Can we go a few hours without discussing the refs?

The top line was dominate yesterday, Marchand won’t miss that open net again. The Krejci line needs to play less finesse and more grit. Pucks on net, crash the crease. Without the Krejci line contributing, their chances of advancing are slim.

Trotz putting on a clinic on how to influence NHL officiating.

Embarrassing for Butch

What a load of BS, nice to be complimentary when your team is near the very bottom when it comes to being shorthanded despite playing old school clutch and grab hockey.

Barzal is a superstar and superstars do no wrong at least according to NBC
Gee, I wish we had one of those.. All we have are Bergeron, Marchand and a half dozen others. Maybe it's the laundry or the optics of having a New York and/or Canadian team based out of Toronto in the playoffs that's important. The league wants to be considered serious like the goofy NBA where the players run the asylum. Well in this case the lunatics run it. The NHL wants to be as big as the NFL but acts like pro wrestling. This starts at the owners/Governors who allow it and trickles down to the bugs that they call "officials." Smarmy little bugs and bush league jerks run their league.

Yeah it’s a tough spot for him but would anyone be surprised if the Islanders close it on Wednesday? The coaching staff has to decide if a healthy Swayman gives them a better chance to win if Rask is bothered by a nagging injury .

I wont be surprised if islanders win either of the next two but I will be surprised if Bruins don't get the better of the play .

What!?

Nothing when Leddy elbowed Kuraly.
Nothing when McAvoy was boarded.
Nothing when Barzal crosschecked Lazar in the face.

Incredible cowardice.
The double standards are amazing. The New York Saints get away with crosschecking us in the face, in the back, kneeing us, injuring our players, and they give them a pass. The league can't call enough bullshit penalties on the Bruins that they've gone back four times this series to scour the tape to find more bullshit to fine us for.

It's an abomination. The league is corrupt.

Look at the reality of it all, the Bruins have no one to bring up who could even make a contribution to the current 3rd or 4th lines. Studnicka, Frederick, Blidh, Steen, etc will not improve the situation. Future is not promising.

Sure the penalties are one-sided but you have to fight through the situation. The Bruins had a real good PK but now that has disappeared and they are giving up very easy goals.

All the scoring chances we had, if only from 1 line we still should have been up by 2 or 3 goals. We always make goalies look good due to our lack of finish. 44 shots with a lot of quality chances and a few really good missed opportunities.
