Well it kinda comes off that your upset that the Hurricanes that you said wear down teams in 3rd didn't in this game. That is Hockey, just like most sports. Yet this isn't the place to root against the Bruins. |

Bruins got 2 PP goals handed to them in the 3rd period when there were no penalties that were deserved. |

Someone sounds like a Canes fan! I may be on my 27th year of living here (Raleigh) but still Bruins all the way (spent my first 23 years in New England - it stuck!) - just not a fan of the Canes for various reasons. Great win for the Bs - nice to see a team try hard and succeed (unlike the Celtics, who were an abomination this year considering the talent they had)

I do think hockey is the flukiest of all the major sports. There is rarely consistent dominance, which made the Red Wings Spurs-Esque run so interesting.
All that said, it would seem Boston has the deepest, most talented team left in Lord Stanley’s playoffs. I totally understand Jimed’s feelings though, as last year it seemed like Boston had a great season going until a host of bad calls and non calls went against them

Bruins got 2 PP goals handed to them in the 3rd period when there were no penalties that were deserved. Here’s the reality in the officiating. It was bad all night and pretty ticky tack. It also, isn’t why the Bruins won. Jordan Stalls boarding penalty, which led to the tying goal was absolutely a penalty not even a question about it. The Hamilton roughing penalty was definitely questionable but so was the Kuraly roughing penalty in the first on which the Canes scored. In the playoffs, neither should be penalties. Thats a goal for each team. The second Hamilton penalty was a penalty and on top of it, it was a bitch play by Dougie. It’s basically, an unwritten rule of hockey that the 3rd guy in goes for the puck; he doesn’t lay out a defenseless player, especially one who isn’t on the puck. Yes, at that point the puck was away from Backes. The fact is, Hamilton is soft and that’s why he got both penalties. He’s a wuss so he cowered up and stick an elbow to Nordstrom’s head (again I wouldn’t have called this or Kuraly’s) but then the Backes is because he will only hit a guy who’s not looking for it. The missed a blatant too many men on the ice penalty in the second period at a time when the Bruins were under fire and really could have used it. Trying to blame that game on refs fixing it is pretty laughable to be honest. |

I've watched the Hamilton roughing over and over. Agree it's not a penalty. However, if he'd just been willing to take the hit (which would have been fairly minimal) he never would've been in the situation for the refs to make a bad call.

It shouldn’t be a penalty in the Eastern Conference finals but by letter of the law it’s a penalty. The roughing on Kuraly in the first was very weak as well. Since when is a glove to the face a penalty in the Hockey playoffs? But yes, by letter of the law it was one. |

I won't be talking much more here, but you left out the same ticky tack penalties committed by the Bruins that were not called when they were getting 4 straight power plays in about 8 minutes of game time from the end of the 2nd period in a 2-1 game. I'm of a very strong opinion that the best team proves it's the best team at even strength and power plays just make it so that doesn't always happen. I cannot stand it no matter who the penalties are called on. Let them play.
It's the equivalent of calling constant touch fouls in the last minute of an NBA playoff game.

I agree they called a lousy game. Just don’t tell me the fix was in. The Bruins have been on the opposite end of bad calls and still won games. I forget what the penalty was at the end of second but 2 of the 3 on the Canes in the 3rd were their fault... can’t blame the refs for making bad plays and getting called for it. |

If your not a Bruins fan then just go find a site that fits your needs, pretty simple. This is a pro Boston sports fan sight if that doesn't fit your needs then find a sight that does, pretty simple I would think.

It's not fixed, they just ruined a good game, which goes back to my point that everyone ridiculed me for. Usually the teams that get more calls win. That’s fine, but the refs were too involved since the first penalty on the Bruins that gave Carolina their first goal and swung the early momentum that Boston had. Both teams had one even strength goal thru 2 and the Bs only scored 2 PP goals on the game. It’s not like the Canes were robbed. If you want to say the refs sucked all around, I’d agree with you. Tuuka stood on his head in the 2nd. I knew once that second period ended as a one goal game the Bruins were going to win because I’ve watched them all playoffs. They were going to find a way. The Canes might win this series but if they do it’s because they get better on special teams and they need to. Hockey isn’t just 5 on 5; there will be penalties and you can’t suck on the power play and be not great on the Penalty Kill and win a Stanley Cup. |

We are all friendly or should be. I’m with him that the refs sucked last night but I just disagree on how it affected the outcome or that it was slanted in one direction. |

The roughing penalty on Kuraly in the 1st falls into the same category. He reacted to a check that was aimed at his head but not called so he goes off and the Canes scored their first goal, it was a bad call. It happens get over it.

I hate stupid penalty calls in the playoffs and would prefer 0. Please note that I'm not just being a homer. I just want to see the teams play even strength. I don't want to see 4 straight power plays in 8 minutes either. Also note that you've put yourself in the position to not complain about it if the Canes get 4 power plays in the 3rd period to win a different game while I will still be complaining about it. |

In regards to no penalty calls and your premise that they play like women now. I have been a ref and it is very important to not let games get out of control as the hits and cheapshots can quickly escalate to the point of major injuries. You remarked that you have played also so you should know exactly what I am talking about. It can become dangerous out there given that they have sticks in their hands and the speed of the game is such that collisions can be more violent than any other sport. DeBrusk just got crosschecked in the face over throwing a good hard check and an idiot Leafs player losing it for a second in the first round. I played football, rugby and hockey and can tell you that hockey was the sport that I was most likely to lose my mind and do something to hurt someone in retaliation for what I perceived was a cheapshot. I was always a willing enforcer for my teammates also, even in my late 30's when I was working in banking by day and got thrown out of a league at night for retaliation leading to a bench clearer. LOL, what a dummy but I just get caught up in the moment while playing. Lastly, I like the ebbs and flows of a game that occur with penalties. Having a man advantage or down one creates opportunities within the game that create excitement IMO. It also gives the players chances to really show how much talent is out there with the puck movement, the cycling, elite passing and the defense also gets to show more skill and discipline. GO B's!!! |
