dumbass time to make a penalty-standing up for your guy or not

What the **** did he do that was penalty-worthy anyway? Ask if he wants to fight? That's enough for the refs to blow the play dead on a decent scoring chance for the Bruins and then call a penalty.

Them's the breaks. Against the Ducks, Tuukka had the puck loose like that and kicked it in because of pressure. Then we had a clear offside-goal go against us that we couldn't challenge. Will never bet on the Bruins in a challenge situation.

Remember the Bergeron goaltender interference challenge on Price. He gave Price windburn so they called it off. It seems like when it's offside there is always clear evidence the Bruins back skate is up but other teams it's inconclusive. We have definitely got a raw deal and the consistency on NHL again is brutal. Challenges have been a horrible addition. I'd rather the league review every goal like the NFL or none. You just don't know where they stand and then when it's obviously not a goal like the Anaheim offside you can't challenged

It's under the goalie's pad. And he pushed the pad in.

It's terribly obvious people. Like I said, I hate the fact that they don't make the call consistently and let the goal go. But...the homerism is a little ridiculous. By rule, you can't start interfering with the goalie's movement in any way just because the puck hasn't been yet ruled frozen. It's under his pad. I understand he doesn't have control in the sense that he's not covering it, but there is obvious reasoning behind the call even if you don't agree with it.

He's moving the pad as he's shooting the puck with strength, not bearing down and driving the pad without a shooting motion which is why they created the rule. The reason the rule exists is for situations slightly different than this.

His pad was off the ice. It literally couldn't have been under it.

When does Bruins GM ever speak out about the calls against Bruins and back up his club? NEVER is when.

Because refs who have too much pride to change their ****** calls when they go against Boston are going to take that criticism and turn generous towards the Bruins? :laugh:
Don't know if we need to start selling calls. I hate it, and it would probably backfire, but blatant calls are obviously invisible to the officials more often than not.
