Post-Game Talk: GAME 5 - St. Louis 2 BRUINS 1 - Blues lead series 3-2

[MarchysNoseKnows]

what is most dissappointing is :
1) the missed head check by barbashev against johannson
2) the missed head check by sanford on krug
3) the missed slew foot by bozak on acciari
4) i think this is the one no one talks about : the wrap around goal which was reviewed looked very much like a goal. All angles i have seen
krejci stick was in the net. Biddington's pads were behind the goal line the puck sitting on krejci's stick which was behind the goal line.
The puck looked like it was in the net. !

Don't forget Perron crosschecking Krug in the back right in front of the referee as well.

Don't waste your time on that. Report.

But it felt good to tell him that haha

I went ballistic when I saw this. A few more inches forward and we could have seen another Bergy situation.

 

[Alicat]

Accusing Acciari of diving really pisses me off.

He's not that kind of player period.

Coyle tripped on first PP. Puck cleared. Long list the last two games.

If only I could like this more.

Yet somehow a good percentage of fans believe he tried to sell it.

Imagine being the type of person that has watched their teams get stomped by Boston teams time and time gain and the only revenge you can come up with is throwing hot takes in a PGDT?

If the NHL doesn't haul those two refs up on the carpet and fire both they are as Mickey Mouse as Disney. This display of reffing was a total embarrassment. worst reffing in history of the game.If this is the way the NHL is operating they better fire Basket Ball Bettman. Bruin players sitting out with concussions and they continue with amateur referees. It almost seems obvious the fix is in since Berube cried to the league.

Just awhile back Bettman said he wouldn’t ban all head shots in the NHL I guess we see why he is obviously a Blues fan.

When Bettman said that he wouldn’t ban head shots,because it would stop hitting in the game ,I guess we see the real reason why, he is obviously a Blue’s fan

Don't waste your time on that. Report.

Oh i did. Still there. Head scratcher

And now i can’t edit the post. Trying to say it’s early in a work day so there’s that too

There is zero chance anyone actually believes it.

The officiating was just embarrassingly bad last night. Whether you’re a Bruins, Blues, or neutral fan if you can’t admit that you shouldn’t be watching hockey.

Defensive zone penalty that leads to a turnover and immediate game winning goal? These officials should never work again. This is a Stanley cup game

 

[BruinFanSam]

Here is the thing. I know this "they are not calling dirty hits" rhetoric is legitimate, and that Acciari non-call was egregious and completely BS, but we aren't scoring 5v5. period. end of story. We aren't playing good hockey right now.

It starts with our complete inability to clear and transition the puck.

This pic shows exactly how we all feel right now. Thank you Cam Neely.

How can the rest of the GM's in the league watch this SCF and feel good about the so called "new direction" of the NHL with its emphasis on speed and skill? If the league allows the clutching/grabbing stuff to go uncalled as the rounds progress, most teams need to change their rosters. The PMD and small forwards are not needed, and are in fact a liability.
Just imagine how many penalties would have been called if the officials used the regular season standards. Does anyone believe the Blues would get the same favorable treatment if they were playing the Leafs or the Habs?

 

[GloryDaze4877]

He played 8 total minutes man.

Enough with the games.

What games?

He’s not on the PP or the PK and Cassidy was clearly trying to force feed the B’s Top forwards more time (Pasta, Marchand 22+ minutes, Bergy and DK 20+). I don’t have an issue with him doing it.

That said, it didn’t work. Marchand and Pasta played almost 3 times as many minutes and still were ass. Krejci played more than twice as many minutes and did nothing. Ended up with the same number of shots as 43 (one). DeBrusk played 5 minutes more and was awful.

All of those top 6 guys getting tons of minutes and accomplishing zero...and your biggest problem was with Heinen? If anything, based on his play in other games, he should be getting more time, not less.

The 7 D set up obviously didn’t help the forwards in any way. I would definitely not do that again in Game 6.

Barbashev Special

Definition - an excuse me high hit in an unsuspecting very good player at moderate speed disguised as an accident

[Alicat]

Yup

Anyone who has ever played knows that its impossible to dive like that and time it perfectly with a slewfoot attempt.

The only way the bruins are going to win is by playing the way the blues are with a borderline attempt to injure. Blues have been trying to take players out all series and have. Chara was an accident obviously but Griz was intentional and so wasnt last night.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Replace Backes' 8 Minutes with Heinen's and it would've made little difference.

Getting rid of one anchor for a 7th defenseman and then playing one of the supposed "better" players for 8 minutes in a tight game sounds to me Cassidy quite possibly overcoached himself.

Or he didn't trust Heinen at all after numerous ****ups in the first period.

There were no numerous f*** ups in the 1st period. Heinen had 6 shifts for 3:35. Would have been really, really hard to screw up multiple times in such a short span

Quit before the hole gets deeper.

#2 isn't valid.

Holy f***

 

[GloryDaze4877]

It was close, and not for a lack of trying. It appeared that Krug turned away and Sanford only grazed him. Doesn’t change the fact that it was an attempted hit to the head...again.
