I still can’t believe they called that a goal.

That's just a hard hockey play..............no way Sway makes the save, so.........................
Bruins were looking forward to going home, not sure why? Totally got outplayed in a must win game.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

You have to get a little luck and calls to win it all. Every year there are a few teams who feel they got screwed by the officials.

2011?

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Its hilarious that they are interviewing Bennett after the game.

He did a great job of answering the questions. Have to appreciate his willingness to talk. Intentional or not, he should have gotten some kind of suspension. Still, he has been one of my favorite players for many years now.

 

[Osakahaus]

Don't mind me, just seeing Boston get mad over a botched call. Not like Boston has benefitted from 1000 of those in the past

I can see that going either way, really. On some nights they would call that.

 

[McGarnagle]

Bruins are completely undermanned and outgunned, only getting like 2 shots a period, but the Panthers still need the refs to hand them games on a platter.

Rangers in 3.

 

[Ocoee]

As a neutral fan, I take your totally unbiased caution under serious consideration. Thank you for the PSA to us all.

He's not wrong. The NHL is inconsistent in penalties and goalie interference calls.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

So it’s ok because Florida is outplaying them? Pretty f***ing low standards if that’s the point your making

Wah

It’s already been explained in here why it wasn’t called.

Cope.

 

[BB79]

Just shoot more

The refs will give Bruins a game misconduct for shooting at this point

 

[lucchesicourt]

It's crazy to me how everyone keeps falling for the Panthers trick. Vegas has been the only recent team that hasn't. Yeah Florida was injured that round but when they tried their shenanigans Vegas just laughed. The Bruins have already lost this series, they are so focused on going for revenge they're going to lose their heads. You beat Florida by outhockeying them, not taking a bunch of penalties and letting a very good team beat you. Almost seems like the Bruins would be happier injuring some Panthers than trying to win the series.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Florida

Don't blame us. Blame your video review coaches or God.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Not remotely close. Crosscheck to the back. Automatic call. Ref watched it. Check his bank account.

 

[bme44]

IS there a Limit to the LEVELS the NHL will go to help small market US based team . I THINK NOT

 

[Bone Density]

Can't say enough good things about Barkov. A straight up monster.

 

[Osakahaus]

The goalie interference call is BS sure

you know what isn't BS?

Allowing Sasha Barkov to walk in, embarrass your goalie, and take the lead, and then freak out as a result of not standing your ground.

 

[Unspecified]

Some people have absolutely no shame.

How you can see the new footage of the most obvious sucker punch in the face that injured him and forced him into miss the game and then say it’s a “nothing hit” is truly sad

Marchand is a d-bag and has gone out of his way to be a dirty player most of his career and now were supposed to feel what? Sympathy for him? He was going to annihilate Bennett and Bennett made him pay. Maybe next time don't go for some highlight reel check and then bitch when you get hurt.

 

[mobilus]

Remember when Gregory Campbell played for Florida Panthers? Remember thst?

Remember the email scandal where Colin Campbell was criticizing refs who gave penalties to his son? Smart move might have been to give Greg a front office job when he retired from playing.

 

[flying squirrel]

Maybe the Florida Thachuk's -vs- Rangers is to juicy for NHL/E$PN to pass up. Who knows? Canes beat Rangers, not having a big market already might of given Bruins better odds. Win some, lose some.... Bruins still had a chance, but they did not give enough championship level effort. No matter, shame we fans didn't get to see a more legit finish but that's how it goes sometimes.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Imagine explaining to soeone that does follow hockey that you cant push a teams player into his own goalie and then score, and then you watch that play.....

 

[lucchesicourt]

The point is the penalty was a crosscheck before the score. And this was obvious to everyone but the officials. Anyone know how much they are getting paid?

Bruins loved the poor officiating 2011.................lol

I agree with you there. I'm pulling for Florida, and think they are winning this game regardless.
Honestly, I don't even care about that contact. I care about the inconsistency of how they call goalie interference. You can't have guys brush up against them in the crease and disallow goals, and then let that shit happen.
Let them play, let goalies be hockey players and deal with some contact. Only disallow goals that are clear and obvious. Make it clear in an instance like this, that the contact with the defender has to be a penalty, or clarify that you can't shove or push anyone into the goalie. The ambiguity and inconsistency is what pisses everyone off.

I hear you. The inconsistency of calls in some situations is unfair. Hopefully the league will look into this. Although it’s unlikely that controversial calls would get completely eliminated.

There were worse calls in last years Carolina Islanders series than this Panthers Bruins series. Even IF they called "no goal", I bet that the Panthers would score afterwards

And he scores too. That’s rubbing salt on the wound
