I want to know why he failed to report his injury right away.So he’s both injured and a terrible referee.
Multitasker.
His pride cost us the lead and ultimately the game.
Unacceptable.

Also the ref who failed to call the obvious trip on McAvoy.
Wow. No reason for an injured ref to stay in the game. They have backups. I wonder if it affected his performance, skating or focus.
There is not a word of fact in this post, merely your opinion, not one that I share but we can agree to disagree.
He missed the McAvoy callWas he def the ref down low on the mcavoy missed called?
Did he also make the call on acciari?
I dont feel like watching the game again to check
I could be wrong but if I remember correctly it was more about money then revenge. IIRC Moog made some comment on the radio that good ol' Harry didn't like and voila!The Rask takes are just plain dumb. Essentially, it's people seeking a pelt because they're still mad about 17 awful seconds five years ago when a flurry of turnovers and missed coverages let one of the top lines in hockey do its thing - and forgetting about the stellar goaltending that got the B's to that point. He and Tim Thomas are the only two Bruins goaltenders of the last quarter-century to start a Stanley Cup Final game.
For all of the "Rask is a choker" narrative, his career playoff save percentage (.924) is *better* than his regular season save percentage (.922) .. and his career save percentage and GAA are both tops among active goaltenders in the NHL.
But, I'm sure Sweeney should jettison him for spare parts to create a scapegoat, just like Sinden did in 1993 when he jettisoned Andy Moog for Jon Casey, leading us through a decade of Blaine Lacher, Rob Tallas, Bill Ranford, Jim Carey, Byron Dafoe, Steve Shields, Andrew Raycroft, Manny Fernandez ... the Bruins had some really good teams in that span that could never get past the second round (and often the first) because of goaltending.
I still cant get over that non call. Feel like im whining. But man. Tampa had notbing going at allHe missed the McAvoy call
Not sure about the Acciari one
I’m pissed because it directly impacted the game’s outcome.I still cant get over that non call. Feel like im whining. But man. Tampa had notbing going at all
Hey Betsy, If I've got a strong feeling that league doesn't think that they have ANY problems bigger than the Brad Marchand "Lickathon." I'll bet he stayed up all night thinking "how can I drive them banana's?" Seriously though I really doubt that the league suits think that there's any issue with their officials. I can hear them now: "the refs and linesmen have a tough job and it isn't an easy job, blah blah blah (stuffed shirt speak).* Best TV announcer's voice* "Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of the NHL's Officiating Problem, coming up Sunday at 3PM"

He seems to have annoyed an awful lot of people this time. Perhaps a change of scenery would help him?No way he will be moved .

Help him with whatever compels him to waste his talent by resorting to the type of nonsense he has been unfortunately known for. Why does he think he needs to do that stuff when he has such skill?Help him what?
Be a productive player?

If the Bruins and Lightning respectively win the next two games, that would mean the following:
Two years straight of being swept at home in losing a series.
7 out of 9 series since 2008 where the Bruins are eliminated on home ice. Is it just me, or has this team not been very good at home in the postseason over their History?
You act like he's replaced his performance with the antics. He's not wasting his talent in any way shape or form.Help him with whatever compels him to waste his talent by resorting to the type of nonsense he has been unfortunately known for.

I don't agree. He has had multiple suspensions and undoubtedly will have more. He spends unnecessary time in the penalty box, and he is embarrassing himself and his teammates. We should be talking about his amazing pass to Bergeron on the short handed goal, not about this foolishness. He will limit his career, in my opinion, by these antics, and that is a shame.You act like he's replaced his performance with the antics. He's not wasting his talent in any way shape or form.

That is just stupid.He seems to have annoyed an awful lot of people this time. Perhaps a change of scenery would help him?
