BRUINS GDT SCF GAME 5 - St. Louis (2) @ BRUINS (2) - Second Period

[Mr Cartmenez]

Top six needs to start scoring ES. Lots of other storylines and issues but you need your best forwards to score 5 on 5.

That's it, we can bitch about the refs all we want, but we need to take matters into our own hands 5on5. We cannot rely on 5-6 PPs every game. It's a bad look.

 

[Cronuss]

It is amazing that the Bruins comtinue to get called for marginal bullshit while the Blues are still running around trying the end peoples careers with headshots freely.

I dont even know what to think or say at this point. At least it is consistent.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

It's pretty hilarious that when the Bruins played the heavy, physical game they would get 50% more penalties than their opponents. The Blues do it — and do it MUCH dirtier — and get away with EVERYTHING.

Exactly!

But hey, the league needs a cinderella story right?

 

[Midship]

I think the Buins are clearly the better team when at their best, but it doesnt feel like the outcome is in the hands of the players. This feels like the NBA more so than any other time as a hockey fan. Infractions every trip down the ice, just a matter of what they feel like calling and it completely dictates the flow of the game.

Hey NHL you suck

 

[Memokerobi]

This is f***ing ridiculous. It could have easily been a Gryz like situation. One would have guessed the NHL would have learned their lesson. Oh well..

 

[Scruffy]

Massive rebounds too.

Yup. Boys gotta keep their legs moving and get to those rebounds.

 

[Sevren]

TOI

7:56 Krug
6:22 Carlo
6:00 McAvoy
5:55 Chara
5:27 Moore
3:55 Clifton
2:55 Kampfer​

It's apparent there is no home ice advantage tonight. Bs are going to have to rise up and overcome two squads tonight. So far I like what the Bs are bringing. Plenty of chances, just no reward. Tuukka didn't have many saves, but boy were some of them big.

 

[sooshii]

How's everyone doing? I think the B's score 2 in the second. They are working hard.

Did you hear the big cheer for Z?

Sure did! Good job you guys!

 

[Smitty93]

Focusing on the positives, I like how there was a clear directive to shoot more. There's been too much making an extra pass through the first 4 games.

 

[NeelyOrr]

In a survey done years ago statistics showed that teams wearing black uniforms get penalized more than teams wearing non-black uniforms. The survey was directed at the NFL and the NHL.

 

[GoBs]

Think that head shot will be reviewed?
Ref looking right at it

 

[TP]

I'm scared!!

 

[catsmasher]

Getting killed on the dot. Otherwise controlling the play. Tuukka has saved our bacon

 

[Bruinaura]

Good heavens lol

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Binnington is giving up rebounds all over the place. Only a matter of time until Nordstrom buries one.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Do refs review their screw-ups at intermission? Because that head shot was a HUUUUGE miss.

Should've been a 5-minute major.

Not by the way the rule was written. Just 2. But an embarrassing miss by the stripes.

In the NHL it's just whichever team has a jersey with a spoked B on it. White or black, no difference.

Should be, but I doubt it.

DoPS took their pound of flesh already

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I really don’t want to hate this Blues team.

But I’m f***ing hating them.

Honestly I think it’s more to do with the league actually adjusting how they officiate these games after Berube’s tears. Never seen anything like this. Subtle as an ice auger in the ass.

 

[LouJersey]

All the goalie bs we’ve seen this series and they call that Marchand one.

 

[GordonHowe]

Good period. Don’t feel too hot about the score however.

They are going to have to play the game of their lives to win tonight. That doesn't mean pretty goals. It means all out team defense in the face of a bruising, head-hunting team that will, indeed, seek to injure. The Blues physicality is their greatest strength in this series.

The Bruins cannot afford to allow STL easy & lengthy access to their D zone. It looked fairly good in session one, compared to the nightmare of G2 & 4.

 

[Alicat]

And no mention by Jones or Milbury at intermission....

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Binnington is giving up rebounds all over the place. Only a matter of time until Nordstrom buries one.

If Pastrnak moved his ass he could have potentially gotten to at least 2 of those juicy rebounds.
