about halfway through the 2nd period? Then on average, there's been another 9 hand passes by the offense that have occurred, that the officials didn't call. Can you point any of them out?

It's controversial because it has no impact on the actual play.

Doesn't matter. As soon as "in the referee's discretion, it had an impact on the play" gets written into the rule book, it's yet another thing for people to bitch and whine about and we're left grasping for what a given referee thinks and why they interpret a play one way while a different referee interprets the same thing a different way, and ...

This way, it's a black-and-white rule. Period.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Don't know if I've ever seen a choke job by a goalie like the one by Ullmark in this series. I know I was saying he deserves the Vezina but this is seriously pathetic. Getting outgoalied by Bobrovsky.

Bob hasn't played much better, but he does have more Vezinas, so give Linus his.

 

[Super Cake]

They're pretty good when you don't have a dog in the fight too...

True. I am personally just hoping for overtime.

 

[CrownofThornton]

We should change the rule book any time the actual rules hurt the team we cheer for!!! That would make the game better.

Was there a visible pass in that sequence? It’s a shit call regardless of who it benefits. Maybe Debrusk shouldn’t have grasped his stick on that play.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

How is it that your everyday furry fetishist can afford better quality and more detailed suits than most NHL clubs do with their mascots? Wtf is that "Panther?" Embarrassing
