My George Foreman grill malfunctioned and burned my cheese whiz and polenta sandwich.

At least it didn't burn your foot!

Anyone left who doesn’t see that the league will shaft the Bruins, really is willfully ignorant at this point. There is not a single team whose best scorer being raped on a breakaway that wouldn’t get a call. Not one. Only the Bruins scorers can be raped like that. Happens to Krejci every game as well.

So then we might as well accept it and adapt.

Man, I said to @Kovi what a fun game this was late in the second period. Boy did those refs steal that mojo.

They still got a point with tons of guys out. Donato has a great night. I’m not really that mad. Columbus doesn’t scare anyone. Defense needs to clamp up a bit. Rask in a lull a bit. It’s fine. Better now than playoffs.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

McQuaid didn’t play in the third.

This one blows, but the B’s better learn to live with it and overcompensate for the bad/non-calls - it’s what they’re going to gave to deal with in the playoffs.

Thankfully, there is no 3v3 OT in the playoffs. That's one regular season situation, the Bruins just don't seem to really have it. They look very slow for the most part.

Atrocious defense and coverage tonight, but game was clearly decided by referees.

definitely not a stellar outing for the D
But we got a point and Donato looked good

 

[Hali33]

Missed call in OT was inexcusable. Absolutely.

Bruins blew a 3-1 lead prior to that. That’s what cost them the extra point IMO.

 

[Paddington]

Sour ending to a fantastic NHL debut. The thing that really stood out about Donato is how much he was buzzing around the puck. It seemed like every time he was on the ice he either had the puck on his stick or he was battling somebody to get it. Relentless.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

You’re rewarding in this league for diving to sell the call. The Bruins need to take note and do more of that.

Except for Marchy who will get called for embellishment and fined AGAIN

2 holds and then a pick/interference on Donato in OT with no calls. Just 1 month ago we watched Bergeron chase down a guy on a brakeaway and stick check him through the legs taking the puck away without actually touching the guy (real life game of Operation) and the refs call a penalty shot. Today, a guy grabs both of Marchand's hips and turns him: nothing to see here, move along.

It's shocking the Bruins D is led by 2, 5'9" guys. One leads all players on ice with 26:23 while the other is 2nd on the Bruins in ice time with 22:32.

 

[Gordoff]

Tonight was a gift to C-Bus. Jackson and Co. flat out gave it to them. Shame! I'm 60 and call it as I see it, no b.s. the Bruins were cheated out of the point tonight!

 

[Pia8988]

People get mad when Leaf or Habs fans come here. No need to go shit up the Columbus board because of the stripes.

Went from 12 to 6 in like 7.1 seconds.

 

[chizzler]

Jackets board salty...all 12 of them.

Why? They won the game.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

About what?

A couple of us, very civilly, pointed out that they were lucky to escape the game with the W.

They didn’t take it well.

 

[JCRO]

At least it didn't burn your foot!

Cannot let this one go unnoticed.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Based on the man is not on skates and season near over.You think he just going to fire skates on and go after that injury ?I said I am having my doubts about 1st round or at very least starting series.Could be wrong but we will see .Have you heard any reports on him?

He was reported to be out for what, 4 weeks? And I don't believe we've hit the 4 week mark, yet. Nothing to report, though.

 

[northeastern]

The refs sucking shouldn't overshadow just how good donato played. Injuries can't keep this team down!

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

In any case, what a heck of a fun game!! There was more excitement during that minute before the mad scramble in front of the net where Donato was trying to jam it home than in all of the 2015 season.

 

[bruins repeat time]

I thought we played awesome . Considering the icings and non OT calls I would say we got screwed . I am not with you guys thinking the OT were as obvious penalties called all the time but I think they were both like 75 percent and if you call the first one it is a penalty shot for sure . Nash the guy got the hook up on his high hand and body and is usually called but no love tonight .

Tons to be happy about tonight so I come out feeling pretty good combining this game with last game against two really good hockey teams with a ton of injuries /the near future and i mean april may june looks very bright . If we can get healthy we have a great looking line up and an injury or two shouldn't kill us.

He was reported to be out for what, 4 weeks? And I don't believe we've hit the 4 week mark, yet. Nothing to report, though.

That's very fair assessment.Cannot say you are wrong.But it's very close to danger point.Lets give it another week to 10 days.Should hear something by then I would hope.

You guys have at least a 10-year dynasty team on your hands. Take good care of it. Oh and I bet a good amount of money on your team winning the Cup......Good luck. And good news is that if it doesn't happen, you will be able to blame me for it. lol. Have fun in the playoffs. You will obviously go real far. And for years to come.

 

[trenton1]

Jesus Columbus fans are mighty ****ing touchy after getting a gift from the stripes tonight.

In the big picture their team isn't that good. Decent. But not about to beat Washington, Tampa, Boston in best of 7.

Nice, already got a scapegoat.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

So Postma, huh?

#NextManUp

Really worried about Quaider, out for entire 3rd, team doctors and the ER docs who sit behind us went into the room...we didn’t see any play where there was obvious injury....
