Extremely unsurprisingly typical.
Not to mention likely a lie. They almost certainly saw the angle immediately.
They also don’t hit. Or hit for a bit then say k we’re done.The Refs are terrible league wide but are not the reason the Bruins are losing. They are losing because they can't clear the zone, are petrified to get hit, and can't score on grade A chances. Also not having a D man that can and will shoot the puck let's the opposition focus on the forwards limiting shots and chances and eliminating second chances!
This is true, but I really do think that you’re all missing the point of the press conference. It wasn’t to “scold” the media for asking Montgomery questions. It was to remind the media that they actually *are* the media and that they can, you know, actually call up Garry or George or whomever and ask them what the f*** it is that they think that they’re doing. Start trying to actually hold the league accountable for a change rather than being terrified of being denied “access”. You’re reporters. Go ask the league some f***ing questions and report on what they say (or refuse to say). Would’ve been better if Sweenious actually said it that way tho.
Kevin, what Sweeney said today is a terrible look for a dysfunctional franchise that wouldn't say shit if they had a mouthful. Ridiculous for Sweeney to be whining about the media to get them back in line with the big lie.No - that would just be a terrible look for the franchise.
I was seriously thinking the same thing
Sam Bennett can do no wrong in the eyes of the NHL and DoPS
Has there been a good explanation of why Bennett's goal was allowed when he clearly crosschecked Coyle into the crease and interfered with Swayman's ability to make the save??
A lot, not all of the Bruins penalties were deserved , but the embellishment from the Panthers is cringe worthy .Also, it wasn’t a hockey play when noted tough guy David Pastrnak punched a guy in the face the other night, to which he went down as if shot in the forehead. That was rightfully called a penalty. The dive wasnt. But the punch was
Of course. And the Canucks let McDavid know that's not happening. They sent him a message.So are slashes.
He’s telling the reporters why are you *just* asking Monty? Go ask the league some of these f***ing questions for a change and see what they say (or don’t say) and report on it. Go ask DOPSHIT why Bennett isn’t suspended, why the hit was “clean” and why the video didn’t come out until later. You’re reporters, so report.Montgomery challenged the play. Obviously the media is going to ask what montgomery saw on the play he challenged.
Sweeney getting in the media for that is ridiculous.
What else am I gonna say?That's the spirit...?
By crosschecking him in the head?Of course. And the Canucks let McDavid know that's not happening. They sent him a message.

Yeah it’s a terrible way to do it. It’s tone-deaf.No I am getting the point. I just think its a terrible angle to take after calling an in-series press conference in response to what's happened
Nope. The scape goat for failure is always the coach. Not referring to the Bruins are plugs but some GMs fill their teams with half assed players and fire the coach when they don't turn out to be a bunch of Gretzkys.Some folks in the media have no problem calling out these mistakes by the officials and Toronto, but the Bruins front office can't muster up the courage to do the same! SMH
22 penalties in 4 games man is nutsThe Refs are terrible league wide but are not the reason the Bruins are losing. They are losing because they can't clear the zone, are petrified to get hit, and can't score on grade A chances. Also not having a D man that can and will shoot the puck let's the opposition focus on the forwards limiting shots and chances and eliminating second chances!
The crosscheck wasn't intended to be to the face. But yes, Vancouver sent a message that they won't stand for it. Would be nice to have players like that on the Bruins. Verbally the Bruins are all for one and one for all, then they hit the ice and cower. They can take this into their own hands but don't. Their ok with being punkedBy crosschecking him in the head?
So you're okay with it all? Not finding any of the officiating umm suspect?This was a bridge year to me
I’m on record here 98 points battling for 7th 8th seed
Wiped out first round
Very good season and team will be a lot better to me - 25 Dudes will disagree but that’s why they are the 25 Dudes
This is exactly my point: all Emily Kaplan is doing is repeating the league’s official line, which they fed her and want out there. Why doesn’t she go and ask them precisely how they can think that? Stick a microphone in their faces and ask them. And on camera to boot. But we know why - ESPN isn’t going to bite the hand that feeds them. It’s a conflict of interest. They’re not actually “reporters” (duh).A f***ing JOKE.
They should not spend one dime til they fix centre holes.
I wouldn’t have you not watched him play he is way past his prime.
Zacha- 0 goals, 5 ptsNope. The scape goat for failure is always the coach. Not referring to the Bruins are plugs but some GMs fill their teams with half assed players and fire the coach when they don't turn out to be a bunch of Gretzkys.
Yeah I don’t want guys crosschecking guys to the face over slashes. Cheap shots to the head? Sure.The crosscheck wasn't intended to be to the face. But yes, Vancouver sent a message that they won't stand for it. Would be nice to have players like that on the Bruins. Verbally the Bruins are all for one and one for all, then they hit the ice and cower. They can take this into their own hands but don't. Their ok with being punked
