Post-Game Talk: Game 68 - Krug wins it in OT - BRUINS 2 Sunrise 1 F/OT

[Bruinaura]

Our feed on NHL app ends immediately after the game, what are they saying? I still don’t think it was a “blown” call. It was enough of a follow through from the play on the puck that reducing it to a minor was appropriate. Penalty, yes. Major? No. Obvious cheap shot like so many here are calling it? Also no.

Well, the bright side is that it ended up going to overtime and hurting Toronto instead of being a blowout with multiple goals on a major power play

It’s like blizzaro world. When I saw it live, I thought it warranted a minor, but after seeing the replay, I thought double minor at the least.

What could the refs have seen on replay that made them think the opposite?

To answer your Q, The difference here is he was making a play on the puck. Usually a hit to the head comes on a body check. I won’t be surprised if the league gives him a one game suspension. It could go either way.

Elbow resulting in injury to head/face "must" be called a major penalty.

And it wasn't fixed at the deadline either. Kase is not a top 6 forward, seen nothing in his game to this point that tells me otherwise

I do like Kase but the Bruins again failed to resolve the 2nd line winger issue.

If you don't have sick days, like millions don't, just call your bank and explain your problem. I'm sure they will give you a break.

What about the 2nd line center? Does he share any blame?

Also, its a blind hit. His back is to Carlo. Yes, he checked to see where Carlo was. But he wasn't looking at him when he threw the elbow. Howe, Messier, Cashman like.

Possibly although I still think his best chance to succeed is with Debrusk and a legitimate 2nd line winger, with Coyle having Ritchie/Kase/Bjork.

Agreed , should drop him to 3rd line, even if for no other reason than to get him going.

Nesn was saying the rule book says that a major must be given for an elbow with contact to the head causing injury.
Interesting....

I don't know why Dadanov is still walking I really don't.

Indeed - and the rulebook does.

 

[neelynugs]

those last 10-15 games of the season always f*** you with injuries. hope carlo is ok.

 

[BTO]

Dadonov's stick breaking was perfect hockey karma. f*** him, f*** his face. Big W!

Would have been better karma if it was his face breaking.
I'm sick and f*****g tired of these constant head shots to Bruins. You're 9 points in first place - F*****g do something about it!

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Some of these games down the stretch will be kind of ho hum . Boring . Not a whole lot to play for .

 

[gvkmedia]

Carlo got hit in the head. He’s hurt. Was is 100% intentional? I don’t think so. Carlo ducted in their pretty low trying to retrieve the puck.

I hope he is okay but I’m good with the call - even after several looks at it.

 

[BAD BOY]

They play them again.

 

[BTO]

They play them again.

True. But what are you, Klingon?
