BRUINS GDT GAME 60 - BRUINS find their way to San Jose - Part II

[Sheppy]

I thought the definition of a penalty shot was that the player had to be in free and clear?

Two B’s players were within two feet of him.

I thought he was clearly in front of both of them.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

They’ve been awful tonight in terms of setting it up

You aren’t wrong.

But also...it’s statistically a dynamite PP. And this team would be in the basement without it. So...

 

[Cam14b]

I’d rather the Bruins try and get a top d-man. These faster teams are exposing the bruins slow blue line.

We have the skating big dman, Moore in the press box....

 

[Bruinator]

So can someone explain why a penalty shot was awarded?

Rule 145.3 When the Maple Leafs are within one point of the Boston Bruins penalty shots will be awarded to the opposition on every opportunity possible.
It's right after rule 145.2 When the Maple Leafs are within one point of the Boston Bruins, Pucks must cross the goal line by at least two or three inches before being awarded a goal for the Bruins.

Rask is pretty bad tonight

He was due to have a bad game and this is one of them. At least the Bruins goals have been things of beauties

 

[rocketdan9]

Brad Marchand also having a very poor game

He cant try to be creative on a night like this

 

[Alicat]

The hot takes in here are just as bad as the refs

 

[Widdlez]

If thats a penalty shot the refs have legit been calling it wrong for the entirety of my time watching hockey.

 

[JRull86]

Also, I typically agree with what Jaffe says, but he's wrong regarding them awarding a penalty shot there.

Is he hooked? Yes he is. Should it have been a penalty? Yes. But a penalty shot? I dunno about that. He's not on a breakaway, not a totally clear lane to the net, and it doesn't prevent him from a scoring chance. He still makes two moves and get it by Rask.

If that's the impedious for a penalty shot, Marchand should have two a game.

 

[LouisSleigher]

Marchand's stick work was minor and hardly impeded Couture. Astonishing to award a penalty shot there.

So can someone explain why a penalty shot was awarded?

because it's the Bruins???

I agree but I’m pretty sure the reference is tonight only.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bet you John Moore shakes his head sitting watching that .He would have stopped that 1 on 1 dead in the tracks.

 

[Zillah]

The 30 second PP coming up scares me

Maybe

If not hooked...the puck may have trickled through

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Rule 24 – Penalty Shot
24.1 Penalty Shot – A penalty shot is designed to restore a scoring opportunity which was lost as a result of a foul being committed by the offending team, based on the parameters set out in these rules.

From the NHL rulebook. Did they really determine that Couture was denied a scoring opportunity?

 

[Kazcram]

bergy high sticked gets called and we stil have the lead . I know its sounding like a broken record but refs are really f***ing us tonight . Starting with the no goal call

 

[Absurdity]

Bruins need to wake up and take it in the 3rd.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Bruins problem is being satisfied with 2 goal lead. Just strolling along ...scared to give up goals

Instead of attacking

Cassidy never learns

they had a 3-0 lead.
that late goal gave sj all the momentum. its been all them since.

 

[sarge88]

Never in my life have I seen a penalty shot called like that either.

They’re just so horrifically inept, it’s maddening!

Thy could most diffidently use a shut-down d-man on the left-side. Their more than OK with Carlo and McAvoy on the right but that left side could use some help Chara's old and slow an is easily exposed Krug battles but is a defensive liability and Grizz maybe their best on the left side because of his quickness and retrieval skills but they need help in the top 4. Its gets over looked as a need because of their team defensive system covers it up but it wont come playoff time when the pace and intensity picks up big time.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I thought he was clearly in front of both of them.

Not seeing it.

Letter of the law? Maybe, but I don’t recall ever seeing a PS called with two players in that close proximity to the shooter.

Penalty? Absolutely.

Penalty shot? No. Particularly with the way the rest of the game has been officiated.

 

[HumBucker]

so are we ok giving krug 6 mil on next deal cause im not . Not for what he brings

If you're in a position to give out $6mill, you can give it to me.

 

[Trizz617]

The B's are gonna win this game! Just gotta tighten up the D and score. That.Is.All.
