Much agreed, still like Matteius Ekholm that has to be 1 of my favs, he looks and makes smart plays and can grind it out if you want, comes to work every night and hard too.
That doesn't answer the question, what other fights did the Bruins lose in that game? Players piling on top of each other isn't a fight, it's nothing more than a scrum and both teams got plenty of game misconducts.
If they were playing like Boston the penalties would be close to even, which they are not at 11 for Florida and 21 for Boston. As for the officiating being poor, no argument here and I'm usually not one to complain about the officiating but this seasons playoffs have been atrocious.
Officiating in all sports is brutal it seems. Do you watch any MLB? Catch the Angel Hernandez show. I think a MLB strike tracker shows only 62% of his called strikes are actual strikes. There is a push to can him but the Umpires have their own union so that ain’t happening.
It's ok to cross check in the face and only get 5k it's now part of the rules. Pretty sure it's rule 101 how to get a fine and take out the other teams top player.
Tomorrow nights game will either be push back for the win or it will just be a formality for the B,s. Quite a few guys look pretty tired and it gets that way when you are defending in your own zone forever. It's like twice the mins per shift and very hard on the team. Guess we will see what they have in the tank, would be remarkable to win the next 3 but against the cats to which are very good and the officiating sucking that may be a pipe dream.
I read somewhere that there is a push to get some automatic system installed for the home plate umpires job. maybe it was fake new that I read?
Nope they are talking about it Randy. At first I was against it but thinking now it would be better
Angel Hernandez has no business officiating in MLB, once of the worst if not THE worst umpire in all of baseball.
