2018-19 Stanley Cup - Bruins vs Blues

[captain stone]

Am I missing something, what was wrong with that one? The Blais hit to start the offensive possession?

Yes.

 

[captain stone]

...Your team has benefitted so much from officiating over the years that you're not seeing what every NHL fan knows about the Bruins.

I don't even know where to begin...

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Yes.

Fair enough, would’ve been good had it been called or not. As it turned out glad it wasn’t called.

They swallowed the whistles last night. Like who didn’t see that coming?

They did, but I still thought it was a clean game from both teams.

 

[ViperGTS]

It’s hockey - sh*t happens. Great teams overcome it. The Bruins had a chance last night and did not.

That is exactly what the leagues want. In this instance, the NHL. This response from the fans and their compatriots in the media have carried the message well. You don’t want the players ever thinking this because that that isn’t good. The fans though, and the reporters can and should.

 

[ViperGTS]

I don't even know where to begin...

Yeah it has been the absolute polar opposite of this.

 

[bormio]

“The refs sucked” - said every losing fan base ever

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Now we are judging hockey hits in slo-mo and still photos. Worst thing ever invented.

A hit to the head is a hit to the head.

 

[bormio]

A hit to the head is a hit to the head.

I have seen the play numerous times at normal speed and does not look like a hit to the head to me.

 

[woolster22]

A hit to the head is a hit to the head.

And a gifted game is a gifted game. Unacceptable.

 

[fair catch fryar]

Agree, good hard clean hit. Felt a little bad for Thomas as he took the anger that was directed at Perron.

Congrats to your Blues. It was a good series.

 

[fair catch fryar]

Yes I did, and I saw a still frame of Thomas’ head being hit by Krug’s shoulder. If I find it, I’ll post it.

Go right ahead and post it. Sorry, but you're wrong and I'm sure they looked at it a million times from every angle in Toronto. He hit him shoulder to shoulder on initial contact.

^^^You’re missing a frame between the second and third. I have it on my computer but the file is too large to upload.

I know which frame you're talking about and it just shows Thomas' head at the same level as Krug's shoulder for a fraction of a second. The later frame clearly shows that there was little to no impact with Thomas' head.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I hope you Bruins fans respect what Ryan O'Reilly did. The guy played through cracked rib AND won the Conn Smythe...

Conn Smythe winner O'Reilly played through cracked rib

How did the refs cause the Bruins to be sloppy with the puck in their own end?

How did the refs cause the Bruins to be sloppy with the puck in their own end?

The refs were shouting insults at Bruins players throughout the game -- mostly obscene remarks about their wives/girlfriends and families.

I heard one of the refs told Bergeron his ass looked fat in those pants.

Really? Incidental contact while a massive hit finishes =/= headshot by most peoples definition. Given we're on a football forum, this shouldn't need to be explained. And now that i know whoch krug hit youre talking about, if you think that needs to be called, id love to know what you think about the interference in our defensive end that resulted in tory's helmet coming off.

Get out of here with that weak ****, that hit was no where close to the things people have been *****ing about, and was another example of the blues getting away with murder. Initiated with shoulder, heads to side=clean hit in any game.

Illigitate champion for a joke league that doesnt deserve a seat at the adult table until they get rheir **** together. Hand pass game winners, pucks out of play going for goals, stars injured by illegal play and an illigitimate champion all brought to you by NHL incompetence.

There should be no defense id the leagues actions, yet the same (typically older crowd, deference to authority well ingrained) folks keep making weak excuses putting the problem at the bruins feet. They shouldn't have to win extra games. Game 5 should have been a shutout W for Rask. That kind of bush league shenanigans is unacceptable in the regular season. To celebrate it in your storied championship is a disgrace. To defend it is simple minded and asinine. To stretch things to such great lengths to equate the krug hit to the **** the blues were pulling? Are you going senile, or are you just that desperate to ignore the obvious? Bruins got jobbed, plain and simple. It deserves to be right up there with the Black Sox for championship sport scandals.



Schenn did that multiple times every game chara had the mask on. 10x the head shot your dumb ass called krugs hit. But your right, nothing to see here, illigitimate champ to be handed an unearned trophy by a disgraced league.
