Wow what a turnaround on that shift.

Will be reviewed for zone entry though

edit: guess not. To the naked eye, Backes looked in ahead of Marchand as the PK expired

The Bruins have one legit goal this game haha. The other 3 have been gifts.

Going for the open ice hit to cost your team the game is one approach to take.

Absolutely. Piss poor performance but we’ll take it.
Eh. Huge game from Dobby. Outstanding PK. Great last 10 mins all around. Some puck luck.

Not what we’re used to, but it wasn’t all bad.

Khudobin deserved the win there. Hopefully this team quits whatever drugs they’ve been taking this weekend

I came here to ask if others thought it was clean... shoulder crept up into Marchand's chin, but it looked clean to me.

That was a frustrating, tough, gritty game that is going to lead to bruises and some ice bags afterwards. Gotta win games like this though to contend, and this team managed to just stay enough ahead, and Khudobin totally saved their ass with some fantastic saves in the 1st. This could have gotten ugly quick.

I still think Khudobin won't win the 7th man, but there have been multiple points this season when he's carried this team through a tough period, game, and week and helped this team earn POINTS.

I absolutely felt that was a clean hit, and the response by the Bruins was also completely fair. I know people that haven't played the game will come out and say things like "he left his feet!" or "he was defenseless!" and I worry hockey is trying to appease these people. Just like that "boarding" call earlier, its so fast and any twitch by an opposing player can turn a clean hit into something people think should be illegal. I really wish they'd let up on some of the tacky stuff that just happens through the flow of the game
