Post-Game Talk: EDSF Game 4 - The Russian Machine Breaks Down - Bruins lead series 3-1

[UncleRico]

Our old buddy Berube in StLouis is crying about officiating today.The NHL needs to start dealing with this and now.Boston dominated that game and had 7 penalty kills.That is just wrong.

To be fair a good amount of the bruins penalties were actually penalties.

1. Coyle made a lazy play and was a clear trip
2. Bergy delay of game
3. Carlo coming off the ice when he shouldn’t have for a misconduct(bruins actually lucky that he wasn’t thrown out of the game because that’s how the rule is written)
4. too many men on the ice
5. Jake debrusk slash was actually a slash
6. Coyle delay of game

Only one that I disagree with was the Marchand interference. However the 6 other penalties that lead to a Washington power play were without a doubt penalties.

Amazing how a capital does something and its always 5000, someone else does something and its 8games. funny. Its gonna be great when we end them.

 

[MJR BBB65]

Gross.

And that's why the capitals are a dirty team because the league never punishes them for their actions. Hell if I was a capital player I would cheap shot everyone as well knowing the league will do shit about if because of the NHL's ass kissing Ovechkin

The slash was extremely soft for the playoffs considering what was being allowed as well. And well, the Marchand one was simply disgraceful.

The main point is it's what goes uncalled against the team being dominated to allow for a closer game. The hit one Miller has to be a major.

 

[BB88]

I didn't see any contact to the head. Wouldn't like it if the Bruins were called for a major. 4 min roughing seemed right

His feet clearly left the ice

1. The game was 0-0 at the time of the hit so idk how the main point can be what goes uncalled against a team being dominated.

2. the Miller hit was originally called a major and then brought back down to a minor because replay showed it wasn’t a hit to the head.

Also idk how you can say “for what was being allowed” when Hathaway got a roughing penalty for that soft call on Bergeron.

Bruins benefitted from that and Carlo not getting kicked out for the unsportsmanlike conduct, which by rule of coming off the bench he should have been kicked out.

 

[UncleRico]

His feet clearly left the ice

yes he left his feet, but leaving your feet on a hit isn’t automatically a major penalty. It can be a minor penalty or a major penalty

 

[BMC]

It had better be Jarred Tinordi.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Well unless Vanacek comes back, the Caps are screwed. The Bruins have Craig Anderson and Ilya Samsonov's number it seems.

if vanicek didnt get hurt this wouldve been a sweep.

 

[sooshii]

No mention of Zboril? I know they were managing Vaak's games for the expansion draft, but didn't think he'd fall below Tinordi.

Also, Parros is a piece of garbage human being. Fining Mantha for bumping Rask (which I obviously didn't like) but nothing for Orlov for sending Miller to the hospital with a head injury is disgusting. Actually, I take that back, he's less than human. He has no value for the human race.

I thought Zboril was injured?

 

[sooshii]

 

[Maine Fan]

This game 5 is one for the Bruins to be careful on the ice. If Washington thinks they might lose they will be out to injure out Bruins.

Play smartly Bruins. Protect Tuukka.

Go Bruins

 

[trenton1]

Maybe this point has been made and I’ve missed it, but if Orlov doesn’t leave his feet there Miller probably falls more on his ass. Leaving your feet is dangerous for multiple reasons and in this situation it created leverage for Orlov that led to Miller falling with more force causing the back of his head to hit the ice.

Hearing the talking heads acknowledge he left his feet but downplay it is pissing me off. If Orlov stays on his feet Miller doesn’t smack his head on the ice, it’s as simple as that. It’s why leaving your feet is dangerous and it should have been a major.

Excellent points.

 

[Jdavidev]

I thought Zboril was injured?

Oh, I hadn't seen that. Carry on.

 

[bruinmann77]

sorry no fine is inexcusable for that hit. But the caps get away with it but the bruins need to pound their guys and get them frustrated.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

yes he left his feet, but leaving your feet on a hit isn’t automatically a major penalty. It can be a minor penalty or a major penalty

I don't have the entire rulebook memorized, however a number of penalties resulting in injury are an automatic major or game misconduct.... I believe charging is one such penalty....

The fact they ruled it unsportsmanlike was to deliberately avoid giving a major penalty.

 

[Sevendust]

WTF ...

 

[eightspokedb]

Well said. Also, NBC showed its feelings towards the Bruins last postseason via commentary. It was disgraceful.

Mute button...98.5 or SiriusXM ftw....

 

[sarge88]

Personally, I’d much rather Kampfer than Vaak.

Tinordi I’m good with in this series because of his toughness.

If this were NYI or Pitt, I rather Kampfee over him.

 

[sarge88]

I just sat down for the first time today...

Am I correct that Mantha’s “interference” was deemed worthy of supplemental discipline, but Orlov’s hit on Miller wasn’t?

You are correct, Sarge.

The Jake "slash" in the neutral zone should not be a penalty in the playoffs.... or ever imo. That was extremely ticky tacky, and the Marchand call was horrendous.

 

[sarge88]

You are correct, Sarge.

Absolutely amazing how inept this league is.

 

[BosBruin2k]

Kevan Miller is going to retire Orlov with one punch at some point.

Man I hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No they ruled it unsportsmanlike conduct so they would have the ability to review it. Upon further review they determined it wasn’t unsportsmanlike and he got a roughing and a 2nd minor for roughing in the with coyle.
