Post-Game Talk: ECQF Game 3 - B's get robbed in OT - Ottawa leads series 2-1

[bruins repeat time]

It's 2-1, we could well have been up 3-0. They've played like **** for a lot of the series but still had enough opportunities to win (also officiating has been more horrible against us than against the Sens in every game so far). If we get one or two guys back and some of the guys we have step up a bit more we can easily win this in 6.

Sure we can do it but honestly to this point in the series the sens have been the slightly better team . I think they were better in 1 and 3 and us in game 2 .

 

[Fossy21]

Both Marchand and Schaller took punches to the face and in the shot you can see Peel shaking his head no, then he calls that punch in OT.

It's not something people should be able to get over. It's exactly how not to officiate. In the NHL playoffs, it should be inexcusable. It tarnishes the Stanley Cup. It has to be better.

He ****ing SMILED at Marchand. Bet he smiled as they left the ice after the OT winner as well, seeing who scored it.

 

[bruinmann77]

why was that not matching if anything at all. but no excuse to be down 3-0 at home

 

[Lobster57]

Can I get that clip of Ryan's elbow/Nash' s punch and the Methot/Schaller encounter together?

 

[Fossy21]

Sure we can do it but honestly to this point in the series the sens have been the slightly better team . I think they were better in 1 and 3 and us in game 2 .

First game was even at worst. We were much better in the first period, they dominated the second period (still didn't have many more great chances than they scored on in that game) and we were much better in the third as well.

**** the REFS! And **** this league. Garbage. I'm done with the NHL.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Tough pill to swallow considering the Bruins were doing so well despite such a terrible defense. Clearly deserved better than to lose in OT by a PP goal after a weak call.

This....Bruins playing above their skill level given lack of experienced D men and egregious call was the deciding factor...this ref should never be allowed to officiate any round of playoffs.

 

[Fossy21]

Toss in the one where the ref grins at Marchand after he's punched, as if to say "Don't worry, we've set the bar, we'll keep it"

 

[BBB24]

Chara way too slow. Cross stopped instead of playing through Ryan. Cassidy in love with Moore and Nash. Can't beat the trap without speed and possession.

How do people keep blaming Chara, imagine if he wasn't there to play 30 minutes a night, meanwhile let's bring up a 28 year old minor leaguer, 3 NHL games on his resume, no hockey IQ and way to slow. Without Chara this team doesn't stand a chance, same as their odds with Cross in the lineup, but hey, nice guy.

 

[bruinmann77]

I see no way does this team come back from this!

 

[fin8]

Wow, that was a horrible call. I usually never blame the refs, but that call decided the game.

 

[trenton1]

don't forget that Shuffleboard MacArthur got free punches tonight, too.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Let's stop whining about the officiating. Badly reffed games are not that uncommon for any team. We didn't play a good game.

Hmmmm, but Ottawa did? I would say blowing a 3-0 lead is a pretty good indication that you choked like dogs.

 

[missingchicklet]

LOL. Ryan just told Pierre that Nash was essentially pushed into his punch. Uh, no.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Plenty of people to blame... That, Cross watching him score... and I understand the call was horrendous, but in overtime, if you're Rielly Nash, you can't ****ing retaliate there. So, so, so ****ing selfish and dumb.

Really frustrating that they ignore Ryan's elbow, embellish, and their threshold, but c'mon man... ****. Boneheaded.

I disagree. The officials set their standards on what was going to be called and that wasn't gonna be called. Much rather he let Ryan know it wasn't acceptable than sit there and take his ****.

 

[Greek_physique]

Team played like **** in first....pasta gets nailed from behind and nothint...yet a cheap penalty decides it in overtime.. Gotta love the refs

 

[bruins repeat time]

Let's stop whining about the officiating. Badly reffed games are not that uncommon for any team. We didn't play a good game.

Your right but when you watch Pasta get cross checked just earlier and if you want to talk punches McArthur took a 100 percent shot at nash earlier it is a little hard to swallow right now .

 

[CptxMorgan]

don't forget that Shuffleboard MacArthur got free punches tonight, too.

He had a concussion so he's allowed to, sort of like metal plate on the Habs can get away with whatever he wants.

 

[bruins repeat time]

Can I get that clip of Ryan's elbow/Nash' s punch and the Methot/Schaller encounter together?

Add McArthur punch at nash

 

[KrazyLegs]

Just watch. The Bs will start sucker punching Sens in G4...and they'll call it.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Shawn Michaels and Dolph Ziggler could learn a thing or two from that Bobby Ryan sell job.

Yet Nash no selling like Taker back in the day that forearm shiver to the chin

 

[trenton1]

Tim Peel had to pile on Tommy Cross. Everyone hates a late bloomer.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

LOL. Ryan just told Pierre that Nash was essentially pushed into his punch. Uh, no.

Lying sack of ****.

 

[missingchicklet]

I disagree. The officials set their standards on what was going to be called and that wasn't gonna be called. Much rather he let Ryan know it wasn't acceptable than sit there and take his ****.

Not to mention Schaller got sent to the box for taking two punches to the face and not responding. Not sure what the players were supposed to think was acceptable.

 

[JRull86]

Big game that had meaning that the Bs had to win, I should have known.

20 shots, pps almost the same, shouldnt have even been in the game.

No one to blame but themselves.

They were the better team for the final 35+ minutes of the game. There's a reason games aren't a period long.

Such a tired, and frankly stupid go to excuse instead of calling it how it really is. And that was a competitive game that was ruined due to poor inconsistent officiating at the end.
