Series Talk: ECSF-Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins (FLA leads 3-2)

[elmaco]

You should watch more, and you’ll see all that Bennett brings.

Brought a goal yesterday, after that elastic Coyle decided to start laying on the goalie.

Regarding the goalie-interference goal, many Caps fans were immediately (and very painfully) reminded of this goalie-interference goal in Game 7 of the 2008 Quarterfinals against the Flyers. The goal counted. It was a brutal non-call. (IMO, even more egregious than the Bennett goal.)

 

[Mathews28]

Wow. This is the league. You flop you get the call.

OEL.

Oliver Ekman Lebron?

Maybe I missed it but are you talking about this one, where the pucks right there on his stick?

He gets hit before the pass even gets to him

 

[Mase]

Every Bruin fan has said the Panthers are better and deserve to be winning. There's tons of actual introspection. Bruins don't have the horses to overcome the Panthers, nvm panthers, the refs and the league. "Best players" lol. What best players? Swayman, sure.

That Pasta guy is pretty good.

He scored a great goal to open the scoring, if he played in 3rd period I couldn't tell.

I mean where was their captain!?!

Probably much like me, regretting life's decisions

 

[Babajingo]

Goal didn’t happen in a vacuum, it happened after the officials tied it at 2 and shifted momentum.

Don't argue with FLA fans, they know more about Jai Alai than hockey.

Yeah, Pasta would be better too if he had a centre.

Still not interference.

 

[BTO]

How is there not a thread on that clear goalie interference?

Start one.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I heard similar comments from the last Bruins fan I saw start (and lose) a fight in Sunrise, shortly before he was escorted out of the building.

Jai Alai kicks ass, btw.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Boston challenged Bennett at least five times....

On fly bys, and chirps. They didn't even finish checks on him, lol, most fights aren't staged ones.

Take a guy to the boards, slash him in the legs and force him to go if you must, obviously you get extra minutes in penalties but he would not back down in a situation like that. Asking for, getting declined, and skating away, then doing nothing, does nothing. If they wanted to be under his skin, they could have got there.

They don't want it bad enough, and they are not going to intentionally shoot themselves in the foot, that much is obvious.

 

[BTO]

Wich bad non call led to Barkov's goal?

Yup. Barkov made a big boy play while none of our 3rd & 4th liners playing on the first 2 lines could. Have said that multiple times. That’s why we lost. Still doesn’t alter the fact that the refs and the league suck or that the panthers are dirty little diving pukes (well they’re not little, alas). Hey, why not? The league enables them after all.

 

[Mase]

Yeah, Pasta would be better too if he had a centre.

I'm certain you're correct, but does that absolve him? How about McAvoy? DeBrusk? Zacha? Coyle?

Nobody showed up for Boston in the 3rd, when they needed it most, in a game they HAD to win, at home....2 shots.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Still not interference.

If you say so. Looks like interference to me. At least I can admit it, just like I admit Bennett should've been suspended for his hit and the GI call was soft.

 

[Ratsreign]

Don't argue with FLA fans, they know more about Jai Alai than hockey.

.....but still know more about hockey than many Bs fans

Jai Alai is bad ass, though. I wish the frontons weren’t all gone!

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

How is there not a thread on that clear goalie interference?

Absolutely insane game management. Rooting for Florida, but come on. Not sure how the league is gonna push gambling this much when results are clearly pushed in certain directions. I don’t think refs/league care who wins, but they want OTs and tied games.

Also, Bennett should be suspended, sorry. Clear sucker punch, playoff hockey is dope but there’s a line there.

Bruins went into full turtle mode after that blown call. Tbf the bruins aren’t close to the same caliber as Fla . Time for coaching change.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Bruins in 5, Florida can't handle the physicality
Road split, we got this!
They don't respect the code! Pasta isn't a fighter!
Pat Maroon is gonna send Tkachuk to the ER!
The refs f***ed us!
Injure their star players! f*** it! Retribution time!
BETTMAN SUNBELT CONSPIRACY
Dey ain't even got real fans <============= YOU ARE HERE
The Rangers are going to sweep them.
Pasta and McAvoy played so poorly because they were injured.
At least we beat the Leafs.

Refs gave the Bruins one free shot then said that’s enough boys let’s play hockey. Then of course it was the Panthers who got the free shots. Or rather continued to get them. Got free dives too.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Then call 2 each



Time will tell. He could have dropped them, grabbed on, tumbled to the ice and it would be over.

Think about the license your suggesting be given to a player who “can’t fight” right now. He can do whatever he wants then, right? And not fight because of the finger?.

Would be like a guy coming back from a broken jaw, can’t fight, running around with no chance of retribution.

The very premise screams douche, and fits pretty well given his body of work.

Next year who’s he going to take on to end this…lindholm again?

Cmon man. Call a spade a spade. He’s a good player, he’s tough as nails, he has high compete level and wants badly to win. A plus for any organization. And he’s a dirty dbag.

Should have been 2 each, I said it then, and will again, tough call, and I was happy for the kid he scored afterwards or Monty probably would have benched him the rest of the series.

Singing along to an old STP song again this morning, I see.

Are you hearing yourself? Good lord.

Coaching change or GM change? Can only go so far when C depth is just Coyle, Zacha and Geekie(?)

DeBrusk, Zacha and Coyle are 3rd-line talents. McAvoy is having an atrocious playoffs. Wasn’t any better against the leafs. Actually he was worse.

Sweeney has been fine overall. Monty panicked like 13 yr old girl multiple times this post season, plus theyve had 5 too many men penalties this post season. Not to mention this 2nd yr in row the bruins have gone ass up in the physical dept to Fla, this is a coaching issue imo . Time to send him packing.
