No kidding. That flop to draw the “interference” call on HL27 was egregious.
its becoming a more common practice around the league. As a big soccer fan, Bettman needs to do something, and quickly.

PK problems, yes. That tying goal for the Blues was horrible. Shot from the center of the blue line, the only player between him and Swayman was the Blues player right at the top of the crease. Lohrei standing a couple feet away apparently thinking about post game beers.
Too many men on the ice is never the coach's fault. Grapes said that to spare his players. Its not like there is a starting gate on the bench and the coach press a button to open it.
Blame Bill Barber.

Watched this morning on DVR.
Good to see them bank two points and salvage the trip.
It’s going to be a slog with this team. As @Fenway has said, they are most likely going to be passed by Florida and end up finishing second or third in the division.
They will be able to get by during the regular season when Pastrnak, Marchand, and McAvoy chipping on the scoreboard.
They do not have the secondary scoring to compete in the playoffs.
Still, as Felger would say, at least we get a hockey season.

Shades of Belichick referring to “Tom’s age and contract situation” when drafting Garoppolo, and that lighting a fire under Brady’s ass.
I like Ullmark a lot, and that signing worked out very well, but it is time for this to become Swayman‘s team.

Not worried at all. Good for JS for AllStar selection and playing well enough to have a chance to fire one back (arbitration sucks).
Beyond that? Total non story in my book. He‘s just leveraging position and venting a sting, as he should given his results.

Today I learned Montgomery doesn't like to tweak things. I think my alternate universe theory is starting to gain traction.

They already met about it years back and the solution was when in doubt call them both. They figured this would both crack down on the infractions and also the embellishments, while also hopefully making the embellisher "feel shame" and stop doing it. It hasn't worked, like many rules, because it hasn't been enforced.

It'll all balance out ... Sway will just take the money Jake is leaving on the table

Pastrnaks lazy turnover and then borderline trip right afterwards was not something I expected to see. He’s been dragging ass in OT lately and that just seemed more of the same.
Luckily the refs didn’t make a call and McAvoy scored right after to cover for him this time

A most satisfying win to end the night; still can't wipe out the bad memories of 2019. Know Freddy wanted to pot one in his hometown but thought everyone wanted too as well. They all had good jump and a desire to win. Seems like Freddy got a lot of minutes, including OT. Initially thought Monty gave him minutes because it was in St. Louis; but maybe not, since his priority is on winning. Good stretch of games coming up, so hope the boys get some good home cooking and rest.

Exactly. I remember when they started with a few embellishment calls a few years back.
Needs to be amped up significantly. This year there is a real uptick. I can list off at least 4 clear instances in games I’ve seen over the last 10 days. Definitely needs a clear response from the League before it becomes “eh, players always try to milk calls”.

Didn't they tray that for a few shifts in October or am I getting old?
Soccer on Ice!
It’s maddening to me that I can’t buy a Bruins centennial away jersey with the player of my choice

Just listening to Marshy post game interview sounds like he has a cold or maybe getting over one.
Also Steen is a career Ahler I don't see much he brings to this team.
And last Lohrei has to learn how to take the body and quit reaching for the puck for a stick check.

In a perfect world they sign Sway long term at 5-6 and re-sign Ullmark for the same aav and keep what works. But who knows if that’s in the cards

When I saw Lohrei play in college he basically did whatever he wanted. One game I saw him behind the opposing net very late in a tie game. He was so good offensively they just let him go.
The problem is that moving to play defense later in is career and still being allowed to roam to create offense he didn't seem to be pushed on the finer points of defense as he is now.
Being able to fine tune his defense without hurting his offensive DNA will be a challenge, but I think what he offers will help the team even if he never turns into Carlo defensively.

Why did I think it was a gut punch? Of course they are going to sign him long term. And I have no doubt he wants to be here. Maybe it won’t be a discount but who cares. He’s one of the best in the league right now. He deserves it.
That was one of the weaker interference calls you'll see all year. Reminded me of a college hoops blocking foul where the offensive player drives into the defender to try and get a call.
It's nothing more or less than what being a true fan is and what the board is all about.
Some of the high and mighty know it alls are pretty entertaining as well with lecturing posters on their reactions and comments during games as if they know any better. They THINK they do but in reality we are all just sitting watching and reacting.
I love it and hope it never changes, if it did Im gone
Solide win great effort...but the 4th line s not enough good for nhl, maybe Beecher if he wake up and play physical banger type of hockey but in other way Bruins need a 4th line generate energy physical hard nose identity...
I had that problem years ago with one of the winter classic jerseys, finally went rogue to an "international" site.
