It’s just getting started

FLA isn't interested in fighting , they're interested in agitating. It's their game and it's worked for them. If they have Boston trying to get them to drop the gloves then their game plan's working.I guess I give 88 credit for dropping the mitts, and I’m glad he did it against an opponent who isn t a particularly good fighter, .... Last two fights between these teams were 2 bruins first fights ever (lindholm and pasta).
I’ve seen that happen many, many times with no call, it is in no way automatic regardless of what the official rule book says.It’s not “supposed to be” automatic, it is automatic.
It is not often let go, if you take an opponent’s helmet off it is a penalty.
The ref was gonna let both Tkachuk and the B slide for what occurred. The Bruin taking Tkachuk helmet off is automatic 2 minutes.
lol, Ok.No, I didn’t miss the point. The ref decided to let the tit for tat exchange in front of the net go. If he called something there, it would’ve been matching minors, not just a call on Tkachuk. There was going to be no penalties called on the play, at all. Then as things were starting to settle down, he yanks Tkachuk’s helmet off. The ref only called the penalty that the rule book leaves him no leeway to “let it go.”
The ebbs and flows of true fandomMe before the series: Bruins are playing with house money. But the Panthers are going to win. I can’t wait to hate Tkachuk.
Me after game 1: Bruins in 4! Team of Destiny. Tkachuk has been neutered.
Me after game 2: Season over, Cats in 5. Throw Tkachuk in prison.
Not that complicated. He started an altercation with Nick Cousins a good 30+ seconds after the whistle. He also came off the bench to do it. He wasn’t even on the ice the previous shift. Wouldn’t be surprised if he catches a fine for itWould love to know what Maroon did to get ejected considering all that happened after

Cousins got a misconduct too though - if it went as simply as you say then he'd be in the clear.Not that complicated. He started an altercation with Nick Cousins a good 30+ seconds after the whistle.

So your question should be, why did cousins get a misconduct?Cousins got a misconduct too though - if it went as simply as you say then he'd be in the clear.
Some players are just really good at getting opponents off their game. I would think that having a former 60 goal scorer who never fights to drop the gloves instead of scoring is an example of getting someone off their game.
Sure however you want to phrase it. They both got misconducts and Maroon got a roughing. It all looked minor compared to the rest of the players behavior afterward.So your question should be, why did cousins get a misconduct?
It was minor. What was out of the ordinary was how late it was after the play.Sure however you want to phrase it. They both got misconducts and Maroon got a roughing. It all looked minor compared to the rest of the players behavior afterward.
Didn’t that start while game was at commercial break? Maroon started something while play was stopped, or he just said the “right” thing to the ref. Idk, but He quickly tossed him out.FLA isn't interested in fighting , they're interested in agitating. It's their game and it's worked for them.

Think Boston was just sending a message and in a game that was decided. Would love to know what Maroon did to get ejected considering all that happened after.
Was it during a commercial? I couldn't tell from in the arena. Either way it was well after the play and after both teams had changed lines. Cousins was standing at the faceoff circle by himself and Maroon goes over and starts an altercation.Didn’t that start while game was at commercial break?

It’s a bummer he did it against a guy who throws punches after a guy is down though. I guess the honor that Shawn Thornton brought to that part of the game was lost on Florida during his time there. Too bad.They had the camera by the benches on Tkachuk before that. He was yelling “pasta wanna go”. Pasta shrugged like wtf then guess he decided he was going to and told monty.
I guess I give 88 credit for dropping the mitts, and I’m glad he did it against an opponent who isn t a particularly good fighter, I’d be more worried if it was Bennett or Gadj although I think Gadj is more respectful in terms of he who fights.
