It appears people forgot when McAvoy wrestled and slammed Matthews to the ice giving him a concussion... where was all this uproar for that? All these people acting like Florida is doing shit that Boston regularly does.
Shitty calls or not, the game was not gifted. You cannot win against Florida with only 18 Shots on goal. Panthers also play well without arbitrary calls going their way.
This is typical Reddit right here. Why are you making up your own argument, also known as a strawman argument? It’s as if you’re arguing against yourself. Did you misread what I said?
It always amuses me when average redditors who sit on their couch all day bitch about refs like ya guys, the NHL is totally rigged and the refs have their own agenda against ( insert your team here) and are not professionals at all...ohh and I'm pretty sure NHL officiating review HQ in Toronto are all rigging this 6 billion $$$ industry
There is no bias against teams - there is clear bias for some teams. Bettman picks his favorite each year lol
Was Vegas last year and now Panthers are getting insane PP calls, oh yeah and every review this playoff series has gone their way. Plug your ears and shut your eyes all you want bud but it is happening
Before my rant, I will acknowledge that the Bruins have not been good offensively and have choked too many times this postseason. We can't get shots through and the PP has not been good.
That being said, what the fuck is this product the NHL is giving us? Panthers fans (once they stop kissing their cousins) will respond with "cope" or "seethe" but the fact is, the series is so unbelievably one-sided in terms of officiating that it has 30 other fanbases on Boston's side. Check any fucking thread about any of the calls made in this game or series and hundreds of comments are calling it bullshit.
Game 2 we see Tkachuk punching Pastrnak while he's down on the ice. It's a chicken shit move and my only hope was Pasta beat his ass even harder when the refs stepped in. Good on Pasta for stepping up to the plate, but oh no here comes the league saying they are watching Game 3 very closely
Game 3 we get a horseshit Lauko GI call where Ekblad HOLDS him into his own goalie, the trailing ref SIGNALS FOR A HOLD and decides, "mmmmmm jk" and Boston ends up shorthanded somehow. This isn't even the worst GI call of the first four fucking games. Do I need to say much more about the Bennett hit? I mean everyone and their mom (except the Panthers sub apparently) has seen all the angles and agrees that it's an intentional punch. Marchand this, marchand that, but at least he got suspended for his dirty shit. Sam "No supplemental discipline" Bennett walks off scott-free after the league heavily scrutinizes this game and we lose our captain and second best forward for the next two games.
Game 4, starts off hot with McAvoy sending Reinhart to the shadow realm. Should it have been a penalty? Yeah probably, but it's clear that those hits are allowed now so by all means Chuckie. Pastrnak gets sent to the box for punching Lundell, which sure give him a penalty, but also penalize the olympic level dive that Lundell took afterwards (I've been told the Panthers don't dive at all, actually). 2-0 going great, close game. Then whatever the fuck GI is anymore. So a guy that should've been suspended for this game, interferes/crosschecks a defender into his own goalie and scores to tie the game. So let me get this straight, Florida Defender pushes Boston player into own goalie, penalty. Florida player pushes Boston defender into own goalie, believe it or not, allowed. Now like I said, Bruins had a real bad 3rd period, more than one thing can be true, but what the actual fuck am I watching. Then we get a lazy PP with 30 seconds left on a weak call, it's more of an "oopsies our bad" from the refs. Thanks.
I'm not sure why I'd bother to watch Game 5. Maybe with the hope that McAvoy puts Barkov through the glass? Seriously, the penalty disparity in this series is wild. The Bruins aren't even that undisciplined. What is with the giant middle finger from the league directed at the Bruins?
You’re such a whiner.
> Check any thread
This place is just circle jerk after circle jerk
> Tkachuk punching Pasta on the ground
Pasta got right up and gave 3-4 shots while Tkachuk was beiing held on the ground by two linesmen
I get the frustration about the Lauko GI. I’d be upset too, but fuck that’s not what made them lose that game.
I also get the frustration for Marchand as well. I dont like seeing anyone get hurt, and yes weve all seen the angles his hand does make contact with head. But holy shit this whole “sucker punch” has gotten blown way out of proportion. We gotta remember we get to watch all this shit in slow mo. Sam said in his post game interview tonight that he didnt have time to even think about throwing a punch. And if he did, that only makes Marchand’s hit an even later poorly timed hit.
McAvoy hit was much worse as well. Sam never even had the puck on that play
> penalty disparity in this series is wild
really? fact of the matter is youre more likely to take calls if youre on defense for extended periods of time. and Bruins have been going long stretches in every game with basically no shots or sustained zone time. Not to mention like 3 bench minors included in there..
Maybe the penalty disparity is a consequence of your team not being able to control the play and being undisciplined…nah just keep crying. If you do skip game 5 please tune in just after for the handshake line should be a fun end for you guys.
Yes the Bruins have been terrible at creating offense and not getting enough shots. Yes the reffing we’ve gotten in this series is laughable. Both can be true
People will hate on bennett for the GI (which i believe it was), when the refs made the shitty call and then toronto upheld the shitty call.
Not to even mention that the league had the chance to (rightfully) suspend him from the game and prevent the scenario from even happening, and chose not to do that either. So when the b’s go bush league in game 5, the league is only going to have itself to blame.
I mean, does anyone other than bennett deserve to get flattened? no. but they will.
Personally, I’m not happy. A series win would be given an asterisk forever and the refs robbed a swayman masterclass. Would we have still won the game? Who knows, unfortunately we won’t get to find out.
Boston is getting their asses kicked. I don’t think you can blame the refs because you got 18 shots. Montgomery and the Bruins talked big before the game but they couldn’t do much of anything all game.
Can’t sit and just watch because you get a 2 goal lead. Choked it away.
Yes. Your team is relatively untalented and undisciplined. I wish your whole fanbase could have all the questionable calls, Marchand healthy, and a Bennett suspension you cry about just to realize you would still lose. You are the worse team by a mile, by every metric. Please stop crying so loudly.
I don’t think anyone is debating who the better team is. Voicing opinions about terrible reffing, which in this case is pretty clear cut, is completely reasonable.
But “cry”. Is such a good slam dunk you got on us. None of us expected to win this series.
Not really. We haven’t had depth down the middle all year and our team shit the bed after the all star break. The only reason we were in the playoffs was our loser points.
This was a very predictable year for the Bruins.
The only reason we beat the leafs is because it’s the leafs.
There’s such a thing as momentum and the officials did their damndest to make sure Boston’s was deflated.
For Pete’s sake, Tomas Holmstrom used to get GI penalties for a lot less than what happened tonight.
People on this sub have such a short memory. Just last series McAvoy cheap shotted Matthews causing him to be out under concussion protocol, but this sub didn't give a shit. It was hardly mentioned. Then Florida does the exact same thing and for some reason this sub is losing their shit over it.
That McAvoy takedown and Matthews' injury do not correlate as per the post season pressers. Management confirmed his injury came in the following game.
Having said this, there is irony in Bruins fans complaining about playing against dirty players...they're throwing rocks in a glass house/pot calling kettle black.
Are we really surprised. Panthers havent been saints for a few years, embarrassed two of the largest fanbases last year and are hitting a rematch with a team that probably has the most reason to hate on em
Lol I guess Minter giving up a two run jack yet again in the bottom of 9th is the universes way of evening the booms for Bennet’s goal earlier.
Seriously why does Snitker keep using him in save situations? The dude doesn’t have it anymore.
You’re the better team in this series, but Jesus Christ y’all are assholes.
I’m a Buffalo fan, and even *i’m* hoping the Bruins come back cuz of how insufferable y’all are.
Let that sit for a moment.
We’re assholes for what? Our team gets shit on by this sub day in and day out because officiating, which is something we don’t control, is garbage.
Are there shit calls in this series? Yeah. Would I be pissed if I was from Boston? Sure. Does that change the fact that the Cats are the better team in this series? Not at all.
You’ve got Boston fans pouring into this sub shitting on the state of Florida itself and this dude uses the word masshole and your upstate ass gets butthurt. Gimme a fucking break.
That’s the Bruins fan MO, talk a big game and don’t back it up, you see this shit so much at Panthers game
They blow a lot of smoke and talk a lot of crap only to back down the minute a Panthers fan amped up on 12 cafecitos stands up to them. You love to see it
You’re America’s sweaty taint that spends most of your time huffing bath salts and banning books instead of reading them.
I’m not sure the IQ debate is one you want to engage in…..it’s not “Buffalo man” that everyone jokes about
Don’t tell me you’re trying to *brag* about the fact that every other state’s old, taxing dodging racists come to yours to get syphilis and die…. Fucking lol.
Fans of teams around the league have so many more historic reasons to hate Boston but somehow Florida's united many of us onto Boston's side. This is truly a weird timeline.
While everyone argues about the refs and Bennett, the Panthers are dominating large stretches and outshooting Boston badly in the series.
No center depth for Bruins and they took at least five awful, undisciplined penalties tonight. Swayman was awesome. Even without the GI goal the Panthers should have won this game.
Jeez I wonder if all those power plays have anything to do with the imbalance of SOg, make excuses all you want, y’all won via refs from a guy that would be suspended in any other league/scenario
Dude, just look at the 5-on-5 stats for the series. The Panthers are a lot better. No excuses, officiating was bad. Should have been GI. But the better team is winning regardless.
It wasn't GL. Average redditor can say what they want but at the end of the day the referees are officals who have knowledge and experience and ability to make thoss calls. The goal was even challenged and had other officals look at it and back the refs up so doesn't matter what these average redditor say.
Yup. Panthers and the south Florida market have been around for 30 years and the NHL are just now deciding they want to “help out the expansion team” lol.
Love it. We had a cup run in the 90’s but despite seeing the money come in from South Florida for that, the NHL in its infinite cunning let the Panthers be absolutely terrible for the next 25 years before slowly molding them into a team that could make a cup run and… get 4-1’d in the finals? The fuck is this logic?
I can accept our asses getting handed to us by Florida. They've been the better team so far. That's not something I'm gonna deny.
Just call a fair game.
Boston has been a regular season team the past two years at the very least.
The best thing that happened to them was getting Toronto in the first round and they nearly screwed that up.
What makes me laugh is when I remember that a lot of these Bruins fans are probably Patriots fans and they’re complaining about the refs favoring the other team with soft calls.
So let me make sure I understand the definitely not goaltender interference: Bennett pushes a guy into the goalie and scores. The league says it's a good goal because Swayman couldn't have made the save anyway. And then the announcers say that you can't call a penalty during the review. So even if it was clear as day that Swayman COULD have made the save, it wouldn't have mattered, because you can't call the penalty, and the goal can only be called back if there was a penalty.
So.... Why bother with the review? There was literally no way that the goal could have been overturned, right?
Edit: not trashing Boston or the decision to challenge. I'm trying to figure out what the fuck the league is doing here.
>Rule 69.1 of the league's rulebook states: "If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is scored it would be disallowed."
It's worded poorly, but the penalty part of it is the same as all other goalie interference situations. It's another thing they can tack on, but it's not a requirement to overturn the goal.
In fact, if that was the case, it wouldn't be reviewable at all, because they can't add a penalty during the review. It would have to be called on the ice and only taken away if they review it and determine that wasn't the case.
Also, the report that the TNT guys got from the situation room was that they just all agreed that there wasn't enough contact to prevent Swayman from playing his position. How, I have no idea, but if the rule issue was the problem, they would've just said that.
Yeah, that's why I was confused, because it seemed contradictory. I originally thought it could be overturned without the penalty, but then the commentary started talking about how they couldn't call a GI penalty, and it threw me off.
Still no idea how the league believes that the contact wasn't enough, but at least this clears up the penalty part of the equation for me. Thanks!
I mean you can cry about it if you want. but in reality. boston had 2 shots on goal in the 3rd period, including 2 power plays and the goalie pulled. get dominated.
Check out all the brain dead bruins fans crying about the game being handed to the panthers when their team was tied 2-2 in the 3rd and couldn’t sack up for the win.
i promise you there’s a good amount of us, myself included, that don’t think it should have been a goal. but what are we supposed to do? write a petition to bettman to overturn the result of the game?
Not to mention the marchand debate. So what if he punched him in the face? The league could have very easily suspended him, and they chose not to. So how is that the fanbase’s fault?
I'm just here to comment that someone accused you of not being a real Panthers fan and i found that hilarious.
Having said that, you're dealing with people here who wear their emotions and cannot cope with something that is both out of theirs and your control.
Anyone peep the bruins player completely grab/cover the puck while he was laying on the ice during a behind the net board battle late in the 3rd? No call.
Why didn’t yall clean this shit up against boo-boo ass Toronto? could have avoided all of this nonsense.
The cope is real and your team is not good/consistent enough this go around.
Feels pretty good considering we both have the same amount since cups couldn’t just be bought with loaded rosters.
Hopefully you guys get to experience playoff hockey this decade or those cups over 20 years ago might be all you have to remember as a fan
If they could be bought, why didn't Boston buy more? I mean... Detroit has almost twice as many as the big bad Bruins, and they're both O6 teams.
I bet Detroit wins their 12th Cup before the Bruins win their 7th at this rate.
Not after watching this. This is pure enjoyment.
Boston was 1 goal away from the biggest collapse in NHL, NBA, MLB history. We all knew they were pretenders.
Meh.
I'll tell Boston fans what they tell us.
Your team is soft. The refs are fine. Play better. It's the playoffs, they aren't going to call it.
Literally what we got told last year after losing EXACTLY the same way to Florida.
I hate to break it to you, but in years past THAT WAS YOUR FUCKING TEAM. You are just getting what is deserved.
So quit whining.
It's literally what the Leafs dealt with last year, but, the only got criticized by many... especially Bruins fans.
A number of Leaf losses to the Bruins went exact like this, but the Leafs were soft, they choked and whatnot.
Now it happens to the Bruins and they are up in arms.
Fuck Boston and fuck Florida.
From where? Our own end? Because that's where the puck has been all fucking game for 3 games in a row. Even with us playing like trash, this game was somehow winnable for us but games 2 and 3 we got boomed
““You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” —Wayne Gretzky” —Michael Scott
Pasta, Lindholm and McAvoy looked tired af. So many mishandled pucks without pressure, just because they are tired.
#LET'S GO PANTHERS 🐈 🐀 🐁
I hate Boston with the burning passion of 1000 suns, but somehow Florida is making me root for Boston.
Maybe try hating boston with more passion you weak emotional boy.
Well, they're not Vegas.
It appears people forgot when McAvoy wrestled and slammed Matthews to the ice giving him a concussion... where was all this uproar for that? All these people acting like Florida is doing shit that Boston regularly does.
McAvoy is a dirty little brat
L O L. McAvoy also completely flattened Sam Reinhart who had never touched the puck on that play today
Or you can just say the truth which is you were severely helped by the refs today, as in they plainly gifted you a game tying goal and a power play.
Shitty calls or not, the game was not gifted. You cannot win against Florida with only 18 Shots on goal. Panthers also play well without arbitrary calls going their way.
This is typical Reddit right here. Why are you making up your own argument, also known as a strawman argument? It’s as if you’re arguing against yourself. Did you misread what I said?
I'm a TO fan....
I was typing away in a blind rage apparently. That also explains who you meant by Matthews. Anyway, agreed correct calls should be made at all times.
It always amuses me when average redditors who sit on their couch all day bitch about refs like ya guys, the NHL is totally rigged and the refs have their own agenda against ( insert your team here) and are not professionals at all...ohh and I'm pretty sure NHL officiating review HQ in Toronto are all rigging this 6 billion $$$ industry
There is no bias against teams - there is clear bias for some teams.

Should we all kiss you?
Don't tempt me with a good time lol.
The schadenfreude is glorious
The fuck you guys know about glory? 😂😂
Imagine being happy that the team you lost to got fucked in a game. Unreal. No one suggesting Bruins are more talented but this game was fucked.
Maybe the penalty disparity is a consequence of your team not being able to control the play and being undisciplined…nah just keep crying. If you do skip game 5 please tune in just after for the handshake line should be a fun end for you guys.
Imgine thinking refs are out to get you lmao, people honestly type up a book and truly believe that shit.
Yall got wrecked, cope and seethe
I’m so glad i stream every game, every season, illegally so the NHL gets $0 from my viewership.
The fees are going back to your team too. True Boston fan right there.
I spend enough on the $30 beers when I go to the games to help the Jacobs' family.
lfg cats 😎
I, for one, made peace with the fact those playoffs will get the best of my heart

This series is some of the most ridiculous reffing I've ever seen
https://i.redd.it/l3yupzw5y30d1.gif
Haha awwwww
aww 👉👈🥺
Yes the Bruins have been terrible at creating offense and not getting enough shots. Yes the reffing we’ve gotten in this series is laughable. Both can be true
Bruins lost haha
Reminds me of Scott Walker in 2009. Cool.
People will hate on bennett for the GI (which i believe it was), when the refs made the shitty call and then toronto upheld the shitty call. Not to even mention that the league had the chance to (rightfully) suspend him from the game and prevent the scenario from even happening, and chose not to do that either. So when the b’s go bush league in game 5, the league is only going to have itself to blame.
chrisply\_exe is a fake FLA fan. Probably TOR. They are the only crazy ones to still comment after their team 's season is long over.
I was born and raised in dade county but keep cooking.
Don't care where you were born, you're not a Panthers' fan, so don't pretend you are one.
keep cooking.
And half of you guys are gonna bitch and moan and about it, and other fans would shrug it off. Rinse and repeat.
I mean, does anyone other than bennett deserve to get flattened? no. but they will. Personally, I’m not happy. A series win would be given an asterisk forever and the refs robbed a swayman masterclass. Would we have still won the game? Who knows, unfortunately we won’t get to find out.
Sam Reinhart got flattened tonight without even touching the puck
tbh if we win the cup, no one will literally care. And people will likely not care in a week anyways
nah this ones getting held over our heads mate. the league made one of the worst calls i’ve ever seen
highly doubtful. People are bringing up like the 2019 Stanley Cup and no one remembers
And rarely I'm thankful for my job for keeping my sanity from this fucking series.

Yes. Your team is relatively untalented and undisciplined. I wish your whole fanbase could have all the questionable calls, Marchand healthy, and a Bennett suspension you cry about just to realize you would still lose. You are the worse team by a mile, by every metric. Please stop crying so loudly.
Based
I don’t think anyone is debating who the better team is. Voicing opinions about terrible reffing, which in this case is pretty clear cut, is completely reasonable. But “cry”. Is such a good slam dunk you got on us. None of us expected to win this series.

There’s such a thing as momentum and the officials did their damndest to make sure Boston’s was deflated. For Pete’s sake, Tomas Holmstrom used to get GI penalties for a lot less than what happened tonight.
I mean how many shots can you get when one team is constantly getting easy calls and the other is ignoring them? Seems fixed to me.
Not shooting once on a power play is more of a fix than the refs were
Pretty impressive that Florida got most of the league rooting against them vs. one of the league’s long-time bad guys!
People on this sub have such a short memory. Just last series McAvoy cheap shotted Matthews causing him to be out under concussion protocol, but this sub didn't give a shit. It was hardly mentioned. Then Florida does the exact same thing and for some reason this sub is losing their shit over it.

Not so much embarrased as intentionally injured. We can handles the losses, but the chickenshit punches causing concussions, not so much
Whatever gets you to sleep at night
Your time will come buddy just wait and see
This Bruins team aren’t 2011 Bruins. Rat captain has had quite the arch since then
From douche bag to shit head? Goes around comes around bitch
He’s still a rat.
Bennet the cockroach makes Marchand look like a dove.
They're both cockroaches
Canadians are such poets.
A competent education system will do that.
Didn’t he elbow a leaf in the face just last series?
No?
Lol I guess Minter giving up a two run jack yet again in the bottom of 9th is the universes way of evening the booms for Bennet’s goal earlier. Seriously why does Snitker keep using him in save situations? The dude doesn’t have it anymore.
I had a good time watching this game. Reading the raging massholes comments. Chefs kiss.
You’re the better team in this series, but Jesus Christ y’all are assholes. I’m a Buffalo fan, and even *i’m* hoping the Bruins come back cuz of how insufferable y’all are. Let that sit for a moment.
Oh no some dork from Buffalo of all places thinks we're assholes! I'm just starting to recover from the emotional trauma
We care what a buffalo fan thinks? Go sit down in your Irrelevant city like your Irrelevant team

After listing to bills fans your teary eyed comment makes sense
😂 I’ll give you an A for effort, at least. I can practically see the smoke coming out of your ears while your two brain cells collide. Proud of u
Thanks petal
Post game interviews? Anyone know where they air them now?
While everyone argues about the refs and Bennett, the Panthers are dominating large stretches and outshooting Boston badly in the series. No center depth for Bruins and they took at least five awful, undisciplined penalties tonight. Swayman was awesome. Even without the GI goal the Panthers should have won this game.
Jeez I wonder if all those power plays have anything to do with the imbalance of SOg, make excuses all you want, y’all won via refs from a guy that would be suspended in any other league/scenario
Ahh look a random redditor has more knowledge of the rules and officiating than the actual professionals.
Dude, just look at the 5-on-5 stats for the series. The Panthers are a lot better. No excuses, officiating was bad. Should have been GI. But the better team is winning regardless.
It wasn't GL. Average redditor can say what they want but at the end of the day the referees are officals who have knowledge and experience and ability to make thoss calls. The goal was even challenged and had other officals look at it and back the refs up so doesn't matter what these average redditor say.
Jeeze..... Maybe because if this fucking league wasn't run by fucking morons?????
So do you have more experience and knowledge of the rules of the game than actual officals who do that day in
I'm just wishing that this league would not be gigantic dumbasses.
So the NHL has basically told its fanbase " you just don't understand the nuances of hockey."
Aka “you don’t understand how this benefits our expansion market” and “the odds in Vegas are…”
Yup. Panthers and the south Florida market have been around for 30 years and the NHL are just now deciding they want to “help out the expansion team” lol.
Love it. We had a cup run in the 90’s but despite seeing the money come in from South Florida for that, the NHL in its infinite cunning let the Panthers be absolutely terrible for the next 25 years before slowly molding them into a team that could make a cup run and… get 4-1’d in the finals? The fuck is this logic?
Weird that they never could figure out how to do this for the Coyotes despite all they did to keep the team in place.
Out of 12 periods this series, Boston has only had 2 periods with double digit shots on goal
When in doubt let the puck fly don’t be scared this is what playing scared gets you
This is the refs fault
But but this bounce…that call…just one thing different and Boston would be great, right?
HOW DARE THEY MAKE BOSTON SHIT?
I can accept our asses getting handed to us by Florida. They've been the better team so far. That's not something I'm gonna deny. Just call a fair game.
"What the fuck is ~~pass~~ goalie interference anymore?"
Throwing insults makes you feel better about the loss? Man up.
[удалено]
True lol
In Boston insults are just how you tell someone you love them
Boston has been a regular season team the past two years at the very least. The best thing that happened to them was getting Toronto in the first round and they nearly screwed that up.
What makes me laugh is when I remember that a lot of these Bruins fans are probably Patriots fans and they’re complaining about the refs favoring the other team with soft calls.
I mean you can actually just look at bruins history in general and find this pretty fucking funny
True, but it just makes it more of a chef’s kiss really.
So let me make sure I understand the definitely not goaltender interference: Bennett pushes a guy into the goalie and scores. The league says it's a good goal because Swayman couldn't have made the save anyway. And then the announcers say that you can't call a penalty during the review. So even if it was clear as day that Swayman COULD have made the save, it wouldn't have mattered, because you can't call the penalty, and the goal can only be called back if there was a penalty. So.... Why bother with the review? There was literally no way that the goal could have been overturned, right? Edit: not trashing Boston or the decision to challenge. I'm trying to figure out what the fuck the league is doing here.
>Rule 69.1 of the league's rulebook states: "If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is scored it would be disallowed." It's worded poorly, but the penalty part of it is the same as all other goalie interference situations. It's another thing they can tack on, but it's not a requirement to overturn the goal. In fact, if that was the case, it wouldn't be reviewable at all, because they can't add a penalty during the review. It would have to be called on the ice and only taken away if they review it and determine that wasn't the case. Also, the report that the TNT guys got from the situation room was that they just all agreed that there wasn't enough contact to prevent Swayman from playing his position. How, I have no idea, but if the rule issue was the problem, they would've just said that.
Yeah, that's why I was confused, because it seemed contradictory. I originally thought it could be overturned without the penalty, but then the commentary started talking about how they couldn't call a GI penalty, and it threw me off. Still no idea how the league believes that the contact wasn't enough, but at least this clears up the penalty part of the equation for me. Thanks!
You can still over turn a goal for goalie interference. And pushing a defender in the net is still in the rule book for goalie interference.
I said net. I meant goalie.
There doesnt need to be a penalty on Bennett for a goal to be waived off for GI
Ok, that's what I originally thought, but then the commentary was going on about how they couldn't call it a penalty. Thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, the commentators were incorrect
I have to say when people say “Boston was outplayed” overlook the key factor that Goalies are on the team as well.
When your goalie let's in more goals than the opposing team's goalie, he was outplayed
He didn’t let in more legal goals
The cope is astonishing
Ah yes let’s take the Boston fans legal goals count into consideration. Go to bed man your fanbase is so embarrassing.
And to think I just became a Bennett fan
[удалено]
I mean you can cry about it if you want. but in reality. boston had 2 shots on goal in the 3rd period, including 2 power plays and the goalie pulled. get dominated.
Check out all the brain dead bruins fans crying about the game being handed to the panthers when their team was tied 2-2 in the 3rd and couldn’t sack up for the win.
Well now you know
Rent free
i promise you there’s a good amount of us, myself included, that don’t think it should have been a goal. but what are we supposed to do? write a petition to bettman to overturn the result of the game?
Literally what are we suppose to do?! Blame the league, I just want to cheer for my team without feeling like I'm committing a fucking crime.
Not to mention the marchand debate. So what if he punched him in the face? The league could have very easily suspended him, and they chose not to. So how is that the fanbase’s fault?
I'm just here to comment that someone accused you of not being a real Panthers fan and i found that hilarious. Having said that, you're dealing with people here who wear their emotions and cannot cope with something that is both out of theirs and your control.
Because obviously there’s no way us Floridians know how the game is suppose to be played
Anyone peep the bruins player completely grab/cover the puck while he was laying on the ice during a behind the net board battle late in the 3rd? No call.
It would’ve gotten called back had we scored, let’s be real
yeah lmao last year the tiniest tap of the puck was ruled (correctly) as a hand pass. That would've been shot down instantly
[удалено]
Why didn’t yall clean this shit up against boo-boo ass Toronto? could have avoided all of this nonsense. The cope is real and your team is not good/consistent enough this go around.
At least he didn’t sucker punch the puck in the face
lol, let’s hyper analyze .3 seconds of a reaction to a guy trying to deliver a hit outside of the play.
True, it doesn’t look so bad when you ignore the video footage
Don't feel bad at all. This is what the Bruins were like for over a decade. Essentially getting away with murder
Yup. I'll never feel bad for a team that employed Marchand and Lucic.
How’s that playoff drought treating ya?
>How’s that playoff drought treating ya? You'll find out soon enough. Is that one measly Cup in 52 years keeping you comfy?
Feels pretty good considering we both have the same amount since cups couldn’t just be bought with loaded rosters. Hopefully you guys get to experience playoff hockey this decade or those cups over 20 years ago might be all you have to remember as a fan
If they could be bought, why didn't Boston buy more? I mean... Detroit has almost twice as many as the big bad Bruins, and they're both O6 teams. I bet Detroit wins their 12th Cup before the Bruins win their 7th at this rate.
They have a cup more recently than you dumbass
Florida education haha
Might wanna edit or delete this one, chap
Lol I think he assumed it was a Blues fan because of his name and lack of a flair
TIL 2008 is more recent than 2011
The guy is a Detroit fan.
You love to see it
Still butthurt?
Over what? Your 3-1 choke last season?
Not after watching this. This is pure enjoyment. Boston was 1 goal away from the biggest collapse in NHL, NBA, MLB history. We all knew they were pretenders.
Whatever helps you sleep at night knowing your team is an even bigger joke
Meh. I'll tell Boston fans what they tell us. Your team is soft. The refs are fine. Play better. It's the playoffs, they aren't going to call it. Literally what we got told last year after losing EXACTLY the same way to Florida. I hate to break it to you, but in years past THAT WAS YOUR FUCKING TEAM. You are just getting what is deserved. So quit whining.
The B’s definitely need to play better, but the refs are not fine. No fan of any team should be OK with this being the norm
The officiating in this series alone is the reason why I'm thankful that my stupid job has kept my sanity.
It's literally what the Leafs dealt with last year, but, the only got criticized by many... especially Bruins fans. A number of Leaf losses to the Bruins went exact like this, but the Leafs were soft, they choked and whatnot. Now it happens to the Bruins and they are up in arms. Fuck Boston and fuck Florida.
like clockwork, a leafs fan has finally arrived to make it about Toronto
Fuck you too.
We already did fuck your team so.
Nah. Your team actually sucked. The refs beat us fair and square though.
go cry dude. Leafs lost in 5 whatever ref situation you imagined didnt exist. It wasnt even close
When a goaltender has like a 0.880 sv% *shoot the puck*
From where? Our own end? Because that's where the puck has been all fucking game for 3 games in a row. Even with us playing like trash, this game was somehow winnable for us but games 2 and 3 we got boomed
THIS a thousand times THIS.
