No. You cannot challenge because you think a play should have been blown dead.lol that is not reviewable.
Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 1 - For the FIRST time since March 10th - FREE BEER!!! - B's 4 Whalercanes 3 F/2OT
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Kase is slippery wet. Probably next only to Pastrnak in that regard. Just seems to weave through congested areas with ease. Very encouraging.
If DeBrusk were "on", he'd have a hat trick this afternoon and the game would have not made it to OT. Again, think it has to do with presence of Kase. Pace is everything. Krejci was also very good.... and had his legs for the most part. As usual, kicks it into another gear when it matters.
Bergeron line has been progressively getting better. Still the most talented trio in the game IMO. Maybe one day, with a little work, they can grow up to be as good as Aho and Co.
Chara struggles. I get very nervous when the puck is around him and he's being pressured. Everyone needs to be aware when he's on the ice. Understandably so, not in mid-season form.
Don't know what to make of Ritchie. He's basically a younger Backes for this team..... Can't keep up. All right in front of the net and below the goal line winning battles. Everywhere else non-factor..... or liability.

That is some pretty heavy duty nonesensacleness right there. lol
This year they now allow a challenge that a play should have been blown dead due to hand pass or hitting the mesh (which now cant happen anyway because there is none.) RBM had to either challenge hand pass or goalie interference of which neither occurred so he was going to lose no matter what he did

I noticed that too, and hopefully that doesn't discourage dafoomie from posting videos.Dafoomie's highlights got blocked by the NHL on YouTube.

In this instance, the NHL posted similar content, so they likely had his blocked.
Dafoomie's was twice as long, but here it is. It was good for my soul hearing Edwards and Brickley after five months. I really missed both of them.
I'm not certain, but do I recall Fenway saying they called the game remotely back in Boston? If so, they didn't miss a beat.

Yup - they do it from Boston, or the NESN studios in Watertown. It looks like a broom closet - NESN was
more generous with the 3 Red Sox announcers. A lot of the RSNs have their guys in the empty hockey arena, but according to Fenway the furloughs at TD Garden keep Jack and Brick from doing it there. It's also keeping Ron Poster from playing his organ music and having it pumped into Toronto.
Kudos to them - I agree that Jack didn't seem to miss a beat at all.

So I don't know why I waited until 1 am to start watching the game.... 
But
Kase....wow. If he keeps that up, I'm his newest fan.
Nordy is a gamer.
I still hate Edmundsen who just scored. But your time's coming, buddy...
Carolina has some cheap punks.

Thanks for that!
I would think there would be one or two instances in which Jack may have missed the play if he's at the mercy of a television feed, but he was right on.

I was surprised to see the Canes outhitting the B's. They've got some new faces, but their rep in recent years hasn't been that of a nasty team.So I don't know why I waited until 1 am to start watching the game....

Yeah, that was my immediate reaction too. There was no “call” for the refs to clarify so he’s just barking up an imaginary tree here. If he wants to be upset that’s fine but he doesn’t make himself look good with that angle.

They outhit us because we had possession of the puck practically the whole game.

That was a fight to start the playoffs
Boston will/can improve with getting more real games under their belt, Carolina will improve by adding talent into their roster.
Should be a fast entertaining series
Kase grew on me as the game went on, on top of his usual skating and being a bit everywhere started to show his offensive skills
Rask will improve which will be huge

That confirms the eye test. He was an absolute beast when he was out with Grz yesterday

I support this decision. He's an absolute horse and I love the man.

Totally agree but theres plenty of people who agree with Rod... but it definitely wasn't a hand pass or high stick, and he had his glove on the puck for like .25 seconds before it was swatted out... enough possession to cancel the hand pass/high stick, but not to get a whistle. The end. I do think the explanation Brindamour got was BS but still, that's a goal.

He made a ton of those passes yesterday... and was credited with.... ZERO giveaways.... meanwhile McAvoy was damn near flawless and was credited with 5 giveaways... crazy stuff

The opponent has to take the puck away from a player for it to be a giveaway.
Mrzak is their #1 goaltender. I don't see why they wouldn't play him especially with Reimer as his back up

Reimer is better at positional saves while Mrazek has a bad habit of sliding while moving. You see this in technicolor on the Bergeron goal.
Reimer also has a good history against the Bruins.
So there is an argument with going to him over Mrazek, but I dont think you sink your main goaltenders confidence by dumping him after one game. Bruce is not gonna do that to Rask either. I would be stunned to see Halak in tonight. Game 3? Could be Reimer vs. Halak, but not game 2.
