I don't know what the rule is but wow.

If I'm the Bruins I'd just send someone after Bennett and just deal with the consequences.
They could try cross checking players into Bob. They will get penalized for it though, because the refs will HAVE to call a penalty if Boston tries it.

Big disagree here. You can't be running around being able to do that. And it WILL be called if there is a next time. And Boston fans will reek.
I rarely agree with the NHL on borderline calls, & I'd be irate if that went against us, but Swayman was NEVER making that save push or no push.

It was clearly a missed crosscheck, but they've been letting everything go all f***ing day. The bottom line is the reffing in the playoffs has been a disgrace, so I dunno what the solution is.

My point is, next time, they are going to call the crosscheck. Boston got fcking BURNED on that play because it won't happen again.

Not buying that explanation from the NHL.

If they said "We don't think he would have made the save anyway" that would have been fair. Not enough contact is awful.

Boston unraveling.
