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

[KCC]

Roughing penalties in the playoffs shouldn't exist. lol

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Hall still plays for the Bruins? Thought he was in Arizona...

He is pretty invisible

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Bob must be terrifying for his fans lol

He is. We usually bet whether he lets in the first shot of the game.

 

[zeykshade]

Bennett what a stupid penalty to take.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

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.

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.

It's not allowed mostly because it's a question of player safety - i.e. prevention. Player safety > "controversy" (and it's more fans whining more than anything, 90% of the time)

"If the stick doesn't it anyone, who cares", sure, but by making it legal, you'd have players swinging their stick in the air far more often, thus leading to more injuries resulting from said high sticks.

 

[Philar299]

dumb icing.. he had space to keep going then dump it in

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO Bennet dummying Bergeron there

too bad there was a penalty, Bennet was mugged on panther PP but ref didn't call

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He is pretty invisible

Does he have 4 or 5 goals this series?

 

[Pi]

Sam Bennett man what the f***. What a dumb penalty to take against a PP that’s killed your ass every game.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

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

And yet, you're going to keep watching.

 

[mkatcherin00]

What a braindead penalty by Bennett lol

 

[danpantz]

Hall still plays for the Bruins? Thought he was in Arizona...

That was two teams ago.

He’s got 8 points in this series lol

 

[ORRFForever]

What is Bennett doing?

Why not go into intermission with a lead?

Having said that, the refs have been too involved in this game. Let them play.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Talk about poking the bear Bennett. We will see I guess

 

[danpantz]

He is pretty invisible

He’s got 8 points in this series lmao

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

One of the better Bruins this series actually

Ah. First game I've had a chance to watch this series. Guy just screams 'Yotes' to me for some reason

 

[zeykshade]

Roughing penalties in the playoffs shouldn't exist. lol

I think that one was justified. Bennett removed Bergeron's bucket. That specifically was a point of emphasis when they made the "gotta leave the ice if you lose your lid" rule.

Now, Maroon hitting Giordano in the hip and getting called for roughing from 50' away...agree. Not a thing that should exist in the playoffs.

That's his game. You live and die with it.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Bennett what a stupid penalty to take.

I went back and looked. I saw it as mutual combat. Take both or take no one.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

18 year old Sam Bennett

 

[mkatcherin00]

That was two teams ago.

He’s got 8 points in this series lol

Holy f*** did he go to Arizona? I thought he went to Buffalo and then BOS I forgot lol

 

[Pablo El Perro]

18 year old Sam Bennett

Isn't he 26 or so now?

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

I just want this series to keep going lol

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Failed clears usually end up in the back of your net

Removing someone's helmet = roughing.

I guess they could let that go but unlike some other rules, it's pretty easy to call, because you can easily see when someone loses their helmet. Not exactly something you can hide or do in secret.
