Kramerica Industries Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The Bruins were in the exact same situation in the first round that they're going to be in on Sunday. They've already scored seven goals in that building last week. This series is far from being over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of a hot take on my part, yes. Brodeur was very good but I'll never rate him in Roy or Hasek's class from that era. The guy won two Vezinas after that dominant mid-2000s defense broke up. I wasn’t a Brodeur fan by any means, but he’s easily top 3 all-time. While we’re here, anybody else got some goaltending hot takes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 At least if the Bruins win, now we will get a game 7 out of it. And there’s a good chance that the Cup will be won on home ice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think we all can acknowledge that there was a missed tripping call that should have went against the Blues. But let's not pretend (1) that the Bruins didn't have their chances and failed to capitalize on them, (2) that the Blues are never penalized or that the refs are blind to Blues penalties considering Boston had three powerplay opportunities, and (3) that a single missed powerplay opportunity that could have resulted in a goal somehow means that the game was robbed from the Bruins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I feel like Boston has seen like 10 championships in the past decade. I can't really feel bad for them having one call go against them in one game of the Stanley Cup Finals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, Bruins had plenty of chances to score and they just could not get it done. That's 100% on the Bruins, not the refs. But to say the refs aren't blind? There we 2 blatant hits to the head in the corner right in front of the ref. The one on Johannson resulting in a meeting with NHL Player Safety, and the hit on Krug which was more of an elbow than anything. The elbow could've been called or not called, I'm not that upset it wasn't. Then you have the holding on Krug that led directly to Krecji having to make a kick save and a beaut. Do missed calls go both ways? Absolutely. But did 2 incredibly missed calls lead directly to scoring chances? Yeah, and that's what you can't have happen - not in June. The fact that the Blues were the least penalized team going into the Final is astonishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Blues were the least penalized team going into the Final is astonishing. My point was not that the refs don't ever miss penalties that should be on the Blues. My point was that the refs do call penalties on the Blues (in fact, they've called more penalties on the Blues than the Bruins consistently, even after Berube's comments after Game 3) so it's a ridiculous notion that somehow the refs aren't willing to penalize the Blues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinFromBoston Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Honestly, I'm more pissed at what a blatantly missed call that was. Sure it takes that goal away, maybe the Bruins tie it maybe they don't (like their PP has done anything since game 3) It's one thing if it was one of those tough "50/50" calls, But to miss such a clear call like that, when the ref is staring directly at it, watching it happen, that's just an embarrassment for the league, and officiating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that hard to change the 5 to a 9... It’s one little line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
