They called it out on the coverage, but the way the zone entry there messed with Nashville's timing really made a difference. For posterity, Heinen was going for the zone entry, but curled back and passed to the trailing Pasta who then executed a quick give+go with the give taking the puck into the offensive zone. The D went from being mobile at the blue line to being immobile at the blue line because of the curl, and Pasta was able to get below the dots (and 3 of the 4 Nashville players) within a half second of entering the zone. The resulting chaos was exploited for Bergeron's goal.

Even if it is, why the fuck didn’t they blow the whistle when Gryz cleared it from the crease. Just an atrocious refereeing display today.

It’s no surprise that Frederick L’Écuyer is out there for this officiating shitshow, I have no idea how he’s still in the league

Good kill

That’s an incredible shot my Marchand. That puck was coming in hot and not flat and he was off balance.

The skill of these players is mind boggling.

Nordstrom took a beating there before the goal
Got cross checked into the boards from behind and two handed across the face. No call for both worked out in the end I guess.

Jesus that play by Bergeron, batting an aerial cross-crease pass out of the air,m and feeding it forward to break Marchand out within 2 touches

Josi seems frustrated, he’s played like shit today

Going by the stats on NHL.com, it looks like the official scorer(s) did give Bergy an assist on the Pasta goal, so a 4 point afternoon in his comeback.
