Post-Game Talk: ECSF Game 4 - We Wuz Robbed - And the NHL knows it!!! - Tampa Bay wins in OT and leads series 3-1

[Top Shelf Wrister]

If Stamkos doesnt have a hearing for the elbow on Nash then I'll.......start buying into this ref/nhl bias crap. You cant get more of a direct head shot than that one

 

[rocketdan9]

You cant win like this.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I was furious after the Acciari call.

I became very happy when Bergy scored.

Was annoyed and furious when Krug was pushed from behind and likely lost for playoffs with no call.

Was livid on that Kucherov hold that led to 3-3 goal.

Feel like going to a funeral soon right now.

I hate this game.

 

[Bmessy]

Back breaker of a game. Krug probably out long term. Hopefully the Bs make a series of this.

If not, good season. but this team has issues and a lot of wasted cap space. Namely top 4 D and 2nd line. Krejci and Backes contracts are major issues. 6mil for a 3rd line grinder would been nice for a defenseman instead

 

[Gordoff]

So pissed off, my BP is pounding and my face beet red!
Put me in coach!

 

[Bruinfanatic]

We will have 1st sighting of Zboril or here comes Cross ?? No postman please

Will be defenceman they got from Rangers,name alluding me right now

 

[Bruin4Life]

Nash was invisible. Worst game yet.
Gionta ... Well that didn't work.
Screwed by the refs big time this entire playoffs.
Rask just can't steal one. I'm waiting for him to shut the door just one game for us. We need to score 5 goals a game it seems to be in it.

CBC making it out that Marchand will be suspended. Ignored the two calls but focused entire everything on Marchand. Us poipoir Canadian bruins fans

 

[JRull86]

Bruins haven't scored a 5 on 5 goal since 4:02 left in the 3rd of game 2.

 

[Hockeyholic]

We just have to win 3 games and we'll probably play well with our backs to the wall. If we win Sunday winning the last 2 becomes likely I don't think we'll lose game 6 and go 0-3 at home this season.

But tonight was the game the first line showed up. Lines 2-4 are a mess right now even though we have some good players on them. D is kind of a mess.

My guess is we force a game 7 and the refs steal it for Tampa.

This exact scenario happened against Ottawa. Won game 1. Lost three straight. Took game 5 in OT. Then lost the third straight home game in OT. Feels like history repeating itself.

 

[Festy1986]

Slow starts did them in.

Game 2 they had no chance but 3 and 4 they dug a hole and that was all she wrote.

I'm aware that a non call tied the game ur maybe chara shouldn't of committed the worst penalty in the world too so it goes both ways

 

[KrejciMVP]

Gionta played hard. Give him a break

It's blame and shame time. Who didn't my expectations tonight

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Good call by Cassidy to go with Gionta over Heinen. He had an assist on the GWG...

I think we both have shown we don't need hindsight to make these types of statements.

I've only agreed with sitting Heinen the first time. He came back with jump and did what was asked.

I have no idea why he was scratched again. He was 100% not the issue with that 3rd line.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Gionta played hard. Give him a break

That and $2.50 will get him an XL coffee at Dunkin.

It was a dumb move for a few different reasons.

 

[Aeroforce]

Just being honest - the better team won and it's not on the refs.

Also, continually spotting visiting teams early two goal leads is a recipe for disaster.

The lineup changes everyone wanted happened, but to no avail.

 

[Bmessy]

Unsuscribe. I can't blame the refs wit this.

This is what you call getting your shit kicked in

 

[bluetib]

Who was the referee just beside McAvoy when he went down?

 

[veganbruin]

I have such little faith this team can climb out of this hole that I’m trimming my beard tonight. f*** this.

 

[McGarnagle]

 

[BruinsFTW]

TB has been the better team majority of this series regardless of the refs...period.

Bruins haven't played their game except for flashes...

If Krug is done, series is over...Team has trouble breaking out as it is.

TB capitalizes on all of their chances, period. Bruins don't. They come up short....Can't get any sustained pressure consistently..

You can blame the refs all you want for bullshit calls and etc...which yeah, they happened.

But when it comes down to it the Bruins just don't finish when they need to. Hasnt been much urgency, desperation or will to win races, puck battles or games...Rask has been ehhhh...hes made huge timely stops but also let in total stinkers at horrible times..I wouldn't blame him for the losses but its not helping.

Without Carlo and Krug now..we just don't have the depth or talent to win...NSH, WPG, PIT etc would dismantle us most likely playing in this poor fashion. Boston just hasn't played their game..

Cassidy is too easy on players. Nash shoulda been benched he was ATROCIOUS in the 1st...yet he keeps sending him out n giving him 1st pp time...

Gionta had no business playing..

Just abysmal all around...Bruins can't play hockey for 10 minutes and win hockey games. They don't seem hungry at all, and to me thats just unacceptable...Especially from guys like Krejci, Nash whose never won shit (wonder why)...unacceptable..

Also if this team can't find their scoring 5v5 then what do they expect? To get handed PPs all the way to the finals? come on. They need to find a way to finish, period.

Right now they don't deserve this series let alone to win the cup.

 

[CheerstoBeers]

Sad.. we deserved this game. Series deserves to be tied. Refs deciding a series is in no way acceptable. Pathetic look for the league

 

[Zillah]

I'm not even mad, I'm just.. disappointed to see the game I love going this way.

It feels like every night it's 5 guys on the ice vs 9.

I've never seen feel like it has some kind of "boost" from the league like Tampa does... I just don't know...

... and the missed obvious calls always seem to factor into deciding the game . God I wish I had the balls to stop watching this BS but I won’t .

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Damm Riley Nash, oops wrong Nash. Riley's line mates must have lit it up with out him holding them back, ooops,


damm Kaspars Daugavins

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I think we both have shown we don't need hindsight to make these types of statements.

I've only agreed with sitting Heinen the first time. He came back with jump and did what was asked.

I have no idea why he was scratched again. He was 100% not the issue with that 3rd line.

Except I said it this morning when it was first rumored, so it’s not hindsight.

I knew it would be Heinen that sat. Easiest guy to do it to.

 

[Andrew83]

This series could easily be 3-1 Bruins.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

How's that Nash trade looking now?
