After the punch his knees buckled taking one step to the bench. Not sure how that was missed

Sure looks like Boston didn't muster much on their PP or 5v5. Was even gifted a 6-4 and couldn't even register a shot.

Go Mo!I’m just gonna copy and paste his quote to save myself some future typing.

Cousins.....kind of a c**t
Beyond me how that wasn't/shouldn't be interference. Just a horrible call or non-call.

Again, no one cares about punching Fat Pat Ultra. Even when they’re down by two, because FL knows they can still come back and win. Which they did, because they never quit. Their focus is on advancing to round three, they don’t give a shit about anything else. Especially not trying to punch out a now rather meaningless player trying to relive his glory days from TB.
You guys can console yourselves by talking about how cowardly Benny is, if it helps you through the day.

Not trying to do anything...just replying to your comment. Did Florida not control the puck for a majority of the game?
I'm not even trying to argue what calls were fair or not. Boston, after the 1st, lost control of the game. The penalties didn't help, but they didn't help themselves either to shift momentum back on their side. After going up 2-0, Boston stopped playing hard.

He's not fighitng coming off a broken bone in his left hand. Sorry you can't understand that. I'm sure the score will be settled the first regular season matchup next season.
This is the nightmare for the NHL. A bad non call that leads to a game winning goal, and badly tilts the series in favor of one team. It's not the first time, and won't be the last, but I am baffled as to how Toronto cannot see that crosscheck, and how it impacted that sequence of play.
Not a fan of either team, btw.

I don't understand the angst. Brad Marchand plays a certain kind of hockey and his fans glory in it. The hockey that Bennett played with him was Marchand hockey. It's a testament to this great leader that he loves to play this way and believes it is the right way to play whether or not he is on the receiving end of it. For Boston fans, this is their man in the arena. This should be glorious joy! He is doing the hockey the way it should be done, good for him.

No, they're picking and choosing when to call those "interference" penalties. If they called them tight the game would be played 4 on 4 pretty much all game.
I wasn't really complaining about those though. You threw that out there.
I'm complaining about the league saying they're heavily scrutinizing the series then holding back a clear video of Bennett on Marchand for a few days & not even giving him a fine or anything.
Then reviewing his goal and deeming that a "good goal". That's twice the league looked at plays that aren't hockey plays and saying, no those are fine. You're allowed to do that. Then the Panthers are gifted a "delay of game" penalty.

Bennett answered the challenge, see the scoresheet for the reply.

The highlight of Fat Pat Ultra’s game nowadays is patrolling the red line during pregame skate trying to yap at people. The clown show makes the Panthers, and their fans, laugh.
I rarely post in these threads, but thank you both for being impartial FLA fans.
To those saying it's Marchand he deserves it ETC ETC ETC. It's not about who is at the receiving end, it's about the hit itself. Put any player from your team in Marchand's position on that play and insert Marchand into Bennet's spot. You would all be screaming how dirty the punch was after seeing that other angle. Fla fans, put Barkov into Marchand's spot on that hit. Is it still deserved?
I'm a massive Bruin's fan, but an even bigger NHL fan. The sport is headed in the right direction and ESPN's coverage, however painful to watch sometimes, is definitely helping it. For that hit to not be even a fine is just insane from the NHL. The job of DOPS is to protect its players, and it completely failed here.

If that means the influx of cranky Bs fans would lessen, I’ll bring my saw and help old Bugs out

Lauko was skating full speed at Bob and had every intention of making contact . At that point the dirty Bruins were trying to incite a riot and take out their top players.

Their goals came on a faceoff play during the power play and a knuckle puck from Carlo. Panthers were dominating play in the 1st period as well. Boston was beyond fortunate to have a lead in the game.

But Ekblad on Lauko’s net drive was not an infraction.
The refs are so ridiculously incompetent and seem to get worse each year. Sometimes it’s in your fav team favor and sometimes not. But even if they even out, timing can result in a call that changes the outcome.
Not saying at all that’s the reason for the 3-1 panthers lead and mentioning that because if my Bs avatar. Point is the level of incompetence in the on ice officiating, the off ice officials, DoPS, the concussion spotters is mind boggling.
NHL will never be better than the 4th most popular major team sport. Never. They continually f themselves.
Panthers Propaganda
We're a team
It was getting bad after Florida got their first goal, and they had a few great chances to tie it at 2. The GI miss certainly seemed to accelerate the Bruins implosion that was more than likely coming anyway.
I’ll still take every opportunity I can to mention it though
lol this is actually hilarious

Bruins have been on the wrong end of some ref decisions, goalie interference non call was huge
But the better team is winning so that takes some sting out of it

Oh absolutely. If I thought the Bruins actually had a chance i’d be in a mental institute right now.

Florida had issues with the refs early in the Tampa series because PPs were heavily skewed in the Bolts favor. Every team has issues with officiating regardless of playoffs or not. There's no oversight for officiating because the league either doesn't want it or can't do it (for unknown reasons).
