3/11/18 -- Bruins at Blackhawks

[PedroSpecialK]

dripping blood, 4 min, shit

 

[fenwaypaul]

That Chicago scoring play was set up by a fucking hand pass!

 

[The Napkin]

Looked a little like a missed trip behind the other net led to all that too. Shit.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Holy shit, that's Bobby Hull???

I mean he is almost 80 years old.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Like 4 or 5 Hawks took a dive that sequence to draw a call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fuck, that will go into OT, if it gets there.

 

[Maximus]

Dobby's been great, now we need a penalty kill without Big Z.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Looked a little like a missed trip behind the other net led to all that too. Shit.

And Saad holding Chara's stick.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fuck

 

[TSC]

mother FUCK

 

[fenwaypaul]

I mean he is almost 80 years old.

I know, but still.... On the other hand, Tony Esposito looks pretty good.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

It feels like it’s good they scored early, to give us as much time to even up as possible

 

[Maximus]

Shit, tough kill against elite players and more PP time for the Hawks.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Feels like they’ve taken a bunch of 4 minute penalties lately and given up a goal right away every time.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Oh well. That sucks

 

[Maximus]

Dagger

 

[fenwaypaul]

Shit. That should do it.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Fuckin hell, sucks to waste an outstanding effort by Khudobin

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Welp...

 

[Salem's Lot]

This is exactly why I hate the idea of playing Toronto in the first round. It's tough enough to win in the playoffs and it's really tough when you gotta beat the refs too.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

The moral of the story the last couple days is that late double minors usually make you lose.

 

[NYCSox]

That double minor was properly called but one or two of those earlier stick fouls on the Hawks would have been nice to have.

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is exactly why I hate the idea of playing Toronto in the first round. It's tough enough to win in the playoffs and it's really tough when you gotta beat the refs too.

I mean Chara smacked him in the face.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Near impossible to win a game under these circumstances, b2b on the road with so many guys out and being put on their back foot immediately with three straight bullshit calls to open the game.

Fuck that though, still almost got a point out of it.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Deserved better. Get healthy

 

[Maximus]

Fuckin hell, sucks to waste an outstanding effort by Khudobin

Yep. Good effort but too many of our skill players out today.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I mean Chara smacked him in the face.

Yeah but if they call the obvious cross check up the other end it never happens.

 

[catomatic]

Yeah but if they call the obvious cross check up the other end it never happens.

Or the nutshot to Krug...

 

[The Napkin]

Losing sucks

 

[kenneycb]

Or the nutshot to Krug...

That wasn’t a penalty. Just an unfortunate follow through.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yeah but if they call the obvious cross check up the other end it never happens.

Ah, was that behind the net, causing the domino effect? I saw that, but never saw why it happened.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Losing sucks

Nice run.

 

[catomatic]

That wasn’t a penalty. Just an unfortunate follow through.

Well, technically, the last two critical highsticking calls on Bruins have come on follow-throughs of attempted clears—both on the end wall behind the net. Chara today and I forget who on the previous one. But follow-throughs are supposed to be kind of exempt. Drawing blood forces their hand but these guys have so much ripe scar tissue ready to leak it's not a great barometer of injury...

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

The last 5 mins of the game were not Chara's finest hour. Really sucks to waste such a performance from Dobby.
