My issue, as always, is that they overreact to the smallest things and often ignore some pretty blatant ones.
McAvoy getting tripped vs. TB in the playoffs a few years back that led directly to a goal.
The hit on Acciari vs. St. Louis.
Trouba literally swinging his stick and hitting Frederic in the head, only garnering a meager fine.
Then of course, last night’s Bennett goal.
Sometimes it just gets to be too much to ignore.

Don't forget a clear hook on Marchand vs Tampa a few postseason ago as well on a breakaway.
The Lauko fiasco game 3.
Everyone gets it. But the true essential fact is even more fundamental than that. You win when you put the puck in the net more than your opponent. Lots of games are won by teams who are outshot or outplayed by their opponents. And the B's were winning until that illegal tying goal.

I am completely sick and tired of the Bruins having calls and/or non-calls and reviews getting completely blown which become a distinct advantage to the other teams with immediate effect.
After the Blues series I gave up on this league and this just cements my way of thinking.
The NHL has a perpetual pie in the face when it comes to officials and rules enforcement as you can add this turd on the truckload of manure that is the NHLs record here....

I think Sweeney is just speaking before they board the plane. I don't think it's an actual full on press conference

Florida better team - and even if Bennett got 2 for cross checking the Cats likely win in 6 or 7
However the Bruins likely win this game - they kill the penalty keep the lead and go on the PP
Still would have been fun to have best of 3 and see if Bruins could get this to 7
Clearly the Cats have a Cup type of team and Bruins don’t but it would have been fun to be there Friday night in Boston

Al wtf
Did you have to bring up Accari
That is the worst call in my time going to games considering timing and importance
It could have decided the SC
I just want the Bruins to be competitive lol i know the Panthers are the better team, but at least give yourselves a chance to win
Last night they did…for about 25 minutes. Then back on their bullshit once things didn’t go their way
Yes same here, I never expected that much for this year, the fact they beat the leafs again is good enough for this year. Next year though, no more carry over from Bergeron and Krejci, plus some contracts they will not re-sign. They will have enough room to build a pretty good contender through free agency and trades if they are smart.
Qwitcha' bitchin' bout the Refs, they have been completely consistent. Ekblad steers Lauko into goalie, 2 min minor Boston. Bennett pushes Coyle into goalie, goal, challenge, 2 min minor Boston. Model of consistency.

It’s probably wrong to say but I’d be way more pissed if this was last years team and my feeling was the Bruins were Cup worthy and better team
I’m in ‘thank God they beat the Leafs, we are playing with house money’
Clearly the organization and many here don’t think that way but I look at Bruins is a great middle weight fighting a very strong heavy weight who’s more than power
Tomorrow night they are having a thing for us at Garden to watch the game and if it was tied I was definitely going - now I’m deflated and not into it
Beating Florida 3 straight without a healthy Marchand highly unlikely

I'm not a conspiracy type either. There are usually simpler and better explanations. But in theory, purely incompetent officiating should cut both ways for both teams. That's not what we've seen in this series, by a long shot. So it's not unreasonable or illogical to conclude that what we're likely seeing is either: 1) bias from the officials (conscious or subconscious) or 2) an agenda.

i remember there being a call in the series against Ottawa that spiked my blood pressure, but can't recall the specifics

Tkachuk pretended he got pole axed twice went down like a wet rag playing possum one eye watching the ref. Ears waiting for a whistle. Refs called Bruins on both. Truth is Bruins need a couple of Kenny the Rats back in Boston.
McAvoy scored I believe and called back. Goaltender interference perhaps?
Welcome friendly Florida mod, our guest once again.

ottawa literally won that series on an OT power play goal where bobby ryan elbowed riley nash in the face and then when nash gave him a little shot back ryan flailed and they only called nash.

actually after looking it up that was game 3, but still a critically important moment where they got the call completely wrong
I believe it was in OT and a Sens player elbowed a Bruin player in the head in the corner, no call of course and the Bruins threw a punch in anger and got a penalty, the Sens then scored to win. I can't remember the Bruins player, but unfortunately I remember that play.
I am honestly so grateful to the Toronto maple leafs lol

That's right. Many ''better'' teams have lost to teams that played and executed a structured defensive system, had good goaltending and scored a at opportune times. Two of the Bruins breakaways didn't count as a shot on net.
