BRUINS GDT GAME 34 7:08 PM - THE BEAR greets the 'Jersey Boys' - NESN, NESN 4K, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Aussie Bruin]

Oh, so close Jonny B.

 

[mar2kbos]

Is it me or it seems this game is playing at a really fast pace

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Lohrei is going to be really good.

 

[Absurdity]

Good shift

 

[GordonHowe]

Good pressure.

 

[OV]

Crappy time to take a penalty

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Bruins with all that zone time draw no calls and then they call a dive.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Damn, all that momentum, no result, and now killed by giving away a soft penalty. Shame.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Another stupid penalty

 

[SPLBRUIN]

These refs are awful, the NHL product is getting more and more difficult for me to stomach.

 

[YukonCornelius]

Another stupid penalty

Another stupid call honestly.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Yeah, that’s just a bad call. Typical NHLOL.

 

[Bruin4]

Lovely.

Merkulov is 42 yes?

 

[Orr Fourever]

Good period.

 

[smithformeragent]

Meh.

 

[Bridges31]

Thought the Bruins were the better team that period. They just need to stay out of the box.

 

[badbrewin]

Not a bad period. Keep it up and good things will happen.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

These refs are awful, the NHL product is getting more and more difficult for me to stomach.

They are allowing all these soft players to dive all over the ice to win with power plays,

The products sucks.

Facts are the Bruins stay on their feet and it hurts them

 

[NeelyOrr]

He's 42? He looks younger.

 

[GordonHowe]

Is it me or it seems this game is playing at a really fast pace

Fairly fast.

These refs are awful, the NHL product is getting more and more difficult for me to stomach.

Please don't call it product. That's KPD talk. I agree though, officiating in the NHL whether for us or against us or for someone else or against someone else, has really become a problem. It's always been an issue I get that. But this is this is something else. And it's been this way for about 10 to 15 years.

My default position is that referees are human beings they're doing the best they can especially in exceptionally fast game these days. But they miss egregious stuff, and they call tiki tax stuff all the time. And I mean seriously ticky tack stuff. Like one guy breathes on another and it's a f****** penalty. It's really too bad. And frankly really pisses me off.

Speech to text,

 

[GoBs]

Jack Hughes tries to jump over a stick but doesn’t jump high enough and that’s a penalty?

 

[NeelyOrr]

Bruins with all that zone time draw no calls and then they call a dive.

The more distressing thing; all that zone time and no goal.

 

[Ladyfan]

Some Happy New Years for the Bs and the guys who work for the team.

Leaving for Detroit tonight and then after tomorrow's game right to Columbus.

The Bs will get two in the second

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Bruins had some good shifts and good opportunities, just no finish. Devils look pretty content to sit back a bit and play on the counter. They'll happily do that for as long as they can and look to sneak a 2nd goal against the flow or on the PP. Boston needs to force a change by getting on the scoreboard.

 

[Bocephus86]

Anyone else watching via NESN 360? It keeps randomly repeating certain things, this has happened before but today its terrible. During the last NJ powerplay it repeated the ~10 seconds coming back from commercial a couple times, then the first face off a few times, then all of a sudden I missed the first 42 seconds of the powerplay. Its doing it even more/worse during this first commercial break. Just want to see if it's unique to me or if rebooting my modem is worth it.
