GDT: Game #63 2/28 7PM - Arizona at BRUINS - NESN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

I actually thought that was pretty dangerous the way the dude grabbed Miller around the neck. But maybe that's just me.

It was. I was incensed that the Bs did not get a PP out of that. Chiller should have obviously got nothing and if anything the Bs should have had at minimum a 2 min PP out of that. Dude just bumrushed Chiller and took him down by his neck. Reffing is so shoddy in this league.

Boarding in open ice.

Really.

Let's see if they change it again to make it make even less sense. Too Many Men perhaps?

I can't wait too see how the NHL rules on it. Ref should of looked at the replay and have the balls to do the right thing.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Wonder how the anti-Bruin main board viewed that hit. Would take a look, but the last time I went there it was a cesspool of humanity and an encyclopedia of ignorance.

 

[Ladyfan]

Marchand can't seem to do anything right this game.

You might want to rethink this

Actually the thread on the hit is 99% saying it was clean and should not have been penalized.

4 goals. 14 shots. gotta love no clode

Backes last 7 games with Claude 0 points -7

7 + games with Cassidy 8 points +10

Best move professionally Claude ever made was signing that 5 year deal

Had he waited he'd be in the echl next year

Almost unanimously viewed as a clean hit.

Hockey is fun when you score goals, liking the Cassidy era.

 

[PB37]

Man, the Bruins have played like soft dog poop, but they are winning. I guess we'll take it, but if it wasn't for Rask, this game would not be going too well for us.

I have a friend at the game there tonight. I have no idea what seats he has as I didn't bother asking.

IMO that was not a "botched" call. The refs deliberately called it a penalty because the downed player was clearly seriously hurt. And that my friends is 100% pure bovine excrement

I was just about to post the same thing . Isn't it nice to be having fun again watching the Bruins ?

Reactionary calls have been happening for a while now.

 

[rocketdan9]

Didn't have a good feeling at the beginning of the game...Arizona started strong

but what you know Bruins score the 1st again

then things look downhill with the penalty major and Nash scores the PK goal

There is a halo around Cassidy or something.... incredible how all the breaks are for the Bruins

Yeah well that one took the ****ing cake

yup that's what it looked like to me

big fast hit that caused major damage, refs felt obligated to call something because of how scary it was looking.

 

[HumBucker]

The only thing Miller could have done to make that hit cleaner was .... not make the hit at all. And it's a hit that's allowed to be made.

He had his elbow down.
He tried to get as reasonably low as he could, but the player's head was low and forward. How low is Miller expected to go?
He even turned his shoulder a little away at the end, and made the hit more with his back/backside.
He certainly wasn't charging. He was coasting, and the player had the puck for a good 1-2 strides.

It's a tough predicament; there's only so much you can do when the player's head is low and in front.

Glad to see the thumbs up as they were wheeling him off.

 

[Aeroforce]

In the play/video you see Miller turn his hip into the opposing player will that be considered illegal/against the rules? What ever I don't see anything wrong with it but I'm sure the NHL will find fault of some sort.

Short of getting out of the way, I don't know what else Miller could do. He was committed to the hit and braced for contact.

 

[Hali33]

Feel a lot more comfortable with how they've looked in this one now that they're 4-1. Lots of slop.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

Anyway my fellow fans isn't awesome the way this team is playing. It's a nice feeling knowing that we can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Not played that great, but can't complain at 4-1

I would pay top dollar to see Pandolfo in clown make up telling jokes in his normal voice.
