That was a really lazy unnecessary play.Whichever Bruin iced the puck with 0.9 seconds remaining is the blame.
Krug cost us both goals tonight.That was a really lazy unnecessary play.
That’s....a very interesting strategy. Would it make Pasta ineligible for the shootout though?If Pasta had deliberately taken a faceoff penalty then Bergy would have replaced him. That's what someone on the coaching staff should have advised.
They had a timeout, right? Use it, put Krug in to just dive on the puck.On an icing he stays in the dot though, doesn't he? I thought they made that change a few years ago because teams were having a winger go in and purposefully get kicked to waste more time to let them get their legs back.
I don’t think so. If that’s the case let the D man go in from the start and get the penalty.On an icing he stays in the dot though, doesn't he?

This is the rule:I don’t think so. If that’s the case let the D man go in from the start and get the penalty.
I imagine if the Bruins were actively trying to get a penalty, they would put their least useful shootout player at the dot to take the penalty though. I don't think that was a thought that entered their minds tonight, though.When a team commits an icing infraction, any face-off violation will not result in the center being removed. The center will be warned by the Linesman that the team has committed their first face-off violation and any subsequent violation will result in a bench minor penalty for delay of game - face-off violation being assessed.
