Post-Game Talk: GAME 26 - For the first time in 122 MONTHS the Bruins have lost to the Coyotes

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

its the nhl.
they change the rules mid season sometimes.
my beef with the play was that swayman shouldve just passed it to forbort.
why do all that for an ozone faceoff with 13 seconds left.

Because it was icing

 

[Grasshopperking]

You really hope that moving forward they adjust to games like this and start playing more physically

 

[Gee Wally]

The replay shows the ref not even looking at Forbort

uh huh…..but as Monty stated, thats what the Bruins were told.

 

[Gee Wally]

Did the linesman think Forbort could have reached it because he thought Forbort was someone else?

I have no clue what the Linesman was thinking with his head so far up his ass.

When you’re the best team in the league and Josh brown opens the scoring on you.

There is always next year

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Agreed.

Brickley and Jack seemed to think it was icing if the puck went through the crease.

As others have said the rule was changed, and the puck going through the cease no longer negates icing. I'm not hung up on it because the Bruins simply should have handled the play better, but I'd just like some clarity on the decision.

If as I've seen said the call was based on the fact that Forbort could have reached the puck before it crossed the goal line and didn't do enough to try and reach it, I find that tough to accept. He probably could have skated a little harder, but he was never reaching that puck in time.

I'm also not sold on that as the reason. If you look at the linesman, it's precisely the point where the puck clips the crease that he waived it off. So either he mistakenly thought it touched Swayman, or he simply didn't realize that the rule has changed. Which sounds hard to believe, but this is the NHL we're talking about so it's well possible.

In other words. It was icing

Doesn't Get any easier after Vegas either. Islanders on Tuesday (at TD at least) and they've looked legit recently

The Isles are 6-4-0 in their last 10. I would say that is easier followed by LA and Columbus.

I specifically meant the Islanders game after Vegas, not the few after that but you aren't wrong, the schedule softens a bit.

 

[Bs1011]

Well I have watched Vladar and he looks pretty good. His average is 2.59 and save % of 912. Swayman is at 2.80 and .887.

You can pass if you want but the stats do not lie.

For this year Sway is in a slump look at his stats last year he was good

 

[The don godfather]

Ugly loss .

I find it hard to believe the linesman didn't know the rule.

too risky.
puck was slowing down. forbort was catching up to it. def a possibility of being waived off. just play the puck to him. 10 seconds were left.

 

[hrdpuk]

Bruins are playing at a .827 pace . Something gotta give .

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Leafs just won in OT, now a meager one point behind us in the division

 

[Bradely]

It was when I was a kid, before they even had the half circle, but don't think it is anymore.
It actually made a lot of sense with 'touch icing' back when nets were essentially locked into place with steel pipes.

Played with the red line when I was a kid.... needed to touch the puck first for icing...... played with wooded stick... without facemask so alot of thing changes!!!! LOL but currently, did not see anything about the half circle net..

Leafs have a great team. Nobody should be surprised by that. Only the people that have their hatred glasses on, would say that they aren’t. I don’t like them, but that doesn’t make them a bad team.

Didn’t say they were a bad team Bruins are going to have to keep running full speed ahead to keep the Leafs behind them at all.

Laughs have had a lot of 'great teams' over the years

 

[Almanil]

For me that was really enjoyable game, especially the second period was great to watch. I think somebody might take Vejmelka at the trade deadline he seems to have the power to steal games. We didn't play awful. The last goal could have been easily avoided by both Forbort and Swayman but well not every game can be won.

Yep. Was thinking of the rectangle nets I grew up with and the crease was just a three foot retangle in front. Touch icing could be scary when I was a teenager.

Learning to skate and playing hockey actually predates me memory. I've been playing hockey for 50 years. A few changes. lol

Sorry if this has been posted already…damn…Pats girl took that like a champ…what a thug to hit a woman who was just trying to stop others…

Vlad update:

His average is 2.81 and save % of 905.

I didn’t say you said they had a bad team. I just said nobody should be surprised they are neck and neck with the Bruins.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The linesman had a really bad game, missing both the Coyotes offside goal, fortunately the Bruins got it reversed, and not calling icing on the game winning goal. Whoever they were, hopefully we won't be seeing them again anytime soon. They cost the Bruins a minimum of 1 point and who knows that point or two could be crucial as we battle the insanely hot Maple Leafs for the all important 1st place to avoid playing TB in round 1.
