I'm quietly fucking furious over this—will be all night and perhaps the rest of the season. That was an atrocious pair of back to back decisions by the refs.
Consciously or not, trying to make up for the Donato goal.

The issue I have isn't any particular call, it's the imbalance. I hate when the refs decide that "this game is too important to one team to call that penalty" or stuff like that. It may not be exactly what they are thinking, but it certainly feels that way. The other part of it is them letting go absolutely anything that affects Marchand. I know why - but damn is it frustrating that a team could get screwed because the refs are trying to put the screws to one player.

Completely random question but does anyone know how the tv timeout rules work in hockey? I know there are 3 per period, first whistle that isn’t a goal, icing or a whistle during a power play under 14, under 10 and under 6.

However what happens when you get under 10 and haven’t had a commercial break yet like just happened in this third? They took their first commercial break and then came back from the break and got a whistle rather quickly on a goalie coverup but didn’t take another break. What are the rules when that happens?

This is probably thanks to NHL 94 but every single wraparound attempt, no matter how feeble, gets me out of my seat. Every single time.

Bruins struggle in OT, but to gets point against a desperate team with the amount of guys they have out is a win in and of itself.
