Pretty sure McAvoy took a stick to the face about a minute before that call. Would be nice to get home cooking for fucking once

I mean, it was a legit penalty. But there were at least 10 almost identically legit penalties that weren’t called since the 3rd. That’s beyond frustrating.
Agreed. The fact that this game ended on a power play is damn shame after the shit they let go earlier.

Ya, they have to call that one when the trip resulted in a loose puck in front of net ....

The fact that they didn’t call the clear hook on the first power play to even it up was ridiculous.. the two calls seemed awfully ticky tack with everything else that was going on

It was pointless for Bergeron to have his stick anywhere near Jones’ feet on that. He got his back foot and Jones went down right in front of his own net. Ref has to call that.
They also had about 10 fucking things that they should’ve went on the power play for before that. They lost because of officiating.

I don’t give a fuck about the refs. Columbus has 5 goals and 4 of them should never have fucking happened. Clean it the fuck up. This is going back to the Leafs series except worse because the opponent isn’t breathing down their neck, they’re just casually tossing the puck away.

Foligno should have ended this one a minute in to OT1 if he just held it a tick longer after yet another dumb turnover.

Too many fucking drop passes and cutesy bullshit.

Welp sat out the game thread during the win streak.
Going to be tough to win this series if 37/63/x continue to be their worst line.

Just bad penalties. Yeah other shit could have been called but you can't risk a stick in the skates like that when there is no gain.

The guy was clearly tripped in front of his own net resulting in a loose puck...maybe ticky tacky in the neutral zone..but ref had to call that one...

How the fuck do you not call a hook when Bergeron has a clear scoring chance in the first OT. That’s been a fucking penalty all year.

I don't know about that. Refs missed Charlie's high stick about 30 seconds before the Bergy trip

Weak clearing attempt from Chara, Coyle's disastrous "pass", DeBrusk not shooting. Change any of those three and the B's win.

They lost because they played 84 minutes of hockey and only managed 31 shots on goal, 20 scoring chances and 7 high danger. Piss poor.

No they didn’t. Give me a fucking break. They lost because their best players haven’t been their best players.

They gave this game away. This series was there for the taking and they punted it away. It’s far from over but they squandered a golden opportunity tonight.

Tuukka was outstanding once again.

And it still should have been good enough. Don’t know what the fuck is wrong with the top players but Kuraly and Coyle are skating circles around them.

If you're going to commit a penalty do it in the midst of some furious action and not on some hum drum play where everyone in the arena is looking at a guy they expect to simply skate out his own zone unmolested. 100% on Bergeron.

Agreed.

I don’t like the “put the whistles away” stuff because it invariably ends up with some bullshit making the difference, but Columbus has no offense the Bruins don’t give them. Tonight was an embarrassing loss and Pasta needs a night off.

Bruins played like shit. Still should have won. But, they didn’t.

Let’s get games 3 and 4 and end this nonsense.

One final thought: I've liked how Cassidy has done in these playoffs, and I "get" that he was maybe trying to get Pasta "unstuck" for the remainder of the series by giving him more shifts in the third, but it was also a factor tonight.

I’m still annoyed at the similar penalty Bergeron took against Subban so it’s probably going to take a while for me to be cool with this one, especially since it meant a loss this time.

Bergeron scores the game winner in OT if he’s not hooked, and there’s no call. I can’t get over that. If you’re going to put the whistle away put it away.
