SCF GAME 5 - 8:00 PM - St. Louis (2) @ BRUINS (2) - NBC, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS

[Tryblot]

Kuraly jumped at the beginning of the game to hit Pietrangelo. Don't see Bruins fans saying anything about that one.

 

[Sol]

Expecting the Blues to come out better from here on out.

 

[CamMac]

Cassidy should bitch about the refs next game, worked out great for Berube.

 

[Nederlander]

Boston has been the far superior team.

And yet the scored is tied. Blues will make a push in the second period.

 

[Chips]

I don’t disagree that he hooked his pad, but there was no need to Mike Smith it.

I just think it’s a weak call is all. Guys have been pitchforking Rask all series.

All playoffs. Looked like a typical jab. From the replay sound it seemed before the whistle too? Often those jabs happen let go AFTER the whistle

 

[ryerockarola]

Technically the penalty called on Marchand was a slash. It was a jab a little spear likely called because the ref happened to be skating closer in already, the jab slash looked more 5 hole-nuttish and Binnington went back. And maybe because it was Marchand

True spears are usually more upward motion, mid section or right in the pills

 

[NDiesel]

Partly reputation and partly super obvious spear to the midsection

Guys literally skate in and poke the goalie with the toe of their stick every game....also known as a spear.

And usually much harder than Marchand did. That's a bullshit call if the player is wearing either colour.

 

[HockeyAddict]

That was partly a reputation call, a reputation that Marchand has for sure earned.

Marchand knew exactly what he had done... the second the whistle blows, he looks at the ref fully expecting a penalty.

 

[powerstuck]

blues have been called for goalie interference multiple times bruh

They've been called for it only two times, both times happened in game 2.

Given they've run Rask about 20 times over the course of 4.something games...that's not multiple times.

 

[Tryblot]

Listening to Bruins fans here it’s clear they never do anything wrong and the Blues every touch is 100% illegal.

It's embarrassing.

 

[winnington]

Lol at people who think simultaneously think that Marchand should be heralded for being such an effective "Pest" but shouldn't ever be called for it.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too. My god.

You make a career off of breaking small rules, you should get called for it sometimes.

Guess what? No one but you wants to watch "NHL, for little bitches".

 

[The National]

Good clip for Blues. How to throw a good hit without getting head. Not really that difficult.

Well TKs stick did smack him in the head on the way down.

Surprised officials missed that blatant slashing call.

 

[Joshuar56]

Where exactly do you think the groin is?

If you have to ask...

Usually in the pad. That’s different.

There is a difference between poking at the glove and poking at the goalies gut.

 

[mel]

Enjoyed watching that snippet about the Kraut Line.

 

[CamFan81]

Whos in charge of the blues PP ? It makes the habs PP look amazing...

Makes who's PP look amazing???

 

[ZJuice]

The boos from the crowd after seeing Marchand’s penalty replay tells me that the beer is flowing well in Boston!
Go beer!!

 

[Chardo]

This is the most embarrassing display of officiating I have ever seen

Seriously? You new to the game?

 

[NDiesel]

Usually in the pad. That’s different.

Actually it's the glove usually and how is it different? They are padded more heavily on their chest pads than their gloves.

 

[ZJuice]

Makes who's PP look amazing???

News article told me Boston beat the Blues with their big PP last week. Not joking either

 

[bluesfan94]

Enjoyed watching that snippet about the Kraut Line.

Milt Schmidt is one of those guys who would
be considered much higher in the pantheon if he hadn’t missed some hockey

 

[Mighty Makar]

Tarasov!

 

[Jussi]

I see Coach's Corner is once again all about Cherry and Bobby Orr...

As it should be.
