That they keep scoring on power plays just underscores how fucked up it’s been that they’ve been largely screwed.

Wait why was there a whistle there? No call, just two guys go down, Bruins have possession, game is stopped?

If you told me fifteen minutes in that we’d be up one at the intermission, I’d have asked you to share your dealer’s contact info.

Essentially they're taking the position that Marchand was interfered with in a manner that warranted a penalty on Hedman, but that he FELL TOO DRAMATICALLY.

Good luck policing that distinction in anything resembling a consistent manner.
I don't see anyway you can sell that with a strait face; imagine that official explaining his reasoning after the game when questioned on that, he be laughed out of the building.

"I called a penalty on the play, but in my judgement, the player on whom the penalty was committed fell in an unprofessional manner."

Ok. Love the late period goals. Build on it.
I do too, because it makes it harder for the Bruins to give up a quick one, or for the refs to call a penalty to try to even it back up.

Whoever said that the way we're scoring on the power play underscores just how bad the officiating has sucked hit the nail on the head. I think the power plays are now like 18-10 in this series, and 2 of the 9 were 5on3's, so we really have had like 8 different power play opportunities in 4+ games.

We have 4 power play goals and a shorty in the last 2+ games. If the refs just fucking call the game the same way for both teams, someone will always be on a power play, and that's a huge advantage for the B's.

Give them offensive zone time that doesn’t get turned back around immediately, and they score.
