BRUINS GDT ECSF GAME 5 7:11 PM - AGAINST ALL ODDS - ESPN, ESPN+, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - Sunrise leads series 3-1

[Tonysil]

Another example of why I’m not even bothering to watch.

We need to file some sort of class action lawsuit to have the NHL admit that the results are predetermined and make them change their name to the NHE, for National Hockey Entertainment. 2019 you might be able to chalk up to ineptitude but from 2020 on it's been so obvious.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Look at Vancouver series.McDavid swings stick nothing,Kane slewfoot nothing Hyman crosscheck to Zadorov head nothing & that gave him stitches on same play he got a fine & Soucy suspended.George Parros is absolutely corrupt & needs to resign.I mean come on the disparity is not even close .

Clear agendas for certain.

 

[Tonysil]

Why are people so afraid of a penalty? They take a too many men penalty each game.
Run over Bob every chance you can and I guarantee they will stick up for their teammate, all while Marchy sits with a concussion and no response to Bennet.
Seems like the organization not only neutered the team but the fans too... Since when did the Big Bad Bruins turn into the Best Behaviour Bruins

I am pretty sure if we wrote down what we really wanted to see tonight it would be against this website's terms and conditions.

 

[bob77]

No word on lineup?

 

[22Brad Park]

Clear agendas for certain.

I cannot see how anyone can not think it's corrupt watching that 2 handed cross check to Zadorov's head and nothing.But same play same thing to McDavid is a suspension.

Didn't care much for 2019 either.

Berube told them just how he needed the games called and that's exactly what they did. Ineptitude my ass.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

OK B’s here’s the deal.

1) thank you for the season. Expected a transition year so a round 2 matchup is better than I expected.

2) the refs have screwed you on a couple of biggies. Frustrating to all, but no solution to that. I do hope Neely reamed the NHL though.

3) FLA is a better team on paper and on the ice. Put in a full effort tonight and I’m good, win or lose. If not I’ll be extremely disappointed. Talent is talent, but effort is non negotiable.

4) For the love of God someone please hack a big slash on the POS Bennetts left hand. Hard. Do the DOPS job for them. He has no right being on the ice. NHL cares about head shots, my ass.

Bobby Clarke would know what to do

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

For the series
FLA leads 8-7 in even strength goals
FLA leads 6-0 in PP goals (Boston had one but gave up one shorthanded so...)

Florida's entire game plan is to waste time 5v5, low percentage shots, strong forecheck.

Wait for PP, skill takes over. Very Habs like.

Hopefully Zacha, Coyle and Lindholm arent wearing these uniforms tonight.

With prices of tix and advent of legalized gambling wouldn't surprise me to someday
see a group of season ticket holders or a DA trying to ingratiate himself file a lawsuit...lol.

Bozak basically called his own penalty and the refs still ignored it.

That's an unfair shot at Coyle.

Clear agendas for certain.

I just don't understand why the NHL, if they're in the business of fixing games, would opt to fix in favor of the 28th highest revenue earning team instead of the 6th highest revenue earning team. Makes no sense from a business stand point, unless the goal is to keep hockey-related revenue, and thus the cap, down.


For the record, I don't believe there is a fix, I think the refs and league office just suck at their jobs.

That's what I mean though if that was the plan Berube would not have called them out publicly. After watching what happened that's when the " league office" realized how much power they really had over these games.

I believed what you believed until Bennett's rabbit punch and goal. I'm with the grassy knoll brigade now...lol.

 

[TobanWest]

Ok so I think I am correct but hear me out.
6 preseason games played
82 regular season games played
11 playoff games played

99 total games played this season.
Tonight's the 100th in the 100th season.

Play for the crest.

They would do it because Boston will always sell out the garden and they hope one day that the Panthers will have some fans of their own and maybe start filling that arena.

Their attendance jumped 12% after their little run last year you think the NHL doesn't want to see that jump another 12%?

 

[bobbyorr04]

The Bruins probably don't have enough overall talent and/or gas in the tank to win this series as it is

..so why are the NHL and DoPs stacking the deck against the Bruins??

it makes no sense

This looks almost exactly like the Bennett goal

WTF NHL..........get your friggin act together

It is the 100th season after all too, play with some dignity and pride for the city of Boston and it's fans, not to mention for themselves too! Rise up boys! Rise up!
Show the kitties and the NHL, they Fk'd with the wrong team! Let's GOOOOO!

Parros was nothing but a goon and now in charge of handing out suspensions.That to me is wrong from the get go.I definitely feel like he let's his personal feelings take over because none of it makes sence outside Soucy getting 1 for crosschecking McDavid .Don't take a scientist to know if u touch the leagues meal ticket you are sitting.

 

[CrownofThornton]

What was that settlement like 19 million or something

I’m not sure. Probably an amount of money that family would wipe their collective asses with.

I thought the NFL's officiating has been rigged for many years

...but the NHL says hold my beer

 

[HustleB]

Work calls are done. Just preparing for tomorrow and getting ready for the game. I have an irrational belief we are going to win this one. If you disagree then leave me the f*** alone.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Whats tomorrow?

 

[smithformeragent]

Whats tomorrow?

October?
