Even in game threads I usually fall on the side of “people need to settle down about the refs”...but these refs really fucking suck
OK, but I don’t think we need to be so literal. I doubt anyone seriously thinks the league is fixing this series, but rather it’s another way of dumping on the shit officiating.QFT. People need to calm the fuck down. We are winning this. Pissed Tuukka will lead us.
I'd rather they not get indignant and get pissed instead and win this fucking thing.Bruce needs to be all over these refs. My God
Joe Torre is the head of NHL officiating.is there a reason the NHL doesn't want us to win? sure feels that way so far.
Probably.Question for those who know the rule. What would have happened if Rask just popped his mask off when his blade came off? 2 minute delay of game?
Likely, yeah. The Bruins may have needed possession, even in that scenario.Question for those who know the rules. What would have happened if Rask just popped his mask off when his blade came off? 2 minute delay of game?
I looked it up, and you appear to be right.missed what? why would the whistle blow there? is it a rule? Ive never heard of it if it was.
that was pretty goodI wonder when Patrick Sharp's reservation at Dorsia is.

Haha. This is good.I wonder when Patrick Sharp's reservation at Dorsia is.
Yeah, that is a much better summary of my issues with it. Be consistently bad.I don't care about bad officiating, I care about inconsistent officiating. If you're going to call that cross check on Pasta, and literally take a goal off the board, or the "interference" by DeBrusk, leading to another goal for Tampa, you have to call the interference on Nash and the trip on Marchand. That's the point here.
The better course of action would have been to knock the goal off the mooring. Still get a penalty but certainly get a whistle.Likely, yeah. The Bruins may have needed possession, even in that scenario.
This is where I am on this.I don't care about bad officiating, I care about inconsistent officiating.

I really like this.I wonder when Patrick Sharp's reservation at Dorsia is.
Looks like they got it wrong. They waited for Tuukka's blade to be replaced before dropping the puck.I looked it up, and you appear to be right.

Refs got it right.
I guess there is an exception for the goalie mask or we got screwed on that against Toronto?I looked it up, and you appear to be right.

Safety issue. Announcers mentioned that. Likely at officials discretion.I guess there is an exception for the goalie mask or we got screwed on that against Toronto?
