All 3 of those posts by cbj, Tuukka got a piece of them.

He will def be suspended now that it was only 2 mins


WE HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME

McAvoy won’t playgame 7

Was the CBJ player suspended for his elbow to Backes head, I can't remember.

Actually, on like the 4th replay, his arm hits Anderson's chest first, though most of the contact hit him in the jaw. I could also see them justifying it somewhat by saying Anderson was leaning forward a bit. At this point, who the hell knows what the league sees.

Anderson leaning forward and his head being down made things even worse

 

[RoccoF14]

Permanent ban on any bruins poster that ever complains about officiating again

Well said. Shocked he didn’t get 5 there.

 

[rfournier103]

That was a bad hit. They got lucky refs are gunshy calling majors after what happened to Vegas

Bingo.

Game 7?

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Watch the replays guys, he gets all kinds of chest. Got jaw, but not only jaw, got all kinds of body. "Principle point of contact" is not the head.

That's what I saw too.

 

[winterwill]

McAvoy was just playing physical hockey. Bad hits happen it's a fast game. he had no bad intent on that hit

Exactly.
Five and misconducts should be for flagrant shots to the head.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

THought it was a bad hit. That said, Boston had their load of these kind of hit on the receiving side.
We need a great PK and come back at playong 200 feet. To much time in our zone.

 

[cat400]

Anderson has spent the whole series trying to deliver one of those hits on the Bruins.

 

[Bruinator]

He's got them lined up to hit him. Anderson puts his head down and Charlie is already committed to the hit what else can you do?

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Maybe I'm the only but I didn't think the hit was that bad. Anderson's lowered his head, and it looked like Mcavoys arm got chest and head, not just head. More full body than a headshot IMO.

 

[BTO]

Anderson has been charging and aiming for the head ALL series.

Yup

 

[bobbyorr04]

He lowered his head, I am sure Charlie didn't do it deliberate. hence the 2 minutes

Sounds good......we'll go with that

 

[Gordoff]

STFU JONES!

 

[Grimey]

Disagree. Only takes 1 second to score.

Or 0.9 if you're Tyler Toffoli I guess

 

[Lockheed]

Not every hit that makes head contact is suspension worthy.

 

[GordonHowe]

Regardless of whether the call was right or wrong, it’s just unnecessary with 20 seconds left in the period. Go get the puck and burn the rest of the period off.

It is, still, heat of the moment stuff. No excuse. Bad hit.

Though it is so difficult not to let expletives fly about CBJ. Or, of course, any club that isn't the Bruins.

It ain't easy being black & gold.

 

[TP]

Worried about cheap shots now

 

[KrejciMVP]

Give me a break CBC. Clueless coverage

 

[Alicat]

Give me a god damn break with the suspension shit.

Where was the outrage when that happened to Backes?!

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Pathetic that this type of hit draws the pearl clutchers out.

He lit him up in the chest. Head contact was on the follow through and unintentional.

It's still a contact sport

 

[Marcobruin]

I'll say this...

I don't think McAvoy intentionally targeted his head, or intended on throwing a headshot...

However...the contact hit the head...He should get 5 and tossed...thats the rules...

We caught a huge break...

Naturally people will come out the woodwork on the main boards of the DIRTY BRUINS and the leagues hilarious BOSTON BIAS....but whatever..

We did get lucky...But I don't think for one second McAvoy targeted his head intentionally...He isn't that type of player

I totally agree McAvoy did not target his head but at what point we give merit to "intention" hard judgement calls

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Terrible call should have been 5 min and game.
Will be suspended next game 100%

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Anderson has spent the whole series trying to deliver one of those hits on the Bruins.

Also recall him with the flying elbow at Chara.

Earlier this game he charged and exploded head on into Gryz.

No sympathy.

 

[Gordoff]

I really really HATE NBCSN

 

[trenton1]

Wow. Where was all the suspension talk when Backes got hit?
