ECSF-Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins (FLA leads 3-2)

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Did I? Pointing out that Boston got a more favorable whistle and leaving it at that isn't complaining. I don't think that the refs had an impact on the game. Panthers didn't put up a good enough effort and let Boston grind out a 2-1 win. Simple as that.

Favorable whistle? How about the 1st period when the official stopped play in the offensive zone to ask Bobrovsky if his shoulder was surviving?

I don't know that I've ever seen play stopped because a goalie made a routine save

Amazing what can happen when both teams play by the same set of rules, eh? Methinks the league had a talk with the series supervisor who subsequently had a talk with the teams. Last thing the league needs is to have Bennett concuss another Bruin. Mind you he still has two more games so.

Still not even with the incessant Florida embellishment. It needs to be called.

and you got the coin flip Goalie interference call, were only called for one penalty instead of two on the too many men and tripping penalty. We can do this all day if you really want to try and play the ref victim again.

Nah. Good goal. Big bob was beat clean

Don't worry though, I'm sure Florida will continue to go down insanely easy to draw a few more calls that you can cheer about.

The way he fell to his knees and totally losing his crease must’ve made the ref think that shot knocked him silly. Idk, that was strange.

If both teams could lose that would be best. Seeing Boston lose three in a row in the garden would be epic.

it was really strange. I thought maybe his mask was about ready to come off or something, as that seems to happen a ton these days. Then I thought maybe he took a puck to the throat?

You can understand some frustration when it turns out there is literally nothing wrong and play just stopped for no reason like that. One of the more random stoppages I've ever seen.

It's not a game 7, so maybe that helps? No way to tell. They have been dogshit at home this post season

How ironic.

100 year history. Down 3 games to 1 in playoffs on 25 occasions. Never come back and won in 25 attempts. Swayman superhero status if the Bruins take a series down 3-1 for the first time in franchise history.

With the rabbit punch on Marchand, and some controversial goalie interference calls both ways in consecutive games, this series was doomed to create a lot of fan bickering.

Happened to the Panthers in the Final last year. Bad whistle for sure.

Same as every other series I think. The trouble makers are the trouble makers, the contrarians continue their ways, and the others just kinda go back and forth agreeing and disagreeing with the opposing teams crew.

Same variety in every bunch

To be fair, I wish he hadn’t made the save lol

It's weird that we are now divers... this is new. i don't like it anymore than you do. are we really though or is it just a few bad actors



On a different note law of averages...

Couple posts last night.. calls missed etc... Truely felt like karma a bit.. although panthers effort was game 1 ish

 

[Strangle]

Recall that it was Aaron Rome of Vancouver who threw the series biggest hit knocking Horton out. And other than the Sedins, the canucks were largely happy to play chippy and physical hockey.

That the bruins were big and strong and physical is true.

I don’t recall a bruin cheap shotting a Canuck and knocking him out of the game. Calling out Bennett for his punch that concussed marchand isn’t an excuse…it’s what happened.

The bruins hurt players with illegal plays that don’t get called all the time, with cheap shots

Just look at this one on Matthews that took him out of the lineup in round 1

That was an awesome tackle, but the Bruins didn't give Matthews indigestion

that's the key. Officiating has been pretty shitty across the board, but ultimately the better team has won each game this series. No matter how we feel about the calls from game to game, the better team is 5 for 5.

What the hell would he be aiming for beside the head?

[KillerMillerTime]

Terrible no show, still could have won, off to game 6

Isn't easy maintaining an emotional peak in a collision sport against a team with enough good players and hot goalie, to win in 5.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

“home ice advantage”
Both teams seem better on the road


Or if rhino could’ve dialed in one of the several chances he had.

Coulda, woulda, should ha is a losers lament.........

[KillerMillerTime]

Bruins better without Marchand? Is Brad holding the team back?

Just like Matthews with the Leafs back in that series thread? Lol

First Bruins PO win w\o any 2011 player.

It wouldn't be a complete season without the Bruins being eliminated in front of their fans, so I fully expect a 2-0 loss tomorrow. Goal midway through the third followed by an empty netter.

Don't bother because I dusted him yesterday and threw him out of the club Gronk style...lol.
