Major effort by the Bs. I liked the lines going into the game, and liked them even more after the game. Bruce did the best he could with a crap situation. Heinen looked great. Donato looked great. Backes was flatout impressive. Krejci killed it out there. Whole team gave it everything they had.
Up 6-2 having your young superstar just back from concussion getting hit like that well after the puck is gone is just plain maddening. There was no doubt that was an intent to give Charlie another concussion. This league is so full of crap when it says it wants to protect its players. Been turning a blind eye selectively all season and before this season. Truly beyond sick of this shit. Love this sport and team but getting to the point of not giving a shit about a league that is run like a damn carnival and gong show. There is no way reffing should be this bad. None. And there is no way DoPS should be as bad as it is. I say it every year, but the Bs brass/coach need to start publicly reaming the refs and DoPS. Some people say they shouldn't do it because the league might take it out on the Bs. Really? As if they aren't for whatever reason doing that already. Babcock has no problem working the refs every minute of every game. Funny how it seems to work for him.
