5/17- Game 2 Bruins @ Capitals

[Cotillion]

He had two guys jump on top of him...

 

[McBride11]

Oh WTF? That was dumb Brad

 

[JCizzle]

This NBC crew is an utter embarrassment

 

[ypioca]

Dude was literally kneed on.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I say it every time I foray into one of these game threads. I have no idea what a penalty is in hockey anymore, and what isn't. To be fair though, I have the same issues with what is or is not a foul in the NBA too.

 

[Myt1]

Not a penalty to come in and kneel on a guy who someone else just took down, guys.

 

[Cotillion]

if the refs allow two guys to jump on top of you after one of them drags you down... and aren't going to call it... Marchand has to do something...

 

[Dduncan6er]

Dumb by Brad. You need to be smarter there.

 

[cshea]

The Capitals are going to make sure every whistle ends in a scrum. Their one clear advantage is on the PP.

 

[Ed Hillel]

It was just stupid from Marchand. He hit him too late afterwards. Gotta let it go.

 

[locknload]

Marchand is literally the only player on either team including Wilson that gets called for that

 

[cshea]

Dumb by Brad. You need to be smarter there.

2 straight whistles a scrum ensued and he took the brunt of it. Not sure I blame him for punching back

The Capitals are going to make sure every whistle ends in a scrum. Their one clear advantage is on the PP.

This is when Bruce needs to start working the refs. Remind them of that every whistle, post game, etc.

 

[Cotillion]

Marchand is literally the only player on either team including Wilson that gets called for that

Nah... I think they will call a penalty for any nut punch (I hope) but Marchand wouldn't be going to the box alone... one of the guys that mugged him before it, and then jumped on him with their knee into his ribs maybe...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hand pass

 

[Cotillion]

If you punch the puck with your hand, is it still a hand pass?

 

[Ed Hillel]

If you punch the puck with your hand, is it still a hand pass?

Any intentional hand contact

 

[Dduncan6er]

It’s the playoffs. Take a number you play these guys at least a few more times.

 

[The Napkin]

2 nice clears by Carlo

 

[Cotillion]

Any intentional hand contact

rhetorical...

 

[LogansDad]

This is when Bruce needs to start working the refs. Remind them of that every whistle, post game, etc.

I'm convinced this will never happen. I'm also convinced that if it does it will backfire.

Because Bruins.

 

[FelixMantilla]

JFC

 

[Cotillion]

How did that get through?

 

[Salem's Lot]

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Another weak goal

 

[McBride11]

It is weird, every stoppage for the Bruins there isn't a scrum afterwards, only on the WAS end. Strange

 

[Investor 11]

That one hurts.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pull him

 

[locknload]

That has to be saved

 

[shawnrbu]

Swayman.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Oh fuck me

 

[cshea]

Nice power I in front of Rask

 

[reggiecleveland]

4 fluke goals

 

[Cotillion]

Went down too slow...

 

[Maximus]

Caps get the pucks on net idea.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They are fucking terrible tonight and just happen to have two goals against the run of play.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Tuukka has to stop that

 

[McBride11]

What the hell

 

[LogansDad]

Grz needs to keep Eller out of there.

 

[Lupe Whalewatch]

Nice power I in front of Rask

seriously. thats like an 8 man screen

 

[FelixMantilla]

Another weak goal

That's not weak, it's luck. Bad luck for us.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I’m getting sick and fucking tired of these bad bounces

 

[Salem's Lot]

Someone has to block that or let him see it.

 

[Cotillion]

That holding on that play is what got Pasta a penalty earlier...

 

[Haunted]

That looked tipped and Tuukka was screened pretty good, that was not a soft goal. Jesus people.

 

[Cotillion]

Anderson doesn't look comfortable on any of these shots... need more of them...

 

[patinorange]

Swayman.

Next game if they lose.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's not weak, it's luck. Bad luck for us.

That shot was clearly low, he should have seen that. Get down into a butterfly.

 

[The Napkin]

They pass up hits too often for my tastes

 

[Haunted]

That shot was clearly low, he should have seen that. Get down into a butterfly.

He should totally have been able to see through the two players blocking his view.

 

[IdiotKicker]

We’re getting plenty of good chances and shots. Keep peppering the old guy.
