If it happened to a Bruin, first look I’d want the 5……if it was given a double minor, I wouldn’t be happy, but I could live with it.

man Pasta REALLY doesn't like Lindgren
A major penalty felt like overkill to me. Call 2 for boarding i guess. It just wasn’t bad at all

I was fine with the 5 minutes, why kick him out. We’ve all seen worse hits from behind that get 2 for boarding.

If that had been Marchy called for the boarding, he would have been taken out in handcuffs.
If it had been Marchy being boarded, the penalty would have been 2 minutes.
I want an investigation. I want those refs suspended.
I had no problem with the 5 minutes. The game misconduct has to be looked into. Something fishy going on there.

Doesn’t the game misconduct go along with the major?
I wonder where that started from. I can't for the life of me remember or think of anything in particular
It's a bad hit, may have cost them the extra point.... but I like that he has that in him. Pastrnak's eyes went green and he clearly wanted to light Lindgren up. A+ for intention. F for execution. I wish there was more of that in the bottom half of the roster.
It's always McAvoy, Marchand, or Pastrnak. That's your top-3 skaters right there.... Don't see enough of that hard hitting intention from the guys who struggling to stay in the lineup. Very strange. It's seemingly right there for the taking if anyone wants top show an ounce of physical aggression.

Yeah I’m a playoff kind of guy this season they could have gone 82-0:
and I would be that’s nice .
That's a good question. If that's the case, I'll go with a double minor. The game misconduct is the main issue and it stinks like shite.
PO's are a different animal, but, imho, that regular season stat is still amazing. I don't think 'nice' does it any justice. But again, that's you.

Yes the refs were bad- putrid- blind
BUT
once Pasta got tossed it was only a matter of time, the Bs had zero offensive threats. Getting a point was about as good as one could have hoped.
to LadyFans earlier point.- time for some changes to be made ...too many players not showing up ( Jake mentioned by many) or lacking any defining skill set (Brown who is a fifth liner ) or who are a step too slow ( JVR, Shatthenkirk) or too easily knocked off the puck (Grizz). And please can someone sharpen Matty P's skates - the kid must have fallen down 3 times in addition to being knocked off his skates 3-4 times
the Rangers were not that impressive and a heavier team or a team with better shooters would have taken the W

It's a rebuilding year. Most of me does not expect more than "fine". I miss the old special Bruin tenacity though.

I thought the Rags were impressive and they are balanced enough to go deep in the PO's. OTOH, the BRUINS are not as balanced and rely way too much on stellar goaltending.
Based on the salary cap, I don't expect any major change of players on the BRUINS.
Hopefully, the younger guys will continue to improve as the season skates on.
If only Marchy had lifted the puck on that breakaway. I'm guessing he still has nightmares about that.

I think you underrate the Rangers more than a bit, but all fair points. Shattenkirk has actually been one of their better d to my eyes during this stretch. Lindholm is the one who is playing below expectations...
Thing is. The hits are there to take. And lots of players shy away from it. Which okay fine, not every player plays that game. But your defenceman? They gotta hit. They have to hunt out there. Shit. I've seen more hits from Torey Krug at his small stature than Carlo or Lindholm, etc.
I think it needs to be a requirement for our d-men. McAvoy can't be the only one.

Do not forget about Florida. They are in the top two or three for sure.
