Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 4 - The officials throw The Bear off the cliff - Sunrise 3 BRUINS 2 - Panthers lead series 3-1

[GloveSave1]

The thing is…I don’t understand what Bruins coaches think they’re getting out of being good boys?

They can’t get effed over anymore than they already do.

We’ve seen coaches like Berube and Cooper unload with both barrels…take fines…and push their way to Cups.

Just take the fine. Embarrass the league. They don’t mind embarrassing themselves, but they hate it when their underlings do it. They’ve trained many in the media to carry their water. Grow a pair.

My last post got deleted so I’ll tone it down this time….

We are down 3-1 and fighting for our lives Tuesday. Ya’ll decide whether you want to feel sorry for yourselves or get behind these boys for Game 5. We ain’t dead, until we’re dead. Yeah we got done dirty by the officiating, but the past is the past. Win f***ing Game 5, and stay alive. That’s all that really matters at this point. I ain’t got time for feeling sorry for myself.

That's the spirit. Win game 5!

Florida is a dirty team. To beat Florida, the Bruins will have to beat them up. Is Montgomery the coach for that?

So you want the BRUINS porous defense to play short-handed much of the game. Not a good strategy against a better team.

Here is why Monty and the FO won’t say squat. The dictator that runs the NHL won’t let anyone speak about about his magical league which is simply pathetic.

I’d show up at the press conference with a lottery picture sized check with FU Bettman written in the memo space.

What's the point of watching if at the end of the day what the ref wants goes . You could build a super team but if a ref doesn't like you they'll call jack sh*t.

 

[The don godfather]

Before the season started very few predicted this talent-challenged team would even make the PO's, much less round 2 of the PO's.

Bingo post! We still in the Stanley cup playoffs! Let's go! What a opportunity. Win next game.

 

[Gordoff]

But that’s the thing - they’re not really adding much there. It’s not like the place is full. It’s sold out, but it’s not full.

And BOS-NYR would do what…50% higher ratings? 75%?

League directly had two decisions - the no suspension (not even a fine?) and the crosscheck. They went Florida both times.

This isn’t bitching about the refs. This is bitching about the league.

Yes, I'm saying that (I think) the thinking is that they're playing the long game. Build the fan base by helping them win so that the fans become like other rabid fanbases and go no matter if they become mediocre.

Better off missing them then allow your 2 top players to get punched in the face

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

What does Monty insist on keeping Lohrei and McAvoy together? McAvoy needs a stronger defensive partner (i.e. Lindholm).

I'm looking more towards the future. Florida will be in the mix for some time.

 

[Bs1011]

1st, the f'ingref, which is one word, didn't call the crosscheck, 2nd, he didn't call goalie interference, and 3rd the BRUINS get penalized for delay of game.
That was probably the worst non-call I've ever seen in a PO hockey game.

Acciari says hello

 

[rfournier103]

Well, I knew going in that Florida was the better team. But gosh dang it all to heck, I actually expected just a little more from the Bruins. This roster needs some work, and we all know that, but to be outplayed this badly is embarrassing. They just look lost out there and nobody has any answers.

As for the officiating… it’s bad. It’s not NBA bad, but they sure are trying.

I think the Bruins have one game left in the season.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Jim Montgomery is the Mitch Marner of NHL head coaches.

Blame Monty while the 11 million dollar guy makes fewer appearances than the Loch Ness Monster.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

2015 was worse

They can't bring Zacha back and let DeBrusk walk for nothing.

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

Zacha looks to be playing with a broken wrist and a lobotomy.

 

[BTO]

Like to see Oilers Panthers in Finals and Bennett do it to McDavid and let NHL suck on the backlash that would come with that

Why? McDavid doesn’t play for a small-market American team. Now if Edm were to move to Little Rock or Baton Rouge then sure.

 

[goflyakite]

You can control how many shots you have not how many penalties get called in your favor, it’s not that difficult. Bob had an .889 on 18 shots, how is this on the refs more than the Bruins?

Uhhhhh the two things are related. Usually you get less shots when playing 4-on-5.

 

[GordonHowe]

His seat may not be hot but you don’t call a press conference mid series if your seat isn’t at lease like warm.

Sweeney feeling the pressure.

Oh man.

Don't make me laugh.

As long as the seats are full, Sweeney isn't going anywhere.

Maybe - maybe - after the old man exits the scene, things will change.

Until then, go back to sleep.

haha sarcasm eh...McDavid face of NHL though

Okay, there is a grand conspiracy against the bruins. Now what? Why are you watching something you know is rigged? Do you honestly believe the bruins were the better team tonight?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Zacha's signed for 3 more seasons.

 

[22Brad Park]

Zacha's signed for 3 more seasons.

buy him out lol

 

[JAD]

The non cross check call leading to the non goalie interference reminded me of the non slew foot call in finals game 5 in 2019. Yeah, I get it, the referee will claim it was only a slight push and Coyle's momentum blocked Swayman. Heard it all before.

That said, Barkov played a very good game with a great individual effort on the go head goal showing what a true number one center looks like and can do. Some how some way the Bruins need to find a number one center.

Bruins looked exhausted in the third and seemed to be overmatched unable to generate any sustained offense.

On to game five and pray for a miracle.

No Tkachuk’s mouthguard is.

 

[BruinsFan74]

The NHL has basically turned itself into a Soccer league. So much f***ing flopping going on.
