Glad we took a point out of it, don’t like how OT ended, though.

This place is so incredibly bad for that.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

At least they got a point,Bruins big guns just didn’t have it tonight, it was good to see the lesser light step up .

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I think you’re nuts if you’re ref crying.

How I feel about most losses.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Ice, officials, Chicago were all repulsive.

Three calls were blown - both roughings and the charge on Pastrnak. Plenty was let go which was fine. Those three calls were egregious.

The determination of this team to earn the point was incredible. That is something the NHL cannot take away.

There has to be something to be done with this ice midseason. It is severely impacting the top scorers and now the PP and possibly costing the team points and goals.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

He had Toews beat if he just attempted to fight through it instead of collapsing to the ice.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

It doesn’t matter at all but I’m sad to see Pasta falling off the 50 in 50 pace.

 

[neelynugs]

great point. crap ending. toews has reached eric staal levels of annoying.
needs a few good face punches.

also if it's not totally clear that every team's game plan is to run pastrnak
all night, well i'm not sure what to tell ya. when john moore has to come
to his aid, that's a bit of an issue.

 

[trenton1]

The only contact Toews made was with the stick. Soft contact, but illegal contact, IMO. I was expecting them to both go to the box, actually.

 

[Over the volcano]

Funny how amazing and horrible young players can be (Pasta and McAvoy tonight).

 

[PB37]

Contact or no contact, Pasta always slips and falls in every game I've ever watched him play. It's part of his drunken master style... he's not a traditional skater and that style serves him well most of the time. Sometimes it makes him look silly. Shit happens. Nice comeback!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Very enlightening.

I am with you on the ice.

The lack of urgency for years to do anything about this (and make any excuse possible to avoid it) is an embarrassment.

 

[Oates2Neely]

You can’t use your stick to stop a players momentum who is zipping by you. Bottom line. You play the body, or you go for the puck. Rules suggest you can’t stop the player with your stick.

 

[missingchicklet]

Hawks were the better team for more minutes tonight. Bs were fortunate to come out with a point. I guess they have gotten used to being able to come back late in games. Not a fan of the recent lines. Hopefully some things will change next game. Getting Bergy back will be a huge help in that regard. All in all, still very proud of the way the Bs have been racking up points. Kind of hard to complain when the team is blowing away the rest of the division.

 

[rfournier103]

Oh, loser point...

I feel like I should love you more, but I don’t. When we’re together, I know I should feel something more, but alas, I don’t. There’s a buildup, and then a letdown. It’s like being “friend-zoned.”

I don’t think we should see each other anymore, loser point. I need more. I’m just not satisfied. I need TWO points.

It’s not me. It’s you.

 

[arider1990]

He had Toews beat if he just attempted to fight through it instead of collapsing to the ice.

I said it in the game thread but his skate and Toews collided which is why he went down.

 

[Maine Fan]

Can't win them all.

 

[RoccoF14]

Well said. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good.

With those two, it’s WAAAAY more good than bad though.

 

[Over the volcano]

Can you make one from 4ish seconds earlier when he was hooked away from the puck?

 

[BAD BOY]

Pasta took a dive. It’s ok. Take the point. Just a suck ending.

 

[Bruinaura]

Got a point, but they could and should have beaten this team in regulation if they played with the same urgency in the first 40 minutes instead of the last 20.

I still hate Chicago.

Colorado up next. Hope Bergeron is good to go but I bet they hold him out another game.
