Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 5 - YOU BET WE'RE ALIVE!!!!!! Game 6 FRIDAY 7 PM at TD Garden

[Bruinfanatic]

And the final decision makers of the rules, the ones who come up with them and have to enforce them, said Bennnett checking Coyle into Swayman didn't impede his ability to make the save.

Everyone has an opinion

And they got one wrong and one right

 

[Grimey]

Last comment I'll make on the subject in this thread since I already thought I wasn't going to elaborate but here we are.

This video sums up how I view the play. Same focus that I have on where the interference is.

Heinen interferes with his skate but my guess on the final ruling is that he had just enough time to reset and attempt a save. Or maybe they thought OEL guided Heinen into Bob, or saw OEL knock the stick out of his hands and that was the focus of Maurice’s challenge…I don’t know how it works, they seem to screw this call up a lot.

 

[Dr Hook]

I believe I was there too. Was part of the show acoustic?

Yes, think it was! Damn it was a long time ago lol.

 

[Otherworld]

NHL has pie on its face with the way the goaltender interference call went... Thats what happens when you do not call things the way they should be...

If it was we could be looking at a different series.

Proud of the boys for laying it all on the line. Gotta do the same at home boys.

Can’t trust the opinion of someone who hasn’t made an appointment yet.

Point out 1 time where I even brought up any contact made with Bobrovskys stick.

1 time in any of my posts on this subject.

And when you realize that I never did, make an appointment with an optometrist.

We're lucky it was Heinen I feel like anyone else interferes a little more and gets called.

The missed call against us probably influenced it somewhat. Not enough to call the goal back regardless but still.

 

[Gordoff]

My God I don't know how I missed this- Woodstock taking no shit???

But if they let the video keep going, 2 second later he kissed him. What's up wit' Dat!?!

Fixed.

 

[BMC]

I don't understand the Heinen hate. Probably been said, he is the current version of PJ Axelsson. Never a bad thing.

When he first played for the Bruins that is what I thought too. Still do.

PJ remains my all time favorite Bruin

 

[Sheppy]

It's been the better part of a day and I still have zero idea why they blew the play dead in the first. Like completely dumbfounded.

It's shit like that where I would like to see them have some sort of explanation. Literally everyone was confused.

 

[whatsbruin]

You could replace Pasta with Riley Nash in this series and we wouldnt notice a difference.

I am hoping that Brad can return but I also have my doubts. Just seeing him in the tunnel "bumping" the guys, they were so careful and it seemed like he was pretty fragile. I am glad they had his jersey hanging in the locker room and that he was there with them. Concussions are no joke, but the NHL is so serious about protecting against head shots, it really shows with player "safety" and their actions.

If the NHL was serious about head shots, they would have done something about Trouba.

 

[BMC]

My glasses just fogged up

You gotta look out for the quiet ones like Danton, they'll fool you everytime!

When the official put his hand on Bob’s shoulder afterwards? Yeah, I was saying to my father going into the third that we still didn’t get an explanation for that.

We all want to see every Bruin player perform at their best. We have to remember most of us posting on here couldn't carry any player's jock on this team as far as hockey talent.
These guys are playing in the best league in the world. Still we all have passion and want to see the Bs win. Most fans are knowledgeable and understand the game for the most part and it great to see all the different points of view on these threads.

 

[KnightofBoston]

I'd be pissed about any contact while I am inside the blue paint. My leg being pushed back forcing me to take a new position and try to reset, my stick being impeded. I would be pissed about the whole thing.

His stick wasn’t impeded though it was boomeranged out of his hand

 

[analyser]

I still liked it more when a goal was a goal without all this video review. Now a player has to constantly worry about touching the goalie and the problem is the league still does not follow the rules. It is the same with penalties, please try to follow some guidelines and be more consistent.

As soon as your team gets a goal you still have to know that their is a good chance it will be challenged and disallowed. Kills the flow of the game.

The problem is the review comes down to human interpretation and we all know how well that works.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

When Heinen comes through the crease and contacts Bobs skate, he also makes contact with the end of Bobs stick. After that, OELs the one who took it completely out of his hands.

 

[jgatie]

People, there are certain posters who like to be contrarian so that they can be the main focus of a thread which should be about celebrating the Bruins win. Please don't give them the oxygen they crave.

 

[JRull86]

By his own player. Broadcast was too stupid to point this out.

Honestly, that type of contact by Heinen is the stuff they need to let go across the league. Sure Heinen pushes the right pad back a bit, but Bob absolutely re-establishes himself and is square to the shooter and in a "ready" position as the shot is coming before OEL launches his stick.

This is right as McAvoy shoots it.

Heinen isn't touching Bob, OEL has slashed the stick out, and if that isn't established, then I don't know what is.

Looking at this it appears that Heinen's left skate was in the crease. I thought that was a no-no???

Heinen is totally out of the way it’s his defense that has his stick in his way it was a good call.

that rule was changed after DAL/BUF..... ANYONE then notice Frederic skated through the cage after the G was scored

 

[bruinsfan1968]

To me it looked like bob reset after contact and his focus right after goal was immediately on losing his stick which from his perspective he probably didn’t realize it wasn’t Heinen that sky hooked it out of his hand. Not focused on his skate, gesturing to ref about contact made on his skate by Heinen


Still a good move by Maurice the cooked blueberry to challenge tho because it was close and might have erased the goal worst case you kill an anemic bruins power play only down 1 up 3-1 in the series

It wasn't even close! Florida with their phony GI antics and the diving is disrespectful to the game and needs to be sent packing, this isn't European football or the NBA, real men don't dive in the NHL!

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Was ridiculous

Btw the obvious nightmare for this team is our D retrieving pucks on their backhand with any Panthers within 10 feet. HO-LY.

I'd love to do a montage of how many times that situation lead to a goal against or a high danger chance against. Seems like almost every time they do the odds of a clean clear are low.

And I get it, it's the hardest play those D make. But geez louise, we have to solve for it.

And put me in the camp that loved all the icing in the 3rd. LOVED IT. Ice away. Anything but a turnover.

Lohrei is the best with #73. On rims he start his big ass wind up 5-10 feet away and juices it.

Noticed Wotherspoon do it last night.

 

[sarge88]

Florida has had better scoring chances on the Bruins PP and has gotten momentum from them that’s the only problem,a power Play should at least provide the team on it momentum even if they don’t score.

PP’s are also extremely fickle….a terrible stretch can end in the blink of an eye with one good pass or shot.

The more the better, IMO.
